2021 Healthy Holiday Gift Guide

November 8, 2021 By Melanie No Comments

I can’t believe it. This is the 4th year of releasing my annual Healthy Holiday Gift Guide and I am just over the moon! I know we’re only half way through November and for some this may be pushing the season a bit early. However, I am all kinds of holly and jolly right now and figure there’s nothing wrong with kicking my favorite holiday off a little early. Not to mention there are some major supply shortages happening this year sooo it appears I am no longer the only one releasing a gift guide a month out.

As always, I put together multiple categories for you to shop your gifts from! There will be a part TWO dropping soon with even more categories to browse so stay tuned. And in the meantime, I hope you all find this helpful as you pick out gifts for friends and loved ones!

If you have any requests for specific categories for part 2 just leave a comment on this thread or send me a DM on Instagram. Always happy to do some digging for you.

#ad The key to a good morning starts with how you spend your evenings, which is why I’ve been doing my best to create more intentional ways to unwind and promote a restful night sleep 😴 

Most evenings the little habits like an everything shower, followed by a hot cup of peppermint tea in my cozy pajamas and reading a book in bed are enough to do the trick

 For nights when I need some extra support, I take @natrolofficial Sleep & Restore. I love that it features a unique ingredient blend—melatonin to help me fall asleep faster, magnesium to relax my body and GABA to improve my sleep quality (after one week)+. And since they’re not something I need to take often, I appreciate that they are non-habit forming 

What are some cozy rituals you like to incorporate into your evenings for a more restful sleep?

14 miles. 7 hours. 1 gorgeous city 🫶🏼

Despite having lived in NYC through my 20s, I never woke up and decided that I felt like walking the entirety of Manhattan in a day… but now that I’m back here with a friend it felt like the perfect way to show her around the city that will always feel like home to me ☺️💕

It was a looong day of walking and my feet are TIRED today but wow was it worth it! If you’re ever in NYC I def recommend doing the “broad city walk” challenge and trying this out yourself. I promise you won’t regret it 

Shoutout to @shaylaquinn for the inspo 👟

Is this something YOU’LL add to your bucket list?

One thing motherhood has taught me? Life becomes instantly sweeter when you learn to stop measuring days by how 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 you are and focus instead on how 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 you can be 🤎

As the seasons start to shift, it’s a great time
As the seasons start to shift, it’s a great time to welcome a little more hygge (a danish concept that is all about creating a quality of coziness and comfort) into our lives 🤎🧸

The focus shifts away from “things” and leans more into small rituals that make you feel grounded, content and present in the moment 

Here are 6 ways to add more hygge into your daily routines:

✨create cozy morning rituals✨

Instead of rushing into the day, try adding one or two elements to your mornings that feel a bit more calm and intentional. For example you can play soft music while you get ready or light your favorite candle while sipping on your coffee ☕️ 

✨make meals feel special ✨

Make mealtime extra cozy and mindful by putting away electronics, using your favorite plates & glassware, or making dishes that evoke a sense of nostalgia and childhood comfort 

✨ add touches of warmth & softness✨

Keep extra blankets nearby, switch to lamps or candlelight in the evening, and rotate in seasonal accents to make your home feel more inviting 

✨bring nature inside✨

Hygge is all about being connected to the natural world — so open up the window to let the crisp air in, buy yourself a seasonal bouquet, or use pumpkins to decorate your home 

✨make time for connection✨

Life is all about who we share it with and cozy season is a great excuse to meet your friend for a PSL, have more family dinners, and host comforting gatherings with loved ones 

✨embrace slow evenings✨

Create a sense of calm before bed by creating slow, intentional rituals. Make a cup of tea, read a book or do a calming hobby, and put on comfy loungewear 

How are you adding a little more coziness into your routine this autumn?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but cozy hob
I don’t know who needs to hear this but cozy hobbies are 100% the self-care we all need in this busy season of life 🎨 

I’ll be sharing some of my personal favorites all season long and the first up are these adorable watercolor books… which are basically the adult version of coloring

They’re the perfect activity to unwind, get creative and intentionally get off your phone 😉. Bonus — each page includes a step by step so they are very beginner friendly AND they only take about 10-15 min. Perfect for squeezing in when you’re short on time but need a min to just “be” 

Let me know if you’re excited to see more cozy crafts & hobby ideas for fall and the upcoming holiday season! I have lots of new things I want to try and can’t wait to share 🤎

Instead of rushing into the day, try adding one or two elements to your mornings that feel a bit more calm and intentional. For example you can play soft music while you get ready or light your favorite candle while sipping on your coffee ☕️ 

✨make meals feel special ✨

Make mealtime extra cozy and mindful by putting away electronics, using your favorite plates & glassware, or making dishes that evoke a sense of nostalgia and childhood comfort 

✨ add touches of warmth & softness✨

Keep extra blankets nearby, switch to lamps or candlelight in the evening, and rotate in seasonal accents to make your home feel more inviting 

✨bring nature inside✨

Hygge is all about being connected to the natural world — so open up the window to let the crisp air in, buy yourself a seasonal bouquet, or use pumpkins to decorate your home 

✨make time for connection✨

Life is all about who we share it with and cozy season is a great excuse to meet your friend for a PSL, have more family dinners, and host comforting gatherings with loved ones 

✨embrace slow evenings✨

Create a sense of calm before bed by creating slow, intentional rituals. Make a cup of tea, read a book or do a calming hobby, and put on comfy loungewear 

How are you adding a little more coziness into your routine this autumn?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but cozy hob I don’t know who needs to hear this but cozy hobbies are 100% the self-care we all need in this busy season of life 🎨 

I’ll be sharing some of my personal favorites all season long and the first up are these adorable watercolor books… which are basically the adult version of coloring

They’re the perfect activity to unwind, get creative and intentionally get off your phone 😉. Bonus — each page includes a step by step so they are very beginner friendly AND they only take about 10-15 min. Perfect for squeezing in when you’re short on time but need a min to just “be” 

Let me know if you’re excited to see more cozy crafts & hobby ideas for fall and the upcoming holiday season! I have lots of new things I want to try and can’t wait to share 🤎
