Top 10 Healthy (and Fun!) Last Minute Gift Ideas for the Holiday Season

by BodyEcology.com
 

Are you tempted to buy that trendy toy or new tech gadget as last-minute gifts? Don’t give in! Instead of temporary satisfaction, give the best present of all: the keys to lifelong health, energy and vitality. Health doesn’t have to be hard. Show your friends and family how fun it can be!

Instead of stuffing stockings with candy and splurging on the latest trends, how about giving the gift of health this holiday season?
 
We’ve got plenty of suggestions and creative ideas to help keep everyone you love happy and healthy!
 
Safe Healthy Sweetener

The sweet herb, Stevia, is all over the place these days, now that the FDA recognizes this fantastic healthy sugar substitute. Stevia doesn’t spike blood sugar levels, contribute to diabetes or obesity, or feed candida.
 
A two-ounce bottle of Stevia Liquid Concentrate is a great stocking stuffer. The “to-go” size is a convenient way to sweeten coffee, tea, or anything else with just a few drops. Perfect for purses and airline carry on bags!
 

Reusable (and Adorable!) Bags

Because the answer to “paper or plastic?” is, “I have my own bag!”
 
One of our favorites is the Flip and Tumble bag. You can stuff the entire bag into an inner pocket for convenience – it folds up to the size of your fist when you’re not using it and carrying it along in your handbag. It’s durable, colorful, and comes with a light shoulder grip.
 
Essential Oils

We could all use a little more relaxation in our lives. Encourage your loved ones to take time out for themselves by giving 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oils.
 
Stressed? Use lavender. Gas and bloating after those rich meals? Try peppermint. Want younger, more radiant skin? Use myrrh or carrot seed oil. Want to reduce cellulite? Use lemongrass.
 

Make Your Own Therapeutic Hand Scrub

Stevia

Give the gift of Stevia Liquid Concentrate – a natural, healthy herbal sweetener. Our Body Ecology version of this increasingly popular sweetener is the best available in terms of taste, functionality and purity. Buy Stevia for your family, and say goodbye to sugar crashes!

For a homemade gift that everyone will love, make your own essential oil hand scrub. Try this wonderful and soothing recipe to heal winter-ravaged skin:
 
Step one: Using a large mortar and pestle, grind down a variety of pure sea salts and raw cane sugar until it reaches a powder consistency. (You don’t want it to be too abrasive!) It’s easier if you grind in small batches.
 
Step two: In a small glass jar, combine the salt and sugar mixture with a generous amount of sweet almond oil and mix until fully incorporated. You can find the oil it at your local grocery or health food store.
 
Step three: Add 10-20 drops of pure, essential oils for a soothing scent and health boost. You can also add aloe and Vitamin E. Mix well, and top off mixture with plenty of sweet almond oil.
 
Step four: screw the lid on tightly and add a decorative note detailing the ingredients and uses!
 

Gift Certificates for Body Ecology Products
 
Can’t decide what to get?  Everyone loves a gift certificate. Call Body Ecology Customer Service at 800-511-2660 to order the gift of health.
 
 
Probiotic Beverages
 
Your gut is the core of total health, and the key to digestive health is an inner ecosystem teeming with friendly bacteria!
 
The best (and easiest) way to introduce your friends and family to with the healthy benefits of probiotics is through our specially formulated probiotic liquids. Everyone is sure to love the taste of Innergy-Biotic, Body Ecology’s new beverage that gives you energy while improving your health!

Seaweed Snacks

Get your friends turned on to thyroid and adrenal-nourishing sea vegetables by giving them the best quality seaweed for ultimate health!
 
We’ve searched high and low for truly pure and unadulterated seaweed, and we finally found it! The Seaweed Man is a family-owned sea vegetable farming business on a pristine stretch of Maine coastline that has no other industry or boating during the harvesting season!
 
For the best the Seaweed Man has to offer, we highly recommend the popular Family Pack for its variety and included recipes. It’s so much better than sending a fruitcake.
 

Innergy-Biotic

If your own life has changed since incorporating probiotics into your diet, there’s no doubt you want to share your health secret with everyone you care about! For the people who keep complimenting you on your energy, skin tone, weight loss and happy mood, a gift of Innergy-Biotic or any other probiotic beverage is sure to please.

Rebounder: The Ultimate Fitness Tool (Especially in Cold Weather!)
 
What’s more fun than jumping on a trampoline? How about jumping for fitness and rejuvenation?
 
Rebounding is more than simply jumping on a mini trampoline. This small, yet powerful fitness tool strengthens and supports virtually every major system in your body. Jumping on a rebounder can help improve your blood and lymph circulation and help detoxify your body.
 
This time of year, when the sun sets early and the cold wind blows, it’s the perfect piece of equipment to have at home. We love the Bellicon rebounder for it’s awesome bungee technology.
 
The Ultimate Yoga Package
 
For the curious yogi-to-be in your life, encourage their journey to the mat with a month of classes at their local yoga studio.
 
Yoga connects the body and mind with deep breathing and stretching that is sure to make anyone feel good. It also aids in detoxification and beating the winter blues.
 
For an extra-special gift, make up a package that also includes an eco-friendly Manduka mat, and a PrAna headband that keeps hair and sweat out of the eyes during practice.
 

A Healthy Cookbook
 
Maybe you know someone who recently committed to eating healthily and living energetically. Show your support by giving him or her a book of recipes that compliments their lifestyle!
 
Of course, we recommend The Body Ecology Diet book, which includes a collection of recipes that work with your body, not against it.
 
For a nice personal touch, include a few of your own favorite recipes for health on pretty sheets of paper, and spread the love!
