Get Well

Chill Gifts: For the Holistic Honey

by Susie Benitez

The holidays are finally here and you know what that means: Food, family, friends, fun, and of course, gifts. (There’s no shame if that’s your favorite part of it all!) We know that every person in your life deserves something special, so we’re here to make sure they get the best gift possible. We’re combing through the best sales and stores (basically doing a lot of the hard work for you) so all you have to do is wrap it up and send it on its way. Oh, and if something on these lists seems a little more perfect for you than as a gift for someone else, well, we don’t see any harm in that, right? A gift to yourself definitely counts, especially during this time of year. It’s all good holiday fun!

To further our gift guides (ahem, Chill Gifts), we have, in true Chill Times fashion, our list for the holistic honey in your life. You know, the one who eats super clean, loves their supplements and vitamins, and is basically always trying to ~chill the f*ck out~ in all aspects of their life? Yup, this one’s for them. (Or really anyone who needs a little wellness in their life.)

Wellness definitely isn’t just skin deep (but I’m sure your friend knows that!), so stocking them up with some internal wellness goodies will keep them balanced and in check from the inside out. We recommend The Nue Co’s Prebiotic + Probiotic supplement as it works double duty by giving you both your pre and probiotics in one shot. Plus, it’s very powerful while still being sensitive on the gut. (And did we mention it’s completely natural, too? Featuring maqui fruit powder, cinnamon powder, ginger root powder, turmeric root powder, and inulin, there’s seriously so much to love here.)

Wellness takes no breaks! Especially during our most precious hours (read: SLEEP). Morihata’s Binchotan Charcoal Eye Mask takes all the benefits of charcoal (removing toxins, reducing, inflammation, the list goes way on) and introduces them into your sleep cycle through their charcoal-infused satin eye mask. So this holiday season, give the gift of real beauty sleep. They’ll thank you.

This Detox Mask offers the gift of wellness with just a touch of luxury (just how we like it). Smelling exactly how you’d imagine a top-tier spa would, it has French green clay to detox pores and antioxidant-rich botanicals to nourish your skin and provide intense hydration. (Heads up: if you’re thinking about buying for a friend, you may end up with one yourself after you see her radiant post-mask glow.)

These notebooks make the perfect gift for someone in your life who journals, meditates, or even just needs a place to keep their agenda. The minimal design on the cover offers an aesthetically pleasing solution to the composition notebook and the blank pages inside allow for full freedom and to allow you to make your notebook your own.

While we did note that wellness isn’t always skin deep, sometimes showing your skin some love is the ultimate form of self-care (especially given winter weather fast approaching). This scrub towel from Morihata will upgrade their shower experience and will get their skin feeling baby smooth in no time thanks to a combination of one soft side and one coarse side, both infused with fine charcoal to draw out impurities.

If your recipient is even half as into wellness as you think, these turmeric lattes would be a hit. The Original Turmeric Latte boasts hugely anti-inflammatory benefits and makes a beautifully spiced latte to warm the body up from the inside out, and the Matcha Turmeric does the same with the added caffeine benefits of the matcha. They’re super easy to use, too, as the blend already included coconut milk powder, so all you have to do is simply add water (though we always encourage getting fancy with it).

  • Actually Curious – Happy Hour Edition

Though this is a card game intended to build meaningful connections amongst family and friends, it can also be used to guide journal prompts and even clarify questions you have about your values… and for all of these reasons, it’s perfect for the holistic person in your life. No matter how they choose to use it, they’ll be largely happy with the outcome.

Vitamins and supplements can be largely personal, but these are great starters for general use! Big Chill helps to alleviate stress and work on your body’s reaction to stress itself while Red Carpet rolls out all the stops to improve hair and nail strength. Promise, they’ll be used at some point!
