Meghan’s Healthy Living Gift Guide
As you know, I rarely share or promote companies unless I truly love them and since I am not much of a shopper, it’s rare that I discover amazing stuff before anyone else. That being said, I might have a few special trinkets up my sleeve that you may not be familiar with or have yet to discover how awesome they are. This is my Ultimate Healthy Living Gift Guide!
When I shop for myself or presents for others, I always want to feel great about my purchases. I love supporting local or small businesses (I am an Etsy junkie!) and companies with ethical give-back programs. Also, if there’s a crystal on it, I will love it.
Of course, I am also a huge advocate for skipping the holiday shopping altogether and giving other things.
My Favourite Kind Of Gift Giving: Experiences
🍽 Eat In Together: Prepare a beautiful meal to share with the special people in your life.
😋 Make It Yummy: Prepare a delicious edible gift.
🎨 Get Creative: Use your own unique talent to create something – maybe a poem, a song, a love letter, some natural beauty care products, a painting, or a self-choreographed dance.
💃 Do Something: Give an activity you can do together – a trip to a museum or gallery, a dance class, a dinner at a restaurant you’ve been wanting to try, a movie, a couples massage, a holiday!
✨ Do Unto Others As They Won’t Likely Do For Themselves: Give something they need but would never buy themselves – a high speed blender (here’s the US link to the one I love), a massage, or an extra cozy pair of new slippers (why do we always wear our slippers until they’re barely holding together?!).
⏰ Your Time: In this epidemically busy world we now live in, time could be the very best gift of all. Give yourself over to someone you love, someone you haven’t seen in ages, someone you want to get to know more, and be together. Go for a long walk, make dinner together, or for those with children, offer to babysit!! That is the best gift of all.
The Gifts That Give
Gifts that give back are at the top of my Healthy Living Gift Guide and for good reason! I have seven nieces and nephews and I found it challenging watching kids who have everything unwrap a ton of plastic garbage toys that were undoubtedly stashed away in a closet or broken within a month. So I voted to give each child one gift card to get something special, and to make a family donation to a cause that the kids could all choose together.
Given that we live in a very abundant culture, I am a big fan of the gifts that serve a greater purpose and can honour the ones you love by helping those who have less:
- Adopt a family and provide gifts for a family in need in your local community.
- Create a lending team with Kiva and give in honour of your family.
- Help provide families in your community with a holiday meal with Community Food Centres of Canada.
All of these organizations are set up to allow you to donate as a gift in honour of someone you love.
Of course, sometimes, we just want to give something tangible and thoughtfully chosen for the people we love. There is joy to giving presents and it’s good for our health too.
Below is a list of gift ideas that I’d love. Maybe you’ll find some inspiration here for yourself or for a loved one!
Ultimate Healthy Living Gift Guide
The Gift Of Chemical-Free Sleep
Why our bed tends to be the lowest on the rung of things we make investments on is beyond me. We spend 1/3 of our life in bed. Most beds are loaded with chemicals and most of us aren’t sleeping well. Could the bed make all the difference?
What if instead of buying each other a bunch of little things, you instead invest in the gift of a new bed? Something you will enjoy for optimally eight hours a night for the next 20 years.
I have long been a fan of Sunshine Mattress Co. They sell organic latex mattresses, foundations, and accessories and they’ve done the work for you. There is no mattress company with the standards and knowledge that they have.
Use coupon code MEGHAN5 for 5% off mattresses and MEGHAN10 for 10% off accessories at Sunshine Mattress Co. If you’re in the GTA and want to head to the store to try a bed in person, drop my name for 5% off.
Living Libations
If you’re looking to add some glow and goodness to your holiday gifting this season, I’m thrilled to share a few of my absolute faves from Living Libations. If you’ve been in my community for some time, you’ll know that I am completely obsessed with their products. Living Libations, based in Haliburton, Ontario, sources the purest essential oils from around the world. Their luxurious, plant-powered products never fail to wow, and they’re always in my self-care routine—whether it’s for my skincare, wellness, or even travel essentials.
Here are some items I know you’ll love just as much as I do: The Nose Glow is a red light therapy device that works wonders for nasal health, sinuses, and overall well-being—helping reduce inflammation and support healing. The Best Skin Ever Seabuckthorn Oil is packed with skin-loving nutrients for hydration, balance, and a radiant glow. For fresh breath and a healthy smile, the Triple Mint Tooth Enamelizer is a must, with its blend of essential oils that strengthen enamel and fights bacteria. And the Rose Glow Serum is an indulgent treat, deeply nourishing your skin with precious rose oils for a dewy, glowing complexion.
Whether you’re gifting these treasures or treating yourself, Living Libations offers the kind of luxurious, clean beauty we all deserve. Trust me—you’ll be hooked.

Online Fitness: Obé
After the birth of my son, I found it hard to get back into a fitness routine that I could realistically maintain. That is, until I found Obé Fitness. There are very few things I’ve experienced in my life that I would call life-changing, but this habit that is new in my life absolutely has been. These workouts are on-demand, short, full of variety, and are utterly FUN. Most important for me, however, is the mental and emotional shift I am feeling. I feel stronger, and more resilient mentally. In fact, after nearly six years, I am taking on my first Obe Program challenge and working towards a pull-up. I aim to get there before I hit my ten-year anniversary on the platform.
This is one of those gifts you may have to be mindful of – you don’t want someone to take it the wrong way ;) But I recommend making it a group thing and gift it to yourself and a friend and make it happen together!
Register over at Obé and use coupon code MEGHAN50 to get 50% off your first month, plus a 7-day free trial.
Hello Joyous Beauty Care
In 2023 my friends over at Joyous Health launched their stunning, conscious and extremely well-thought-out beauty line Hello Joyous.
Many of their products are completely scent-free which I appreciate and though I have yet to master the dry shampoo technique, I am loving the Magical Mist Toner and Hella Hydrating Serum for morning and evening use. I use the Ultra Moisturizing Body Butter nightly on my feet.
In addition to the quality ingredients, I also appreciate the thoughtfulness towards low and zero-plastic packaging.
Their teas along with the growing line of products makes this both a brand to love now and to keep an eye on as they grow and expand their product line.

BioMat
I’ve been using this infrared-heating wonder for over two years now, and I honestly can’t imagine my routine without it. It’s not just a heating pad—it combines infrared heat with amethyst crystals to create a deeply grounding, soothing experience.
I use mine 5-6 times a week, and love it – especially during the colder months when I’m craving warmth and relaxation. It helps with everything from pain relief and stress reduction to better sleep and a little mood boost. It’s the perfect way to unwind, especially when the world feels a little chaotic.
I’m not saying it’s a miracle worker (because that’s not how this works), but it’s definitely one of my go-to tools for self-care. I made this video about it here.
I recommend getting the mini- it’s portable, easy to stash away, and also can work on your desk chair or throw it on your sofa for end-of-day-slouch-mode.
Check out this brief video tour of my BioMat and see all the reasons why I love it!
Pact
Pact is my go-to for organic cotton clothing, and I especially love their leggings (plastic-free ones are really hard to find) and underwear, but they also make organic bedding and towels (which do make for a nice gift too).
What I love most about Pact is that their goods are certified Fair Trade, made with organic cotton because we really need to stop with the idea that sweating in plastic fitness clothes is okay (especially the ones that are all up in our business). Let’s be honest, plastic is plastic, whether it has a fancy name and trademark or is greenwashed as ecological because it’s recycled.
Organic cotton just feeeeeeeels good.
If you’ve never tried Pact before, you can use code ‘MEGHANT15’ at checkout to save 15% on full-price apparel.
Blue Blocking Glasses: Swanwick
As an owner of an online business, it’s nearly impossible for me to avoid being in front of a screen and the exposure to blue light that comes with that.
There is some debate as to the effectiveness of blue light blocking glasses or goggles. Some small studies conclude that wearing blue light blocking glasses helps to filter out blue light, improve sleep quality and quantity, improve mood, prevent melatonin suppression, and reduce symptoms like headaches, dry eyes, and eyestrain. Other research reports that there isn’t sufficient evidence that blue light blocking glasses are effective at preventing insomnia or improving eye health.
I have a pair of blue light filtering glasses from Swanwick, but there are a lot of non-prescription and prescription options out there, so in my opinion they would be a good gift for those in your life who spend a lot of time in front of devices.
Aires EMF Protection
You’ve probably heard me talk about the importance of coherence and harmony in our energy fields, and so I wanted to share a tool that helps me stay aligned, even in the midst of all the electromagnetic chaos. I wear an Aires Tech device around my neck—a little pouch that helps neutralize EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) from things like Wi-Fi, 5G, and all the other tech we can’t avoid these days.
I’m not saying this is the only thing I rely on for my health, but it’s a key piece of the puzzle when I’m out in the world—whether I’m traveling, grocery shopping, or just in places where EMFs are everywhere. Aires Tech devices help create a more harmonious energy field around you, which supports your body’s ability to stay in balance.
The results? More energy, better sleep, and improved focus.

Tiny Ritual Candles and Incense
This small business specializes in beeswax candles and incense, though it also offers a few extra goodies like crystals and necklaces.
What I adore about Carlyn’s products is her focus on using the candles for ritual and intention-setting. I invited Carlyn to present a candle-making and intention-setting for a ‘Crafternoon’ session with my team, and she was chock-full of brilliant ideas for how to use candles mindfully to manifest your dreams and goals.
21-Day Embodiment Journey by Pause Breathwork
Looking for a meaningful gift that offers real transformation? The 21-Day Embodiment Journey from Pause Breathwork is a perfect choice. This program uses the healing power of breath to help release stress, unlock emotional blockages, and bring a deep sense of calm and clarity.
Normally priced at $497, the 21-Day Embodiment Journey is available to you for just $197 – that’s 60% off! It’s the perfect gift for anyone who could use a reset, some time to slow down, or a deeper connection to their mind and body.
Don’t miss this special offer – give (or receive!) this.
Elixir by Josh Gitalis
I am a huge fan of elixirs – I make them almost daily in my high-speed blender. Yes, I am a little biased because Josh is my husband. But also, I’m certain I would love this product no matter who made it!
This blend is incredibly tasty, sugar-free, packed with adaptogens and superfoods, and so easy to blend and use. This works in hot and cold elixirs, smoothies, homemade chocolates, nut/seed butters, and is a fantastic alternative to coffee too.
Rouge Red Light Therapy
One of the best investments that I’ve made within the last few years, was my Rouge Red Light Therapy. I use it daily to help regulate my circadian rhythm (hello sleep!), boost my immune system, and help get my hair and skin glowing.
It functions differently from a sauna for a few reasons, but generally a sauna is powerful by nature of it being a ‘stress’ on our body, where this feels like adding nourishment and relaxation. It offers a similar mood-boosting feeling as you get from laying out under the warm sun, an extra bonus in the darker, colder months of the year.
Yes, Red Light Therapy is a significant investment, but it makes an excellent gift for yourself or for a special loved one.

Jaspr Pro Air Purifier
It’s not just an air purifier that helps keep your indoor air quality safe. It’s a medical-grade air purifier that delivers the highest level of performance for the most affordable price. I have this one and love it.
Jaspr is offering $400 off with code MTBREATHE.
Check out all the cool features of the Jaspr and see why it’s the only air purifier that I use and trust.
Kooshoo
If you’re looking for the perfect sustainable gift that’s both practical and stylish, I can’t recommend Kooshoo scrunchies and hair ties enough! These little beauties are made from organic cotton and other eco-friendly materials, so not only are they gentle on your hair, but they’re also kind to the planet.
Unlike those traditional elastic hair ties that cause breakage and leave you with hair tie dents, Kooshoo scrunchies are soft, comfy, and won’t pull or damage your hair. Whether you’re at the gym, running errands, or just relaxing at home, they stay put without causing any discomfort. Plus, they come in gorgeous, timeless colors and patterns that will brighten up anyone’s hair routine.
When you choose Kooshoo, you’re also supporting ethical production practices, which is always a win in my book! These are the perfect little gift to show someone you care—about their hair, their well-being, and the Earth!

West Coast Seeds
If you’re looking to gift something that keeps on giving, West Coast Seeds is your go-to. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a newbie, their wide selection of organic seeds makes it easy to grow your own food at home. Imagine gifting a garden full of nutrient-dense, homegrown veggies and herbs—there’s really nothing better for your health or your soul!
West Coast Seeds offers everything from leafy greens to colorful flowers, all grown with sustainability and the planet in mind. The seeds are tried, tested, and sure to thrive in a variety of conditions, making them perfect for all types of gardeners.
Plus, growing your own food reduces your carbon footprint, supports biodiversity, and encourages a more self-sufficient lifestyle. It’s a beautiful, eco-friendly gift that nurtures not only your health, but also your connection to the Earth.

These are awesome gift ideas that keep giving. Thanks for the list. Seeing the unicorn squatty potty commercial reminds me to tell you that your unicorn that says “Flirt with famers” makes me smile every time! Why shouldn’t you have a unicorn dance across your website?! Happy Holidays and congratulations on another amazing year Meghan!
