Black Friday has come and gone (can I get a "hallelujah")?! Today we celebrate its much prettier, more pleasant and totally underrated stepsister, Cyber Monday. Thank goodness for technology. Seriously, who wants to spend the day after giving thanks being tackled by sale-hungry savages, when you can snag similar steals from the comfort of your own home, or office, in a much more civilized and efficient manner? Three cheers for online shopping.
In honor of this lovely shopping extravaganza, we've created a roundup of some covetable gifts for the wellness warrior in your life. Here are a few things any BHH gal is sure to love:
Don't let the clever name fool you, this is NOT a "starve yourself" regimen designed for stick figures (you know us better than that). While the amazing founder and a good friend of the BHH fam, Danika Brysha, did make a name for herself as a hot-bodied and perfectly curvaceous plus size model, that's not what this biz is about. She's a firm believer in finding and sustaining your own healthy bodyweight (whether that's a size 2 or 10+), and encouraging others to fill up on the good stuff. Model Meals is currently delivering clean, locally-sourced, ready-made meals in the Southern California vicinity, for our friends out West. Fingers crossed they'll make it over to the East Coast sooner than later! Pick from their weekly menu or, better yet, grab a gift card - makes for a happy, healthy holiday present!
eXO BIO-DIGITAL PERFECTION MOISTURIZER
Peace out to eye creams, toners, and serums...eXO Skincare nailed it with this all-in-one creme. Living a healthy lifestyle isn't just about food and fitness...we have to care for our bodies, from head to toe, as well (i.e. friends don't friends neglect their complexions). This moisturizer has biotech innovation, treats skin with next-gen natural ingredients and 150 million+ Zen3 exosomes that partner with your unique biology at a cellular level. In a nutshell, it works wonders on skin types of any kind and will leave you and your friends shining bright as Christmas lights!
A metallic gold yoga mat?! C'mon, this is every glamorous, zen seeking gym-goer's dream. You likely aren't going to buy your gal pal fancy gold jewels this holiday season, so this mat is a great, shiny alternative when it comes to appropriate, giftable accessories for your friends. It has a textured base for extra grip and a clever strap, making it both practical and convenient. A winner for sure!
Love the adorable NYC-based Aussie duo that created the fashionable, practical accessories brand, OVERT, designed for busy city girls on the go. First we fell for with their signature NOHO Backpack (hurry and snag one at 40% off with code CYBER40), and now this nifty little pouch set has been added to the wish list as well. It's perfect to take to the gym, on a quick run to your local health food store, or even out for a a casual meet-up that only requires carrying a few essentials.
KIT & ACE WEEKEND BRUSHED HOODIE
NEVER hate on a good hoodie! It's the workout girl's ultimate go-to when temperatures start to drop (oh wait, they already did). Sure, there are some less than thrilling versions out there, which may have contributed to an unfair stigma. But Kit & Ace can do no wrong in our eyes, and this mid-weight style is cut from supersoft fabric, with a cool, "boyfriend" fit that layers perfectly with just about everything. A gift that will not disappoint!
BRAIN-SCIENCE: ANTI-STRESS, AGILITY, AND FAST-LEARNING
YES, this is a coloring book, and YES it comes with rad colored pencils. Don't knock it 'til you try it! If you have friends who are overworked or way too stressed, this present could be very helpful and therapeutic! If nothing else, it's a gift that'll at least initiate a laugh. Seriously, though, these calming exercises, drawn from the study of neuroscience, have been specifically designed to relax the brain, improve concentration and reduce stress. Craft time? Count us in!
XO(ECO) BY BLUE AVOCADO LUNCH KIT
You may have seen our recent rave about lunch boxes for "grown ups" (and no we are not regressing, they actually make great gifts - for yourselves or others). For your friend who is always on the go, but still works hard to stay health conscious, bringing lunch with them to work, or wherever else, this is an excellent choice. Cute, convenient, and made from quality materials, this set from xo(eco) is a total winner.
HAPPY SHOPPING!
