Gift-giving is one of our fave ways to show appreciation for the strong, beautiful souls in our lives. Whether it’s for a birthday, holiday, or just because your BFF deserves some appreciation, picking out the perfect present is like saying, “I see you, I get you, and I love you!”
Now, when you know someone who’s a health nut, choosing a gift that aligns with their passions is a total win. Taking the time to thoughtfully pick out something that fits their hobbies, personalities, and self-care rituals lets them know you see them and support their journey.
So, if your bestie can’t stop talking about their latest yoga session or their trendy new protein shake, we’ve got you covered. Today, we’re digging into some of the best gifts for those health-obsessed friends who live and breathe all things wellness.
So grab your green juice, and let’s jump in!
10 Best Gifts for Health Nuts
Healthy Cookbooks
For your friend who treats the kitchen like a lab, a healthy cookbook is the gift they can never get tired of. We’re talking pages and pages of delicious, nutritious recipes that’ll have them whipping up everything from Buddha bowls to plant-based brownies like they’re auditioning for Top Chef.
You can even gift your recipients a book that fits their specific diet, whether it’s keto, vegan, allergen free, or clean carbs. You’ll literally be giving them the gift of creativity in the kitchen, so they’ll be whipping up guilt-free desserts, vibrant salads, and hearty grain bowls like wellness gurus.
Plus, with a healthy cookbook, they can meal-prep and reduce those last-minute takeout runs while having more delicious, nutrient-packed diet. You’re basically setting them up for success, one wholesome dish at a time.
Also, if your bestie loves the Cookin’ Up Wellness cookbook or The Blonde Files Eats bundle, def tell them to check out the Wellness Her Way and The Blonde Files podcasts!
Reusable Meal Prep Containers
Speaking of meal prep. Your health-obsessed besties would need bowls to package their meals after cooking up a storm using those cookbooks. And what better gift to accompany those cookbooks than reusable meal prep containers?
These containers are a game-changer for keeping meals fresh, organized, and Instagram-worthy. With these containers, your recipients can prep their overnight oats, kale salads, and quinoa bowls for the whole week. They can also feel good about reducing waste by getting rid of single-use plastic containers while still slaying their health goals. We say it’s a win-win!
Besides, these reusable meal prep containers are not the boring old Tupperware from back in the day. Oh no! These are cute enough to post on their stories. And they come in a range of sizes per set, so they can fit in different quantities of food at a time.
Essential Oil Diffuser
Most health nuts have that corner of their home dedicated to relaxation and self-care rituals, and an essential oil diffuser is a great way to level up their wellness sanctuary. This essential oil diffuser kit can fill their room with refreshing Grapefruit Spritz, sweet Pomberry, or comforting Pink Taffy depending on their vibe for the day.
Not only do diffusers make your space smell seriously dreamy, but playing around with different essential oil blends has many benefits for the mind and body. You honestly haven’t lived until you’ve soaked in a calm, lavender-infused bath while listening to your fave Dear Media podcast.
UV Sanitizer Box
We all have one or two hygiene-obsessed besties who constantly rub down doorknobs with disinfectant wipes and load up on hand sanitizer. Gifting them a UV sanitizer box is like giving them peace of mind and next-level wellness.
This little box is perfect for phones, keys, headphones, and really anything they want to de-germify without harsh chemicals. Just pop items inside, close the lid, and let the UV light do all the work, zapping away 99.9% of germs! Plus, some UV sanitizer boxes are portable, sleek, and easy to keep right by the door. Some are even small enough to throw into a bag for quick sanitizing on the go.
Farmer’s Market Tote Bags
Your health-focused bestie needs a tote bag that says, “I’m here for the freshest produce, and I’m doing it in style.” Walking around with a bunch of flimsy plastic bags is a big NO for our eco-conscious queens, but reusable totes are as cute as they are useful.
A well-made farmer’s market tote bag like this, Be Kind to Your Mind tote is the perfect companion for any health nut who loves to regularly stock up on fresh, local goodies. It has enough room to carry all the essentials. No more awkwardly balancing armfuls of veggies or praying those tiny plastic handles don’t snap halfway to the car. With a tote, your health-conscious friend can easily toss everything in one place and carry it all.
Since health nuts are all about making sustainable choices, gifting them reusable tote bags shows that you support their choices. It’s a small but powerful way to reduce plastic waste and keep things green while living that healthy lifestyle.
Coffee Maker
Even the most green-juice-sipping wellness enthusiast loves to start their day with a good ol’ cup of coffee. And if we’re being honest, coffee is practically in its own food group for some of us. Now, when we’re talking about gifting a coffee maker, we’re talking about French presses, pour-over setups, or even an eco-friendly espresso machine.
Coffee makers like these give your wellness besties control over what they’re brewing. They can go for organic beans and skip the sugar-laden lattes from the coffee chain down the street. And it’s way more sustainable than constantly grabbing coffee to-go since it helps reduce waste. You can even take it a step further by including one or two coffee mugs like this Healthy Checklist Mug.
NutriBullet Blender
First of all, can we talk about how easy the NutriBullet blender makes it to blend up some smoothie goodness? With the NutriBullet, it’s basically blend-and-go. Throw in some spinach, chia seeds, your fave fruits, and a scoop of protein powder, and in seconds, you have a perfectly blended, nutrient-packed smoothie ready for the day.
The NutriBullet is basically a mini kitchen superhero. Sleek, compact, and totally countertop-worthy, your recipient can whip up all their favorite recipes without cluttering their kitchen space. Perfection!
It can also crush through frozen fruits, tough veggies, nuts, and seeds like nothing. So, your health-conscious friend can make everything from fresh almond milk to guilt-free dips, dressings, and even homemade sauces.
Massage Balls
We all know how much time our fit fam dedicates to taking care of their bodies, from yoga to CrossFit to some wild new fitness trend no one’s ever heard of. So, what do you get for that fit friend who probably already has the trendiest leggings and the fanciest water bottle? Girl, massage balls.
These magical little spheres are the secret weapon for muscle recovery and self-care. They truly take muscle recovery and tension relief to a whole new level. And the best part is that there are several types to choose from.
There are trigger point massage balls that help relieve muscle tension and peanut massage balls for back relief. There are also vibrating massage balls with multiple vibration settings and textured massage balls to help increase circulation and reduce inflammation. If you’re feeling more generous, you can gift your recipient a combination of these balls.
So, if you want to give gifts that are thoughtful, useful, and maybe even a little extra, massage balls check all the boxes. They’re affordable, effective, and show that you care about your friend’s health and well-being.
High-Quality Yoga Mat
If your bestie is all about fitness, whether it’s hitting a pilates class or doing some stretching at home, you can support her with a top-notch yoga mat. But not all yoga mats are of good quality. Some are simply thin, slippery nightmares.
However, you can never go wrong with gifting a good-quality yoga mat. They provide excellent cushioning and support, making it comfortable for all those stretches and balances. And, since health nuts don’t hold back during their workouts, investing in a durable mat means it can withstand all the sweat and wear.
Podcast Merch
Soooo many health nuts are big fans of podcasts. Why??? Because sometimes it’s the only way to receive modern health guidance from hosts you trust! We’re sure your friend has definitely talked to you about their fave Dear Media content from The Heal Podcast to The Art of Being Well. A great way of supporting that hobby is by purchasing merch from their favorite podcast shop! It supports a solopreneur, promotes your BFF’s healthy lifestyle, and shows them that you’re listening to all that podcast chatter!
You can find lots of our fave podcast merch options on the Dear Media Shop, but here’s some others from DM health podcasts:
- Dr. Will Cole’s Video Courses (The Art of Being Well)
- HEAL Book (The HEAL Podcast)
- The Skinny Confidential Skincare Body Kit (Him & Her Podcast)
- Celestial Club Crew (The Balanced Blonde // Soul on Fire)
- THE OPTIMISM DECK (Looking Up)
Self-care is the best gift of all.
You now have a solid lineup of amazing gifts that will make any health nut in your life feel appreciated. (If you want a slightly different approach, here are gifts for mental health.) These gifts aren’t just thoughtful; they’re practical and empowering. Regardless of whatever you choose to gift, your health nut friend will thank you for supporting their wellness journey.
And, speaking of staying on top of all things wellness, why stop here? Gift your wellness besties tickets to come to see their favorite wellness podcasters at our upcoming Dear Media IRL event this November.
