‘Wellness’ is wonderfully broad. It can mean hydrating, moving, sleeping, eating well, being quiet, being boisterous, doing a mask, sitting in the sun, taking a bath, taking a moment, or so many other things. It’s just as much about going out in nature as it is about getting exquisitely cozy inside with a blanket, piping hot beverage, and good book. And in the spirit of wellness as something so multi-faceted, these wellness gifts are similarly varied.
Each item in this gift guide was chosen for its role in nurturing and nourishing mind, bod, ‘n soul. Special thought was paid to quality of ingredients and materials, in order to celebrate wellness in a holistic sense. Most gift ideas avoid or strictly limit plastic use, and the focus is on plant-based items, earth-friendly materials, and small makers.

There’s something about a mist that screams (or, rather, gently whispers), “wellness.” This beloved option from Knours features vitamin-rich aloe vera water and jojoba oil for a boost of hydration and a peaceful moment anytime of day. (This almost made the $25 cutoff, so I snuck her in.)

What could be more relevant to health and wellness than functional, botanical, booze-free cocktails?

Matcha is kind of quintessential ‘health and wellness,’ isn’t it? And although I do partake in a Starbucks matcha latte from time to time, the real deal is not sweetened beyond recognition. It’s more like this, from Midori Spring: organic, stone ground, ceremonial grade, grown in Japan, and made in small batches. Pair it with a chasen (whisk), chashaku (scoop), wooden-handled sifter, and beautiful cup for the perfect wellness gift bundle.
