Holiday Gifts for 5 Types of Health Buffs in Your Life

Practical, fun, and guaranteed to make them smile between reps.

We all have that friend—the one who blends kale smoothies like it’s a competitive sport, tracks every step, and swears by cold plunges and infrared saunas. Shopping for them can feel like a wellness Olympics; it’s tough to outdo their carefully curated lifestyle.

This holiday season, ditch the predictable gadgets and fleeting trends. Instead, choose thoughtful gifts that genuinely enhance their routine—whether they’re training for a marathon, perfecting their downward dog, or finding calm amid the chaos. With a little help from Huel, we’ve crafted the ultimate guide to gifts that fuel their journey and show you get them.

1. For Your Friend Who’s Always on Their Way to Pilates

They show up in matching workout sets, green juice in hand, with a (seemingly) effortless glow.

• Lululemon Studio Membership – Because their workouts deserve to be as chic as they are.

• Bala Bangles – Stylish, wearable weights for every step.

• Huel Black Edition Ready-to-drink – A protein-packed meal for that post-pilates high.

Every January, they’re ready to take on the world—with a new resolution and routine, of course.
