Over the past few weeks, I have been sharing a series of posts on A Mindful Approach to Gift Giving to help you connect with more meaning to those you love this holiday season. Remembering to remain thoughtful of the gifts we choose can make a difference for our relationships, health and the planet!

As you start thinking about the Holiday gift-giving season, I am sharing a series of posts with health and mindful gift ideas. In addition to an overall Mindful Approach to Gift Giving, I also shared some of my favorite wellness, health and self-care books to inspire, support and provide opportunities for discovery for those you love! Giving  healthy gifts shows you truly care and helps you connect with meaning.

Today I am highlighting some ideas for giving healthy gifts to your loved ones during the holidays or anytime to celebrate your friendship, show your appreciation and support a healthy lifestyle!  These items are some of my favorite eco-friendly, healthy gifts to give at the holidays or at any special time of the year.

For the Tech Guru: DEFENDERSHIELD CELL PHONE RADIATION PROTECTION CASES

DefenderShield® Cell Phone Radiation Protection Cases Electromagnetic Radiation (EMFs) have been linked to many health issues. These cases provide protection from cell phone radiation without affecting signal quality. The convenient flip cover easily shields the body from radiation based on independent FCC testing while still allowing easy access to phone and camera functions.

Other healthy gifts for the tech guru:

• Organic Cotton Laptop Sleeve
• Solar Charger

For the Gardener: A GARDENING BASKET

A gardening basket is great for your friend who loves to get her hands dirty or your uncle who appreciates locally-grown organic food. Start with a harvesting basket made from natural, untreated materials that can be used for harvesting produce and carrying tools around the garden as well as for a variety of non-gardening activities such as picnics. Include a selection of organic seeds, some organic cotton or bamboo gardening gloves and small tools like a handheld weeder or circle hoe. From planting to harvesting, this gift basket covers it all!

Other great healthy gifts for the gardener include:

• A Greener Kitchen Organic Cotton Full Apron
• Epica Stainless Steel Compost Bin
• Garden Kit & Non-Toxic Gardening Products

For the Whole Family: PACT ORGANIC APPAREL

Recent studies suggest that chemicals used in the making of clothing persist even with many washings. Choose organic cotton apparel that is ethically-produced without sweatshops or child labor for a healthier, more ethical option. I love the many PACT apparel items I own and wear on a daily basis and give these items as thoughtful, healthy and mindful gifts as well! Their colorful socks make the perfect stocking stuffers for the whole family, and I also love their cozy hoodies!

• Organic Baby Hat
• Organic Egyptian Cotton Blanket
• Non-toxic Cookware
• PocketSauna for Healthy Detox Support

For the Fitness Lover: DESK CYCLE

For the fitness-lover in your life or the friend who spends a lot of time at her desk, the Desk Cycle is a fun and compact option to incorporate activity and fitness into your day. This under-desk stationary cycle. I recently had the opportunity to try out the Desk Cycle, a small, lightweight and quiet pedal exerciser that fits discretely beneath your desk.  The Desk Cycle is an affordable option and is small enough to easily move about.

Other non-toxic fitness gifts I love include:

• Manduka Eco-Friendly Yoga Mats
• Tea Thermoflask
• Recycled Silk Yoga Mat Bag
• Amrita Bars make the perfect pre- or post-workout fuel or balanced, real-food anytime snack! You can learn more here!
