With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it can be a challenge to find the ultimate gifts forfamily, friends and loved ones. Not sure what to give this year? As you create your holiday shopping list, encourage a healthy lifestyle for those you’re buying for by giving a gift that keeps giving. From designer glasses to outdoor gear, discover health-minded presents that can make a positive change or improvement to someone’s life.
Give the gift of sight and style with designer glasses
Are you buying for a fashionista who wears prescription glasses? Consider giving a gift card he or she can use to buy a pair of stylish new designer glasses. From thick, geek chic frames to clearly colorful and vintage styles, help your loved one look and see his or her best with one of the latest trends in eyewear this season. If he or she does not wear prescription glasses but has an eye for style, consider a pair of designer sunglasses. Whether it’s a pair of iconic Ray-Ban® Aviator sunglasses or performance-ready Oakley prescription glasses, this gift can be used throughout the entire year to protect the recipient’s eyes from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. Keep fashion in focus this holiday season, and help enhance the way he or she sees the world.
Gifts for the outdoor wanderer
If you’re buying for an outdoor adventurer, give a gift to match his or her lifestyle and it’ll surely be a hit. Come rain or shine, hot or cold, it’s important to be prepared for the elements. Insulated sweaters and fleeces, camping gear and new hiking footwear are gifts that can help encourage your loved one to stay active and get outside. If he or she enjoys outdoor sports like snowboarding in the winter or water skiing in the summer, consider giving safety glasses or goggles as a gift to help protect his or her eyes while staying active.
Gifts for the culinary enthusiast
Do you have a friend or family member who can always be found in the kitchen? If so, think of foodie gifts you can give this year. Many people tend to set health and weight-loss goals as New Year’s resolutions, so consider buying a cookbook that provides healthier meal options, a blender, or food scale that can be used to weigh portion sizes. Is trying new recipes something this person enjoys? Find cooking classes at a restaurant or school nearby to help hone his or her skills. And if he or she loves to bake, look for an apron that can be personalized, or get a new cake decorating set and mixer accessory.
Gifts that promote a healthy mind
Prescription glasses and outdoor gear can be given as gifts that help keep the eyes and body healthy, but would you rather give a present that promotes a healthy mind? If you’re buying for a child, consider purchasing games that help further development and critical thinking instead of toys. Crossword puzzles and trivia games are gifts that can be used to keep the mind sharp. Or, try buying yoga classes at a nearby gym that can help the mind and body. Similarly, consider giving a subscription to a health or fitness magazine that can be enjoyed for months.
Spread the holiday cheer
Buying gifts for those closest to us can sometimes be the hardest. What do you get for the brother who has everything, or for the mother who wants nothing? Consider encouraging a healthy lifestyle with the presents you buy. Are designer glasses or sunglasses on his or her wish list? Or is it a goal to eat healthier and be active in the New Year? Look for health-conscious gifts that can be enjoyed throughout the year and spread the holiday cheer this season.
