2025 Holiday Gift Guide for Health, Focus & Daily Rituals
🎁 The Holiday Gift Guide: Things We’d Gift Ourselves
This isn’t your average gift guide. It’s a list of things we already use, love, or wouldn’t mind unwrapping ourselves this year. From mushroom chocolates that help you focus to activewear you’ll actually wear, consider this a roundup of products that make daily life better—and just happen to make great gifts too.
🍫 Alice Mushrooms | Brain-Boosting Chocolate
Yes, they’re delicious. But these adaptogenic mushroom chocolates are also formulated to sharpen focus, reduce stress, and taste like the opposite of a supplement. Great for that friend who’s into biohacking—or just likes really good chocolate.
🔥 Pique | Glow Starts With Ritual
This time of year, I’m all about simple habits that keep energy steady and skin glowing. My go-to? Pique’s Sun Goddess Matcha—a daily ritual that supports digestion, calm focus, and radiant skin from within. It’s clean, antioxidant-rich, and genuinely makes a difference. For a glow-up that lasts well beyond the holidays, this is the gift I’d give (and keep). Get 20% off here.
☕ Four Sigmatic | Functional Coffee That Hits Different
Coffee, but smarter. Four Sigmatic blends organic coffee with Lion’s Mane and Chaga to support focus and immune function. The result: less jitters, more clarity. Ideal for the work-from-anywhere friend who swears they’re “cutting back on caffeine.”
🧘♀️ Headspace or Waking Up | A Meditation Subscription That Sticks
Most resolutions fail by February—these apps help make mindfulness one habit that actually lasts. Both are sleek, beginner-friendly, and sneakily transformative. Gift one to a friend, and maybe actually use it yourself.
📓 Moleskine | For the One Who Still Writes by Hand
There’s something timeless about putting pen to paper—and Moleskine does it best. If you’re looking for something a little different, brands like Leuchtturm1917 and Appointed offer beautifully made alternatives that feel just as intentional. Great for goal-setters, morning pages enthusiasts, and analog lovers.
🏋️♂️ ClassPass | Fitness Freedom in a Gift Card
For the friend who likes options: ClassPass offers access to thousands of gyms, studios, and wellness spots—from hot yoga to cryotherapy. It’s perfect for anyone who wants variety without the long-term commitment (or just wants to try Pilates without marrying a membership).
🌀 Theragun | Recovery Meets Ritual
There are two types of people in the world: those who own a Theragun, and those who try it once and immediately want one. Great for fitness lovers, stressed-out friends, or literally anyone with a back.
👟 Alo, Vuori or Lululemon | Gym Clothes They’ll Live In
Forget the New Year’s resolution starter pack. These brands make activewear that actually fits well, moves with you, and looks good even at brunch. (No shame.)
🌙 This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray | The Upgrade to Counting Sheep
A cult favorite for a reason—this lavender-chamomile-vetivert blend is part of a calming nighttime ritual that actually helps. Subtle, non-drowsy, and surprisingly effective.
That’s what’s on my list—what’s on yours? I’d love to hear what you’re gifting (or hoping to get) this year. Hit reply or drop a comment.

Really appreciate how the Alice Mushrooms pick bridges functional biohacking with something people actually want to eat. Too many wellness products taste like regret, but normalizing adaptogens thorugh chocolate is kinda genius. Curious if the Four Sigmatic blend holds up taste-wise for those who are particular about their coffee.
