Can you believe the holidays are right around the corner? 2020 is flying by, and we can’t say we’re all that mad about it. As crazy as this year has been, we don’t need any more stress when it comes to picking out fabulous gifts to give our loved ones. That’s why we’ve whipped up this holiday gift guide for you – let us take that stress away!
As gift-giving season approaches, we’re hooking you up with this awesome gift guide so that you can give your favorite wellness gurus something special. And hey, maybe you can give yourself a little something too – we’re always down for some self love.
We surveyed all the fabulous women on our team to get their top wellness gifts for this year. From skincare, to self care, to home products, to fun food products, we’ve got you covered. These are our top picks for looking and feeling our best – we’ve already added some to our own shopping carts!
Skincare
Credo Skincare
Our cofounder Tamar is obsessed with Credo Beauty. All brands on the site avoid ingredients on The Dirty List, and make the most beautiful skincare products! Her favs are the Khus + Khus Sen face serum, the Goldfaden M.D. Doctor’s Scrub exfoliator, and the exa clean makeup.

Odylique Calendula Balm
While we certainly still want you washing your hands all the time (and we mean all the time), we don’t want your poor hands to suffer! This balm is the perfect thick and nourishing fix for dry hands. Our dietitian Brittney takes it everywhere with her!
Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Face Oil
Dry winter skin is no joke. We love using serums and oils to combat it. This overnight face oil leaves your skin feeling velvety smooth and super hydrated. A little goes a long way!
Primally Pure Deodorant
We’re gonna be totally honest with y’all. We have tried a lot of different natural deodorants. And most of them have left us, well…stanky. This deodorant not only works, but actually leaves you smelling fresh, without the aluminum and endocrine disrupters we find in so many mainstream deodorants. Our favorite scents are the charcoal and lemongrass! Use our code vanessarissttord for 25% off your order.
Cocokind MyMatcha Moisturizing Stick
Another one of our favorite soldiers to fight against winter dryness – this matcha moisturizing stick. It’s super hydrating – you can use it on your face, lips, chapped hands, wherever! Our favorite hack – store it in your refrigerator, and in the morning apply it under your eyes. It tones down puffiness and is a lovely and refreshing way to wake up the skin.
Self Care
Gratitude Journal
This year has been…BANANAS. And that’s putting it lightly. There were many points of the year that seemed grim, but we truly believe that devoting time to show gratitude every single day can make all the difference. Even if it’s only a couple of minutes in the morning, taking a moment to truly feel thankful for what we do have can make such a positive impact on the rest of your day. This gratitude journal’s punny sarcasm lightens the mood – which we all need right about now!
CBD Gummies
Having trouble relaxing at the end of the day? Our dietitian Robyn swears by these CBD gummies. Just two gummies help her chill out, let the day go, and unwind for bed.
UGG Fuzzy Socks
I mean, is there anything cozier than a pair of fuzzy socks? These make the perfect stocking stuffer for your sweetie, your mom, your sis, or your bestie!
OPI Drip Dry
If there’s one thing we’ve mastered this year it’s the perfect at-home mani. BUT waiting for your nails to dry is beyond frustrating. These nail lacquer drying drops are like magic. Just drop a tiny bit onto each nail after polishing, and they’re dry in under a minute!
Comfy Pajamas
We’re all about cute pajamas. Nothing makes you feel more together than cute matching pj’s. But we’re not about paying a fortune to look cute…just to hop into bed. These pajamas are not only super flattering and soft – they’re also super affordable. Hook your favorite woman up with her favorite pattern!
Home Products
Philips Air Fryer
Okay we have to show some love to air fryers – we ADORE them! You can throw anything in them – chicken, sweet potatoes, green beans, salmon, tofu – and it comes out delicious every time. Our dietitian Marisa swears by this one – she’s always cooking up something delicious in it!
Healthy Human Coffee Cruiser
Okay, these cruisers are one of our favorite vessels for coffee. When we say it keeps coffee hot for hours…we mean HOURS. Our commutes way be much shorter (we’re talking a nice skip from the kitchen to our home office aka bedroom), but having a nice hot cop of joe (or matcha, whichever is your jam) all morning long is such a pleasure.
Food Products
Brightland Olive Oil
If you really want to treat that special foodie in your life, this olive oil is such a great way to do it. It has a deep earthy flavor, and is the perfect finishing oil for winter vegetables. Our dietitian Marisa swears by it!
Maldon Flaky Sea Salt
Okay we know this may seem odd – to give sea salt as a gift. But just trust us when we say – this is the best salt ever. And you can’t find it in grocery stores! The thick flakes make it perfect for topping sweet treats or finishing any rich side dish.
Jeni’s Ice Cream
I mean, is there a better gift than the gift of ice cream? Jeni’s ice cream is to die for. Not only are the ingredients nutritionist-approved, but the flavors are beyond delicious. They also ship nationwide, so it’s the perfect gift to send someone you may not be able to see this year. Our favs are the brown butter almond brittle and the gooey butter cake!
Lily’s Chocolate
More sweets…it’s the holidays, what can we say?! Okay, if you have a special someone in your life who loves to bake, hook them up with some Lily’s chocolate. This is one of our absolute favorite brands of chocolate. They sell chocolate bars and chips – perfect for baking or just eating straight up. You have to try the salted caramel extra dark chocolate!
Primal Palate Organic Spices
That special someone who loves to cook would love these spices. Primal Palate makes organic spice blends that a) are absolutely delicious and b) take the spice-combining stress out of cooking. Our favs are the taco seasoning, super gyro and curry powder. Our cabinets are stocked with them!
Well, there you have it – our 2020 health & wellness gift guide! Let us know your top picks, and if we left out any of your favs!
