Christmas can be a time of over indulgence for some people, willingly or not. For those that are struggling to live healthier and more meaningful lives, it’s nice to receive gifts that help you stay strong with your goals. With that in mind, I put together a few of my favorite ideas for those that are interested in happy, healthy living.

Grow Love With Me

Because you can never have enough love, Yoko Ono designed this uplifting and magical bean plant for her friends at LongHouse. The directions are simple and when followed to a T, your plant will emerge within 5-7 days. Once your bean sheds its brown shell, ½ reads the word “Love”, the other half is inscribed with a heart that has an arrow going through it. All this delightful bean on a vine requires is a minimum room temperature of 68 degrees and daylight so it’s ideal for those who are rarely home. Charming and inspiring, Grow Love with Me by Yoko Ono is a perfect and unique gift! Buy it now.

These watercolor pencils are perfect for coloring.  Just a few of my favorite things for you to check out:

Cellucor for Health Goals

Love. Luck. Unity. Represent your values with a beautiful piece from the AYLLU collection. AYLLU is the Quechua word for community.

Caring for Chickens

We’ve had chickens and ducks for many years now. Not only is it fun to watch them and take care of them. It’s so much healthier to eat fresh eggs than eggs from the grocery store. If you (or someone on your gift list) loves chickens, here are a few ideas:

• Backyard Chickens Beyond the Basics by Pam Freeman – Lessons for Expanding Your Flock, Understanding Chicken Behavior, Keeping a Rooster, Adjusting for the Seasons, Staying Healthy, and More!
• The Chicken Whisperer’s Guide to Keeping Chickens by Andy Schneider – Everything you need to know … and didn’t know you needed to know.
• Gardening with Chickens by Lisa Steele – Plans and Plants for You and Your Hens.
• The Chicken Chicks Guide to Backyard Chickens by Kathy Shea Mormino – Simple steps for healthy, happy hens.
• 2018 Keeping Chickens 16-month Calendar – September 2017 to December 2018

Floral Address Book and Diary

One of my big goals each year is to get and stay organized. I need to be able to find names, addresses, and contact information quickly. And, I need to keep my appointments straight. I’m old school in that I love being able to reach for an address book for my addresses and not my iPhone.

There is just something soothing about holding a book in your hand. The same is true for my diary or planner. I keep it open on my desk to refer to. If you’re looking for a gorgeous floral address book and diary style planner, I love the ones I received that are by the Royal Horticultural Society. The gorgeous illustrations make this a joy to use each day.

Wrappeez

Did you know that if every American family wrapped just 3 presents in re-used materials, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields? This year try Wrapeez reusable stretch fabric gift wrapping. Use code GIFTWRAPPING17 for 25% off your entire order and code FREESHIPPING25 for free shipping on orders over $25. Can use both codes together! Love how easy these are to use.

Himalayan Salt Lamp

One of the best experiences for invigorating the body while relaxing the mind is a solitary walk on the beach. Now you can capture that same feeling when you’re in your living space or office. A Grey Himalayan Salt Lamp in medium size can oxygenate your surrounding space helping to calm and focus your mind, while boosting your body’s immune system, leaving you recharged and ready to conquer your day.

 

Libre Tea Infuser Tea Glass

This leak resistant thermal container has a health-conscious glass interior and a durable Poly Tritan exterior. It keeps drinks hot or cold and is easy to hold. It’s great for iced tea, sun tea and fruit water as well as hot tea. The filter keeps leaves, herbs or fruits in the glass away from your mouth. BPA Free with a glass interior and durable poly exterior with a removable filter. I love the Garden Dance style that I received.  Buy it today.
