30 Wellness Gift Ideas So Everyone Can Live Their Best Lives Next Year

We all have that one friend (or maybe it's you!), who knew about acai bowls, celery juice, matcha, and boutique fitness classes before they were trending in the wellness space. They live and breathe wellness. So what's better than gifting them something that they're truly passionate about during the holidays? It might seem like a tall order, especially since they're always two steps ahead when it comes to what's "in," but that's why we're here to help.
We've selected some of the best wellness gift ideas out there, maybe some of these they've never even heard about. So go ahead and shop. Oh, and these aren't just for advanced or intermediate wellness devotees; these items make great gifts for pretty much anyone looking to better their lives in 2021—aka all of us.
Self-Care and Beauty
Send some relaxing finds to your friend who needs it in the coming year, whether they're dealing with busy work schedules, personal matters, or just want a moment to themselves.
Much like its relative, the jade roller, the gua sha facial tool is used to soothe and de-puff skin. But, its added benefits include lymph drainage and increased blood flow. It leaves skin glowing. Gift this to the person on your list with a 20-step nighttime routine, they'll be obsessed.

For the loved one who's going to be spending more time at the gym or fitness studio, the Fitbit Versa 2 will help them keep track of their activity. And it's not just for workouts—it tracks your sleep, has an Amazon Alexa built-in, connects with your smartphone to show notifications, and enables you to control Spotify and Pandora.
Home
You can say that wellness starts at home—it's where you eat, sleep, relax, and for some, even work out. Help your friend or family member upgrade their living space this holiday season with some wellness-inspired home gifts.
Books
A book is a good go-to gift if you're unsure of what to give someone. And there are so many great wellness books out there, from editions about healthy eating to self-care manuals, so there's definitely a title out there for everyone.
