Christmas gifts that look after your body and mind

We all want to give considered gifts this Christmas, and one idea we love is giving presents that focus on our health and wellbeing, helping our loved ones to look after themselves. Health truly is one of our greatest assets, so whether you want to give something that will help them sleep better, ease stress or promote all-around health, Meaghers has lots of great gift ideas for your loved ones.

For fitness fans

This massage gun is ideal for easing muscles that are tight or sore after exercise. Gym bunnies, runners and anyone who plays sport will definitely thank you for it. 

It comes with eight interchangeable heads for different muscle groups, and has two different speeds, allowing you to tailor it to specific points on your body, while a charging cable means it’s easy to charge it up and use it wherever and whenever you need.

For promoting mindfulness

This wellness journal is perfect for those who want to start a more regular check-in with themselves mentally, but are not sure where to start. Providing prompts to help you celebrate small wins, practice gratitude and let go of things that are not helping you, it guides you to help promote a better mental space.

Its attractive design and fun stickers to track your progress also mean you’re more likely to stick with it.

For good gut health

We are becoming more and more aware of how our gut impacts our overall health, from how we absorb the nutrients in our food, to how our immune system functions, to how our mood is. 

Our gut health can be poor for a number of reasons, but the Symprove 12-Week Programme is a great way to get it back on track. It contains a unique formulation of live and active bacteria that works to support your gut microbiome. Through a patented delivery system, these beneficial bacteria bypass the harsh stomach environment and reach the targeted areas of your gut, where they can flourish and provide their numerous benefits. It’s the perfect gift to boost someone’s overall wellbeing. 

For skincare obsessives

We all know someone who is constantly buying the latest creams and serums, but good skin health starts from within. Vitamin C and collagen have many benefits, from supporting immunity to bone health, but both can also be beneficial for our skin. 

Zook’s vitamin C and collagen are delivered in liposomes, meaning they are more easily absorbed by your body. 

For little ones 

Children can struggle to deal with big emotions, especially feelings of worry or anxiety. Designed by The Irish Fairy Door Company, The Calming Caterpillar is a weighted soft toy and a timer to help them take a moment to breathe. 

The caterpillar has Velcro feet and a bendy fidget antenna, while its weighted body can help children to feel grounded. Watching sand pass through the timer allows them to take some time to process their feelings, teaching them healthy techniques for the future.
