The joy of gift-giving is a wonderful thing, but it isn’t always easy to find the perfect present. Fitness fanatics, wellness warriors, health gurus; whichever nickname you want to give them, there are certain friends and family members for whom chocolate and wine just won’t cut it. When it comes to gift-giving for the champions of healthy living, you’ll need something good for the mind, body or soul. Luckily, we’ve compiled the ultimate guide for feel-good gifts they’ll love, starting in the health and grooming category.
Wearable fitness trackers and smartwatches are high on the wish list for fitness enthusiasts of all levels. The new Fitbit Charge 5 has all bases covered, tracking activity, sleep and stress in one neat little design. The continuous heart rate tracking will help that special someone to optimise their workouts and calorie burn, while a built-in GPS will provide real-time pace. It is available in black, lunar white and steel blue, so there’s something to suit everyone’s style.
Is your wellness warrior a devout Google user? The Galaxy Watch4 BT 40mm – Gold is equipped with the new Google Wear OS operating system so it seamlessly connects to the entire Google ecosystem; delivering access to a wide variety of apps and experiences, such as Strava, Calm and Adidas Runtastic Running. It can measure blood pressure, calculate BMI and perform an ECG all without looking like a high-tech gadget. The chic gold finish and slim, circular design make it perfect for the style-conscious wellness aficionado.

Sure, it sounds risky to give someone scales as a gift, but the wellness warrior isn’t just anyone and Withings Body Plus Scales are no ordinary scales. This Wi-Fi connected smart device does a whole lot more than keeping track of weight, as it can shed insight on full body composition, including body fat, water percentage and bone and muscle mass. The scales come in white or black and will automatically sync with the Withings Health Mate app once it’s downloaded on their smartphone. The scales screen displays a trend of the last eight weigh-ins for a progress snapshot – and what fitness fanatic doesn’t love to watch progress? Up to eight users can track their weight and achieve their individual goals, so you might benefit from this gift, yourself.
There are many reported benefits of aromatherapy, and for the health focussed among us, an aromatic diffuser is a great tool in mood-boosting, managing stress and enhancing meditation. This makes the Ellia Gather Ultra Sonic Aroma Diffuser a beautiful gift to give. The basketweave design means it looks more like an objet d’art than an electronic device, and the remote control offers the ultimate in convenience.
Looking for a more affordable gift for your health-conscious friend? The Ellia Relax Ultrasonic Essential Oil Aroma Diffuser could be just what you need. The soft, simple silhouette of the diffuser paired with neutral tones means it’ll blend in with any style of decor, while delivering the heavenly scents of their favourite essential oils. It will provide up to six continuous hours of mist delivery or 12 hours intermittently, as well as a colour-changing light to help set the mood.
On the other end of the scale, the Ellia Harmony Ceramic White Cordless Diffuser is a generous and thoughtful gift for the wellness-focused person in your life who deserves a little indulgence. A style statement in its own right, this elegant design will elevate both the aesthetics and the aromatics in any home.
You’ve got to look good to feel good, right? The VS Sassoon Unbound Cordless Auto Curler is a genius gift for your fitness-fanatic friend who starts every day at the gym. It’ll run for up to 45 minutes cord-free, so it’s easy to throw into the gym bag and go. With anti-tangle protection and a ceramic curl chamber, it’s a gift to their hair, too.
Perhaps they’re more inclined to straighten their hair in their post-gym, pre-office routine? Try the Beurer Rechargeable Hair Straightener instead. Just as thoughtful, it’s a great gift for your fitness friends who are always on the go. The compact design means it’ll fit into any handbag, and can operate for up to around 30 minutes between charging.
Have you ever noticed your fittest friends, who eat well and work out daily in the name of looking after their bodies, often forget to schedule downtime for themselves? Enter the Beurer Foot Spa with Aromatherapy. It’s a luxe gift that will encourage your most active friend to put their feet up every now and then. With interchangeable pedicure attachments, infrared light, aromatherapy and vibration massage all built-in, it’ll earn you a permanent spot as their new favourite person.
For the health and wellness conscious, there is no greater gift than clean air to breathe. The Breville The Easy Air Connect Purifier will help that certain someone in your life to breathe a little easier with technology that targets germs and bacteria, and has a four-stage purification process.
Its Wi-Fi connectivity means it can be controlled remotely via their smartphone, and the eight-hour timer can help to bring peace of mind as they sleep. Complete with a HEPA filter for allergens and fine particles, a carbon filter for odours and smoke and pre-filter for dust and pet dander, this little machine is the gift that keeps on giving.
