Healthy Holiday Gift Ideas 2009

To finish off our Healthy Holiday Gift series we asked our favorite diet tech to share some of her favorite ideas. Enjoy!

Healthy gifts don’t have to involve the Fruit of the Month Club anymore! With all of the cool technology out there, giving a healthy gift this year is easier (and more economical) than ever before. Here are a few ideas that are sure to make anyone happy:

For your musical friends:
  • iTunes has tons of workout mixes to choose from. Themed for everything from cardio to yoga, you can gift an entire album or make your own custom mix. Personally, I like to create my own mix. It’s just more fun that way.
  • An exercise armband for their phone or MP3 player would definitely come in handy with the new tunes. You can find these at any electronics store, and they come in all shapes, colors and sizes. I know I couldn’t work out without mine!

For the video game junkies:
  • The Wii Fit is still going strong! You can now get the upgrade, Wii Fit Plus, which comes with additional activities, exercises and the ability to customize your own workout.
  • Similarly, the EA Sports Active series has added the More Workouts program. This upgrade includes more routines, a cookbook and a new 6-week challenge. This one is definitely on my wish list.

For your stressed out family member:
  • Nothing replaces a day of spa relaxation, but these HoMedics back massage cushions certainly come close. This one with the Shiatsu massage and heat is very nice. As an added bonus, you can visit often to get a freebie chair massage!
  • A day at the spa! Although not exactly “high-tech”, a gift certificate to a spa is never a bad idea, trust me. Your loved one can choose how they want to relax, and you look like the thoughtful gift-giver that you are. Everyone wins!

Happy holidays everyone! If you have any other healthy gift ideas, I would love to hear them. I still have a lot of shopping to do!
