Fun and healthy ideas for everyone and every budget đź’Ş

I’ve collected some of my favorite fitness and wellness gifts, many of them I’ve been introduced to over the last couple years. Cheers to a healthy and happy 2025!

The American Glutton Prep Deck is a 90-card deck that makes healthy meal planning easy and gets the recipient out of cooking rut. It gamifies a boring task by separating elements to pick from — such as protein, veggie, flavor, aromatic — to come up with a new combination for dinner. A tasty respite from plain chicken breasts! As American Glutton podcast host Ethan Suplee describes it, “Whether planning for one or the whole family, these cards offer a fun and straightforward approach to nutritious eating. Portable and easy to use, it’s a thoughtful present for the New Year, helping loved ones stay committed to their wellness goals. Perfect for fitness enthusiasts and health-conscious individuals alike.”

Watch Ethan and I use the Prep Deck to pick my dinner.

XX-XY Athletics has become one of my favorite companies thanks to its feisty founder, Jennifer Sey, and their quality apparel. I have the Fearless Fleece in four colors and the leggings — now available in a sparkly pink. The Fearless Fleece makes a great gift because of the easy sizing. You also can’t go wrong with any of the hats or shirts, especially for your favorite Girl Dad. It’s just a fact that having good workout clothes is motivation to workout. You’re also supporting a great brand and cause. Use code LISA20 for 20% off!

We were excited to get a Hooga Red Light Therapy for Face and Body as an early Christmas gift this year. If you follow beauty trends, you may have seen the red light face masks. Red light therapy has many benefits beyond the face, so I’m eager to try out our new devices! Hooga is a great brand for red light therapy and other products because they are designed and headquartered in Wisconsin. As the popularity for red light therapy grows, there will be a lot more questionable products out there.

The Canopy Filtered Showerhead is life-changing. My hair and skin feel so much cleaner and it makes a huge difference without compromising on water pressure. They also make a bedside humidifier and the holiday bundle includes aromatherapy oils you can use with the humidifier.

Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells are especially handy for small spaces. We converted our formal dining room into a gym (ha!) because it has a door and I need my privacy. However, it’s small and this set gives you lots of weight options without taking up much space. They also look really impressive even if you’re only doing 20 pounds.

A 15-pound medicine ball was given to me by personal trainer and BRIGHT contributor Elissa a couple years ago. Similar to resistance bands, it’s a budget-friendly addition to a workout collection with tons of options for use.

Functional mushrooms are having a moment. Laird Superfood, founded by surfer Laird Hamilton and his wife, volleyball player Gabby Reese, has a ton of products to add adaptogens to a wellness routine. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “Adaptogens are plants and mushrooms that help your body respond to stress, anxiety, fatigue and overall wellbeing. You can take adaptogens by adding them to food or beverages or take them as tinctures. Adaptogens bring your body back to a steady balance by managing both physical and mental stressors.”

My guy’s favorite is the Sweet and Creamy Superfood Creamer in his coffee every morning. I don’t drink coffee, so the Hot Chocolate is on my wish list. It must be really good because it keeps going out of stock.

Neom Magnesium Body Butter is a luxurious way to aid muscle recovery and sleep. There are various magnesium creams and sprays available, but this one feels more like part of a beauty routine than “time to put on my BENGAY” routine.

One of my most-used gifts from my sister is a sunlight alarm clock. There are many options with different settings and features. The Hatch Restore Sunrise Alarm Clock is on the top end and allows you to set the time and other features through an app. Mine is closer to this one that you set like a normal alarm clock, but has similar features like setting gradual light increase over a period of time, with or without sound. I use ocean waves 🌊
