Must Have Wellness Gifts_Kristen Kunk.png

Can I tell you how much I love making these gift guides for you all!?! It’s been so much fun to round up all my favorite health and wellness gift ideas to help inspire you gift giving this year. I personally love to gift give and will go to the ends of the earth to find the perfect gift for everyone on my list. I’m even know to make a whole theme around the gifts I give, because I think there so be meaning and reason behind every gift. For me, there is just something so magical watching your loved one open a gift you poured your heart into because you wanted them to feel special and seen. It’s the most amazing feeling ever!

So to keep with the health, wellness and and wellbeing gift guide theme, today I am going to share with you my wellness must-haves! These are all things I personally own and use on a daily basis to keep my mental, physical and emotional health well balanced. If you gifted any of these wellness inspired products to your loved one, I can promise you she/he will love it! So here we go…




Hydro Flask: I use mine every single day! I bought mine a few years ago to inspire myself to drink more water and it has helped tremendously. It holds 32oz of water, keeps your water super cold and the straw feature helps you consume more water than you normally would from sipping. I travel with mine everywhere!




Align Legging: I have been singing the praises of these leggings for YEARS because they are my absolute FAVORITE. I think I have 3 pairs and I wear them almost daily, unless in the laundry. I cannot express to you how comfortable these pants are! They are not built for intense workouts, but I do wear mine for weight training, for walking around the neighborhood and yoga. They’re a true athleisure closet staple and any woman would love!




Bala Bangles: I snagged a pair of these at the beginning of the year when everything shut down. They’re such a great addition to your at home workout setup and super versatile. I wear mine when I go for a walk or do yoga. This neutral color is so chic and takes workout style up a notch. A great stocking stuffer!




Anti-pollution Drops: I added these drops to my skincare routine to help aging based on outside pollutants and “digital aging” aka blue light block. These drops are an investment, but a little does go a long way, and knowing how much we are in front of our screens these days these drops a must have! Any woman would be appreciative to receive these drops to add to her beauty routine.




Patagonia Puffer Vest: I have had mine for years and LOVE it. If you know my family at all, we are all HUGE Patagonia fans. This vest is super warm (it’s down) and a great thrown on after a workout or easy to wear during an outside hike or walk. So versatile and such a workout outfit staple. A great gift!




Running Shoes: A blogger I follow posted about these shoes during the Nordstrom sale and I just so happened to need new running shoes. For me, finding the perfect running shoe is a needle in a haystack and so far, I love these. They are stylish, comfortable and don’t make my knees hurt when I run. For me, that is everything! If you know an avid runner, these are a must have gift to support her in her next 5k!




Resurfacing Sleep Mask: The perfect overnight mask to reduce fine lines, dark spots and plump your skin back up so you can look young and fresh. I added in this mask to help my face and skin restore while I slept so I could wake up looking like a better version of myself. This is a clean and non-toxic face mask and a great staple to add to a nightly routine. Another great stocking stuffer idea.




Peloton App: The Peloton App has been my workout saving grace this year. I was lucky that I purchased my bike back in January prior to COVID, but the app has all types of classes and Peloton really expanded on it this year. There is cycling, running, walking, strength training, yoga, barre, meditation and more! I love my app so much. I also use it when I go to the gym to help guide my workouts.

CBD Roller Set: We all know it has been a stressful year and CBD is all the rage. I have a set of these calming and energizing rollers to help me get back into balance when I feel off. These smell delicious and the quality of these oils is beyond amazing and worth the investment. A great gift set to help bring wellness and balance back to your wellness lover!




Vitamix: After years of pinning for a Vitamix, my husband gifted me one and it has become my newest obsession. I use mine daily and love how well it mixes all my superfoods together into the perfect smoothie. No longer do I need to buy $10+ smoothies cause I can make them in my own home. It truly was the best gift/surprise ever, so you will not disappoint with this gift.
