Ideas for healthy holiday gifts

Wondering what to get someone (or yourself) for the holidays this year? Here’s a tried list by yours truly that is both healthy and thoughtful.

Silk pillowcase + Silk eyemask

Benefits Of Silk

Silk is also hypoallergenic and less abrasive than cotton or synthetic fabrics, making it ideal for delicate skin and hair. It helps retain moisture and prevent dryness, leaving skin and hair hydrated and soft when you wake up.

Silk also reduces puffiness and dark circles, preventing the formation of fine lines and maintaining the effectiveness of eye creams or serums.

When shopping for a silk eye mask, look for 100% mulberry silk, a higher momme weight (the measurement of the silk), and an adjustable strap.

1. Silk Pillowcase + Silk Eyemask

Features: The silk on the pillowcase and the eyemask reduces friction with its ultra-smooth material. This can help reduce wrinkles, split ends, puffy eyes, and dark circles.

Why Buy: A silk eye mask is a luxurious yet practical investment that can help improve both the quality of your sleep and the health of your skin and hair.

Red Light Therapy

Benefits of red light

Red light therapy (RLT), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), involves the use of specific wavelengths of light, typically in the red or near-infrared spectrum.

These wavelengths penetrate the skin to reach the cells, triggering various biological processes that promote healing and wellness.

Exposure to red and near-infrared light in the evening can in addition help regulate your circadian rhythm and improve your sleep quality.

2. Red Light Therapy

Features: Boots have collagen-producing levels and anti-inflammatory properties, stimulating the body’s natural healing process.

Why Buy: Whether you’re looking to boost your skin’s appearance, recover from intense workouts, improve your sleep, or reduce chronic pain, red light therapy offers many wellness benefits.

Weighted Blanket

Benefits weighted blankets

The deep pressure provided by a weighted blanket has been shown to help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation.

By reducing heart rate and promoting a sense of calm, the blanket can make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.

Weighted blankets are available in various weights, typically ranging from 5 to 30 pounds, and come in different materials and sizes to suit individual needs.

3. Weighted Blanket

Features: Weighted blankets provide the user relaxation by imitating a warm hug.

Why Buy: If you’re ready to take your self-care to the next level, a weighted blanket might be the cozy, comforting solution you’ve been searching for.
