11 Dec 10 Healthy Christmas Present Ideas
If you’re looking for healthy present ideas to gift your loved ones this Christmas, you’ve come to the right place. From luxury hampers to cost effective stocking fillers, here are a few of the gifts I’ll be putting under the tree this Christmas.
10 HEALTHY CHRISTMAS PRESENT IDEAS
CAKE RECIPE BOOK
One for the baking fanatic(s) in your life. Red Velvet Chocolate Heartache is a beautiful book and a collection of delicious cake recipes with a twist. Far from your usual sugar and butter heavy bakes, Harry Eastwood’s recipes use healthy ingredients (like grated vegetables and ground almonds) and yet taste so good you’d never know.
£16.80 – Red Velvet Chocolate Heartache
A HEALTHY HAMPER
No Christmas gift guide would be complete without a hamper. My favourite place for healthy hampers is Planet Organic who do a wide range of options. There’s something to suit everyone whether you’re looking for vegans, gluten free or organic.
From £25 – Planet Organic
WARMING LATTES
Pukka are well known for their herbal teas, but they also make five delicious lattes that make for a warming treat at this time of year. They are a tasty way to enjoy the health benefits of superfoods like turmeric, ginger and cacao. If you’ve got a friend of family member who is hooked on sugary coffee shop lattes, this is a great stocking filler for them.
From £3.99 – Pukka Herbs
A SPA GIFT
A spa treatment is not only relaxing and therapeutic, it’s also giving the gift of ‘me time’, making it a great gift for mums in particular. Buy a Gift list a number of spa treatments, spa days and spa breaks with an overnight stay, catering to all budgets and locations.
From £59 – Buy A Gift
CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
Booja Booja organic, vegan chocolate truffles are truly indulgent. Available in a range of flavours from classic Champagne to raspberry, and – my favourite – almond and sea salt caramel, there’s something to suit everyone’s taste. The Artists Collection makes for a beautiful gift with truffles presented in boxes hand painted by artists in Kashmir.
From £19.99 – Vegan Town
A WELLNESS JOURNAL
Described as ‘the simplest thing you can do to start your day happy’. The Five Minute Journal encourages you to focus on the good in your life, become more mindful and live life with intention… in just five minutes a day. I was given this as a gift myself and have gifted it to numerous friends and clients over the past few years.
£18.99 – The Five Minute Journal
PERSONAL TRAINING
Know someone who is into fitness? Or who is planning to up their exercise game in 2021? Why not gift them sessions with a personal trainer. A friend of mine gave a course of PT sessions to his unconvinced mum a couple of years ago. She ended up enjoying the sessions so much she’s continued with her trainer of her own accord. My fantastic trainer – Barney Groenwold – is based in South Africa and trains me remotely via FaceTime. Thanks to the favourable exchange rate, his training sessions are about a quarter the price of your average London trainer.
£20 per session (when purchased as a block of 10) – Fusion Fitness
WATER INFUSER BOTTLE / TEA FLASK
With everyone turning their attention to reducing our impact on the environment, reusable water bottles are the perfect gift for your eco-conscious friend. Wilford & Sons make an elegant flask that doubles up as both a cold water and tea infuser, great for both cooler and warmer months.
£15.99 – Wilford & Sons
BAMBOO ACTIVEWEAR
Socks are a staple festive stocking filler that you can’t go wrong with. My go-to brand is Boody, a range of eco-friendly base layers made from bamboo. The breathable fabric is the softest and most comfortable you could imagine. Boody also do a comprehensive range of Activewear, perfect for yoga lovers.
From £3.99 – Boody

Currently available for £99 (RRP £139.95), the gift bundle includes a complimentary Collagen Zooki 7 sachet trial pack, and a gift card you wrap under the tree for your loved one(s).
