Healthy Gift Guide 2021

This picture is me back in Cali in 2011 researching healthy products, and I haven’t stopped since. …(Like literally have not stopped).

 I say I’m going to do a gift guide every year and never get the chance, but I started early this year so I can bring you a few of my favorite holiday ideas for health-conscious, eco-centric,  biohacking, organic lifestyle-seeking family, friends, and kiddos. Criteria? Every product we use in our household on a daily basis. 

Now get ready to stuff those stockings!

1.Bluelight Blockers (for adults and kids)
Studying or working after dark? No problem. Designed and assembled in California, these blue light blockers provide superior protection both daytime and nighttime.  Choose the daylight blockers for heavy screen days, and the nighttime blockers to add after dark to help increase melatonin production. The kids wear these whenever they’re in front of screens or days we can’t get outside because of weather. Circadian rhythms are very real, and when they derail because of stress, poor sleep hygiene, and too much blue light (especially after dark) we can run into trouble. These are true lifesavers!

2. Ceramic tea kettle
One stop shopping for all herbs, extracts, teas, spices and accessories. I have their beautiful glass tea pot and this ceramic one is on my list. They also make wonderful herbal teas and combination essential oil extracts like their winter extract (on sale now) using Echinacea purpurea root, organic goldenseal root, fresh organic ginger root, and fresh cayenne fruit and their sleep care extract with valerian root, wild lettuce herb, blue vervain aerial portion, and organic hops flowers. Also on sale are there granite mortar and pestle, soul roots planner & journal, and mistletoe!


3. Bath bombs
Luxurious for both adults and kids. I am wary of all bath, hair, and skincare products since anything that is absorbed through the skin, directly enters the bloodstream (yes even those pretty colors). For this reason, products for bed & bath need to be free of fragrance, parabens, and other hormone-disrupting chemicals. We love these essential oil-based bombs for the bathtub. (They also have one for sinus and congestion relief). 


4. Perfect Bars
The best little stocking stuffers! (Then toss in the fridge). Can serve as an emergency meal when on the go.  Our favorite is the peanut butter chocolate chip. Kid sizes also available. 


5. Bedtime elixir Lunar Latte

My new favorite nightcap. OMG. With ashwagandha, camomile flowers, lavender buds, reishi, and passionflower with the slightest hint of vanilla, I have been sleeping like a baby. Just blend with warm milk of choice. 

6. Stainless Steel Water Bottle (make this the year you toss all the plastics)

We’ve got em all, and these are our favorites. Excellent quality and they don’t leak!


7. A course in miracles

My bible. This book has served as the most beautiful landing pad when I’ve needed some clarity this year. It offers such innate wisdom into the spiritual world but in bite-sized pieces. I recommend this book when you’re balanced & happy, when you’re feeling a bit lost, and everywhere in between. 

8. Dry farm wines

Organic, clean, low sulfite wines from all over the world? And if you’re looking for super low alcohol with even more benefits, check out their botanical elixirs.

The easiest tea to make (hot or cold) now gets you one step closer to drinking the rainbow?

Yes, The powerful antioxidants found in colorful plant foods help support a healthy immune system and radiant skin. So loading up your plate with veggies is a great place to start. But when it comes to antioxidants and your health, the more the better.. Love the jasmine green tea!

10. So Young eco backpack

This is our favorite, eco-friendly backpacks and it’s big enough to hold a lunch box and change of clothes. Also machine washable. 


11. Le cruset Cast iron skillet

A Cast iron product is hands down the very best kitchen investment you can make (along with a good chef’s knife). If you plan on cooking more as part of your New Year’s resolution, then this pan will be a great addition to your wish list.

Want a petite and gorgeous gift idea that contains the periodic table of necessary minerals? These fancy pants electrolyte glass viles!

14. Ion (intelligence of nature Skin spray)

I have one of these skin sprays in my bathroom and kitchen for easy access. You know how I’m always talking about the microbiome? Well it just so happens that the skin is not just a supersaturated organ, but a huge part of our immune system and one that should be filled with diversity. It will leave your skin quenched, glowing, and healthy. Spray your kids too!

15. Boka Ela Mint Natural Toothpaste 

Why not stuff a stocking with one of your new favorite toothpastes? We’ve used Hello, Jack & Jill, and all the non-flouride toothpastes, but love the addition of nano-hydroxyapatite which studies show is just as effective as fluoride in regards to remineralization of initial caries/decay as well as prevention. The coco ginger is heavenly.

I add the threefold blend powder to smoothies, soups, and sprinkle it on root veggies before putting in the oven. You can also toss them into baked goods.

Another great last minute gift. The kids use this during long car trips when in need of some calming (if I’m lucky it may even lull them into a nap). Non toxic, and gluten-free, with options scented or not. Since I prefer essential oils, we just add a drop of our own.
