The holidays are upon us...

and it’s time to grab any last minute gifts (or if you’re like me, all of them because you’ve waited until the last minute like you do every year).

I love getting and receiving gifts - it’s one of my love languages. But I’m not a fan of buying things just to have a gift to give.

 

I like my gifts to be intentional and know that they’re going to bring joy to the receiver and enhance their life.

 

Check out some of my favorite gift below! They’re an excellent way to gift a little health and happiness this year to anyone in your life AND are a helpful way to let your loved ones with depression and anxiety know that you get it and you’re there for them.

 

Winners for $50 and under

The 14 Day Mindset Reset

One of my ALL TIME favorite courses. My 14 Day Mindset Reset gives you over 40 different guides, tools and resources to conquer the negative throughs, bust through your limiting beliefs and change how you’re thinking so you can finally take control of your mood.  

 

Starter Journals

Journaling is a powerful tool to increase self-awareness, boost confidence, reframe negative thought patterns, and to help focus on gratitude and positivity in general. Here are two of my favorites!

Start Where You Are

 

The Five Minute Journal

 

Power Thought Cards

Use this card deck as a part of your morning routine to retrain your subconscious with empowering beliefs to help you feel naturally calm, confident, and care-free!

 

Velvet Knotted Scrunchie

The perfect lil scrunchie to tie your hair back for those no-wash days while still looking cute AF.

 

Lemon Slippers

The coziest slippers ever to keep your feet toasty all winter long while you self-care it up on the couch, with a mug of something delicious and a good book.

 

Acupressure Mat

Take your self-care game to the next level with an acupressure mat. Experience some of the many benefits of acupuncture without the needles. I use mine as a regular part of my evening wind down routine!

 

Wild Botanicals Gift Box

Clean, natural, botanical ingredients that smell heavenly. You can’t go wrong with bath salts, soaps and lip balm all wrapped up in the cutest little box!

 

My Intent bracelet

My Intent - a beautiful, simple and the perfect reminder of a phrase to keep you going. I have one that reminds me to “accept what is.” Personalize yours to “be in the moment,”  “breathe,” or whatever else inspires you.

 

More Self Love Mug

Start your mornings with a big cup of something warm, comforting, and a reminder that you can never have too much self-love.

 

$50 and up

 

Headspace subscription

Meditation is one of the MOST POWERFUL tools when it comes to managing mood but can be challenging to learn on your own. Headspace offers high quality guided meditations to help you create your own practice!

 

Weighted Blanket

I’m gifting myself one of these this year. 😀 Weighted blankets are cozy AF and help to induce an almost immediate sense of calm, safety, and relaxation.

 

The Living Room Workout Club Challenge

Exercise is another brilliant tool for mood management but especially for busy mamas can be so challenging to get into. Allison Marie, a brilliant trainer and a mom herself, walks you through everything you need to make it a lifestyle!

 

Cleaning services

When you’re stressed, anxious or depressed keeping on top of house cleaning can feel impossible. Gifting someone a one-time or regular cleaning service takes the pressure off and can be the perfect jumpstart to get them feeling clean, calm, and in control.

 

Online Yoga Class Subscription

Yoga is one of my go-to, must prioritize practices that leaves me feeling grounded and confident. Trish Curling is an incredible and super relatable instructor, her subscription is perfect if you’re looking to get started or too intimated to take an in-person class!

 

Handmade Tassel Earrings

The most gorgeous pair of earrings to brighten anyone's mood and add a little fun flair!

 

Ketones Starter Pack

Ketones have changed things in a big way for me! I love having a supplement that boosts my mood and energy and supports my body - especially helpful during the holidays when I might not be my most active and am definitely eating more sugar and inflammatory foods than normal. (use referrer code JuliaBalto).

 

Gift Certificate for a Massage, Reiki, or both!

I mean, they feel incredible and are a fantastic way to pamper anyone. AND there is a lot of research coming out suggesting that both are helpful at reducing depression and anxiety!

 

Have a gift that should be on here? Let me know!

Happy Holidays!
