We’ve all got that friend, you know the one who orders hot water and lemon, has to have their celery juice every damn day, and just can’t live without Ashwaganda in their smoothie. It’s safe to say they’re alkalized af (maybe too much, and yes, that’s a thing), but there’s probably a few things missing from their wellness journey you’ll want to consider for the holidays. Whether they’re newly obsessed with wellness or not, we’ve rounded up some of the best gifts for the health junkie this holiday.
Moon Juice Cosmic Cocoa, $30 USD
We all know the antioxidant power of cacao but what if your hot cocoa could really take your mood to the next level? Enter Moon Juice’s all new Cosmic Cocoa which is all at once nourishing, decadent and arousing. Made with heirloom cacao, their signature Sex Dust and Spirit Dust, which contain mood and vibe boosting adaptogens, plus Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Reishi, as well as creamy Tocos. It’s the perfect stocking stuffer too!
[ad] Reebok PureMove Bra, $70

Whether your holiday list includes your sister who needs a bit of extra motivation to get to the gym or your best bud who wears sports bras more often than her lacy underwire, this is the essential bra of the year, offering luxury and practicality in one pop.
