9 Wellness Gift Ideas from Oprah’s Favorite Things

Recent research shows that warm baths can improve sleep quality and reduce stress. Sprinkle these salts into water and you’ll be able to add “causing feelings of bliss” to that list. Made with a blend of Epsom and mineral sea salts as well as Brazilian white clay, they help soothe sore muscles and calm irritated skin. Add aromatherapy via the gentle, earthy wood notes of Breu Branco resin and you’ve got a sure-fire recipe for relaxation. And once the salts are gone, the silver canister they came in makes a chic catchall for hair ties, jewelry, or other odds and ends.

This silk eye pillow is one dreamy gift. Studies have shown that by blocking out ambient light, eye masks can help the body produce more slumber-inducing melatonin, making it easier for the wearer to fall and stay asleep. This one is made from pure silk so it’s gentle on delicate eye-area skin, plus the lining is scented with lavender to help promote relaxation. (A soothing eye gel mask that can be chilled in the fridge is also included and can easily slipped inside.) Available in five colors, it’s made by a business owned by women—including tennis pro Venus Williams, who knows a few things about dreams coming true.

The holidays are definitely a season of indulgent beverages, from pumpkin spice lattes and eggnog to champagne. That’s why this latte kit makes such a smart gift: The two flavor options—chai and Sleeptime—taste indulgent. Each sip is filled with good-for-you ingredients, including adaptogens, like ashwagandha, which are thought to support the body’s response to stress and anxiety; reishi mushrooms, which are said to reduce fatigue; and probiotics, which have been proven to aid digestion and improve gut health.

The ideal gift for any grown-up kids in your life who still won’t eat their greens, this peach tea-flavored tablet, when dropped in a glass of water, creates a fizzy beverage that tastes fruity and fresh. But—and here’s the genius part—it contains as much vitamin C as six oranges, as much zinc as three cups of peas, and as much vitamin B5 as 15 cups of broccoli. The set also comes with peach-flavored gummies for those who want to grab their daily dose of nutrients on the go.

Modern scientists keep proving what those living in the Mediterranean have known for millennia: Olive oil is good for you. Earlier this year a new study linked olive oil consumption to living a longer, healthier life (the scientists believe the oil’s high concentration of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties play a role in protecting our health). Brightland puts a twist on traditional olive oil by infusing it with herbs and spices like basil and red chili flakes. Making it even more special, they seal it in chic bottles wrapped in whimsical labels designed by contemporary artists. Now you’ve found a solution for any friends on a health kick, gourmets, or art lovers on your list.

Wellness and self-care is as much about nourishing our minds and spirits as our physical bodies. One generous way to support your friends this season is to give a gift that encourages them to be their best selves; these limited-edition daily inspiration cards will do just that. The beautifully packaged set holds 365 cards that contain a mix of inspirational quotes, prompts, and meditation exercises that will encourage loved ones to pause, reflect, and connect—and live each day with intention.

Words are powerful. It’s easy to think about what we want, and to speak it out loud, but writing something down? That’s a real commitment to oneself, and by giving this journal to someone on your list, you’re inviting them to invest in their own hopes and dreams. Recent research points to journaling as a tool that can help us boost our mood, improve our thinking, reduce stress, and help us set—and achieve—goals. Blank pages can sometimes feel intimidating, so we made sure this journal comes with a little bit of guidance to help both the more experienced and first-time journal keepers get started.

The skin is the body’s largest organ, and it’s one that’s sometimes neglected when things get hectic. This body butter smooths and hydrates skin with ultra-nourishing royal jelly, and includes aromatherapeutic natural ingredients like lavender, lemongrass, and spearmint to help relax and reinvigorate users. It’s made by Savannah Bee Company, which has a mission of protecting bee populations worldwide. Give it to the queen bee in your life to remind her that just a few minutes of pampering each day can make a world of difference.

Green tea is a great way to recharge in the morning (or afternoon!) while reaping the numerous health benefits it can provide. It contains high levels of antioxidants, which fight off cell-damaging free radicals, and studies suggest it can help protect us from Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and diabetes while also helping to boost concentration and possibly weight loss. We love that this set takes the guesswork out of measuring loose-leaf tea without adding the environmental waste of a tea bag. Instead, the tea leaves are packed into individual disks; all they need to do is drop one into the infuser, add hot water, and in a matter of minutes, they’ll be sitting back with a perfect hot brew. And for those who want to avoid caffeine, included is a tantalizing herbal mix made with honeybush, chicory root, peppermint, and a hint of natural chocolate flavoring.
