Need gift ideas for someone in your life who is interested in anything health, fitness or self improvement?
Here are 10 gift ideas that will make someone’s life better.
–
1 ) Active experience vouchers
Let’s face it, most of us have more than enough STUFF. Give the gift presence instead of presents.
- Yoga classes
- Fitness class vouchers
- High ropes adventure – like this one at Taronga Zoo
- Harbour Bridge climb
- Kayaking
- Personal training session(s)
- Massage / pampering
–
2 ) Books
Do you have a friend who loves to read? My favourite fitness / improvement books are…
- Fast Exercise – Michael Mosely – – I love the simple way he gets his message across. This book contained many of the messages about exercise that I bang on about often.
- The Willpower instinct – Kelly McGonical – – How to get more self control. Who couldn’t use more of that?
- No Sweat – Michelle Segar – – The simple science of motivation. My favourite book from 2016. So many take aways, but the best motivational tip was this one … Focus on a TODAY benefit, not a future benefit. I will exercise because I feel more energised and less stressed TODAY, not because I want to achieve a health or aesthetic goal sometime in the distant future.
- The happiness trap – Dr Russ Harris.

3) Courses / workshops
There is nothing more important than investing in and improving yourself. I highly recommend my online coaching programs, you can check them out HERE. (Shameless plug)
Buy it for yourself, or for a friend who would appreciate it.

4) Magazine subscriptions
Subscription gifts are the gift that keeps on giving . Your gift recipient will feel the love every month when they receive their magazine.
My personal favourite healthy magazine is the Australian Healthy food guide

5) Inspirational jewellery
Jewellery with a reminder of your wishes and goals
–
6) Planners / diaries / journals
Kikki K has some beautiful designs, but I believe you cant go past Kmart for great value.

7) Food delivery service
Another subscription gift that keeps on giving. Perfect for anyone who has ever asked the question “What’s for dinner?”
Hello fresh – is a service that sends you new recipes and all the ingredients to cook your own tasty, healthy meals each week or each fortnight.
I trialled this service out recently and LOVED it. Healthy recipes, all ingredients provided in the correct amounts (no wastage), new fresh ideas each week, simple, foolproof (important for a non-cook like me) and SO TASTY.

Design and print out your own cute little voucher with a promise to meet up X times per week for a walk or a workout.
You BOTH benefit and it doesn’t cost a cent.
WIN WIN !!

9) Shakti mat
An acupressure mat to relax tension, ease you into sleep and relieve upper and lower back pain. I have ordered these for 2 of my loved ones, but sshhhhh don’t tell them.

10) Activity trackers
Activity trackers can provide a reminder to get up and move more each day which most of us can benefit from. Just remember that they are a tool to measure your progress, not a solution in themselves.
They have come a long way in design recently, becoming a fashion accessory as well as a tracking tool.
- Bella beat
- Michael Kors have a stunning range
- Oura ring
