Best Healthy Gifts for Her Body

Offline by Aerie The Hugger Cross-Back Legging
They're comfy, stylish, and perfect for working out or just working from home — we love the Hugger Cross-Back Leggings from Aerie. They offer medium compression support, four-way stretch, and a mid-weight, breathable fabric that’s perfect for the months ahead. These leggings feature a high-waist front panel with an X-shaped back to give them a unique look that’s functional and flattering.
With five colors to choose from, you’re sure to find one that will suit your Valentine’s style. In fact, Aerie offers a variety of tops in these colors too, in case you want to give her a whole workout set instead. These leggings are available in sizes XXS to XXL and in short, regular, and long lengths.

Reflexology Socks With Massage Tool

Wholesome Hippy Calm Cream

Lifepro Chi Machine Lymphatic Massager
This simple machine gently shakes your whole body from the ankles up. Chimene Montivero-Cole, a physical therapist and certified Pilates instructor, has one in her studio, and it gets a lot of use. According to Montivero-Cole, the machine not only provides stress reduction, it also improves blood flow, which increases oxygen and reduces swelling and inflammation. “If muscles or tissues aren’t getting the oxygen they need, they cry out in pain,” Montivero-Cole explains.

The Forme Posture Bra

Comfier Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager
Make that home office a little less blah and a little more spa with an at-home massage. There are plenty of models available, but we particularly love the Comfier Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager, which fits over most office chairs and plugs directly into the wall. It features several massage settings as well as a heat function for extra relaxation. “The benefits of massage and acupressure are plentiful,” says Melanie Wilkinson, a licensed associate counselor, practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and licensed acupuncturist. “Neck and back pain are some of the main concerns I treat in my patients. Devices like this are great because the user can adjust the intensity to what is most beneficial to them.”

Chirp Halo Wireless Muscle Stim Device (TENS Unit)
We really like Chirp’s Halo Wireless Muscle Stim Device because it’s easy to use, without a jumble of wires connecting the device to the sticky pads. It’s even controllable through your phone.

FLARE Calmer Ear Plugs

Bob Ross Color-by-Number Coloring Book

Forensi Meditation Cushion
Sitting cross-legged is an essential part of both yoga and meditation, but it can get pretty uncomfortable after a few minutes. Many practitioners modify the pose by sitting on a pillow like this Forensi cushion, which eases the strain on knees, hips, and feet, and tilts the pelvis forward, making it more comfortable to sit for extended periods while keeping your spine erect and aligned. This pillow is super plush, has a handle for easy transport, has a machine-washable cover, and is available in several colors.

Calm Meditation App
$15 per month, or $70 annually

Olivine Atelier Wolf Moon Perfume
All 13 scents in the moons collection smell incredible, but we especially love Wolf Moon, a romantic mix of amber and vanilla oils. Rather than being tools for attraction, the moons scents serve the person wearing them. The wearer is invited to set an intention with their bottle, then from the very first spray forward, there is a connection between the scent and the intention — transforming perfume into an inspirational tool.

Therapy Notebooks Build-a-Habit Guide
Journaling is recommended by many therapists as a tool in creating cognitive change — you’ll notice any major online therapy app comes with a “journal” feature. Therapy Notebooks’ Build-a-Habit guide, which is backed by peer-reviewed research, offers a step-by-step guided program for creating a habit plan. Once the plan is created, the journal has daily and weekly check-ins for reflecting on what is (or isn’t) working in sticking with this habit.

Our Place The Perfect Pot Set

Joyce Chen 11-Piece Bamboo Utensil Set
In recent months, we’ve been told to throw out black spatulas because of the potentially high levels of toxic chemicals they might leach into home-cooked food. Keep the kitchen safe with bamboo tools instead. We like this Joyce Chen 11-piece set because its cooking and serving utensils are strong, stylish, and sustainable. It includes mixing spoons, a rice paddle, spatulas, tongs, and more.

Soda Stream Terra
Bottled sparkling water — even the stuff in glass — is another big player in the toxic kitchen lineup. Many of the most popular sparkling water brands are rife with PFAS, or “forever chemicals” that take over a hundred years to break down and have been linked to cancer, auto-immune diseases, and other health issues. To avoid PFAS, choose water that’s never been bottled, that is to say your own filtered tap water. This Soda Stream Terra starter kit has everything needed to carbonate your tap water. It includes the soda machine itself, as well as one CO2 cartridge (exchangeable at many retailers or by mail), and one refillable bottle.

Best Healthy Gifts for Her Jewelry Collection

Oura Ring 4
If she loves the idea of a smartwatch or health tracker but isn’t too keen on bulky wrist jewelry, consider giving her the Oura Ring 4. Available in six stylish finishes, this little gadget tracks everything from her sleep to activity levels to stress to heart health to her menstrual cycle — and it can even detect when she’s getting sick. It has a waterproof design and a rechargeable battery that can last for up to eight days. The only tricky thing is getting the size right (available in sizes 4 through 15), but there is an Oura Ring 4 sizing kit available if you need some help.

Coppervast Copper Bracelets

Wunder Puff Mittens
Give the gift of warm hands. These mittens will make anyone feel like a kid again and are the perfect gift for any woman who plans on spending time outdoors this winter, even if it’s just long walks. Available in three sizes, these mittens are water-resistant and insulated with goose down. With silicone to help your grip and an opening for when you need your fingers, these mittens are both stylish and functional.

How We Tested the Gifts
For this gift guide, we included items that we are personally familiar with and could recommend on the basis of regular use. Many of the products were initially recommended to us by healthcare professionals, including chiropractors, masseuses, physical therapists, and mental health therapists.
We aimed for a balance of well-loved staples and niche but thoroughly vetted products you might never have heard of. Some of our gifts utilize therapeutic techniques with scientifically proven health benefits; others are not scientifically proven but draw on alternative medicine practices that societies have relied on for thousands of years.
All gift ideas were selected by women who recommend them personally, and they all pass the vibe check for considerate, thoughtful gifts that can’t be taken the wrong way. (Exercise, diet, beauty, cleaning? Nope, let her buy those herself!)
