Best Healthy Gifts for Her Body

leggings for outdoors

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

$7.99 at Amazon
Reflexology is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine that uses pressure points across the hands and feet that correspond to different parts of the body. Rubbing the pressure points is supposed to help unblock qi, or energy flow, in the related organ. This pair of socks maps the various pressure points on feet and comes with two massage tools. Of course, a pair of socks isn’t going to turn you into a reflexologist, but it’s a fun twist on giving a foot massage as a gift.

Wholesome Hippy Calm Cream

$34.99 at Amazon
The key to Wholesome Hippy Calm Cream is magnesium, which just might be the supplement she doesn’t know she needs. Magnesium helps regulate blood pressure, keeps bones strong, and helps keep your heartbeat steady.

It’s also a great supplement for sleep, making it the ultimate addition to a bedtime routine.

We love that this cream contains D3, turmeric, and shea butter — all of which help nourish and protect skin — as well as arnica, which helps reduce inflammation. Even better, it’s available in five varieties: for pain relief (our favorite), sleep (with melatonin), and focus, plus lavender and unscented.

Lifepro Chi Machine Lymphatic Massager

$113.09 at Amazon
$139.99Now 19% Off

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.

Vibration of the type created by this Lifepro machine can help women maintain bone density.

In the first six years following menopause, the rate of bone density loss can jump up to 10 times, which can contribute to broken hips and legs. Using a machine like this regularly may provide the vibration needed to help keep bones strong, although there are no studies to back this particular device. But this machine is proven to reduce swelling of the legs — good news for anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet.

posture correcting sports bra on model

The Forme Posture Bra

Taylor Swift, who does indeed have excellent posture, helped launch this bra into popularity after she was photographed wearing it while practicing choreography for her Eras tour. It works by pulling your shoulders back and creating tension across your back if you slouch. Aside from helping you look your best, proper posture can help alleviate back and neck pain and encourage proper form in all areas of life, whether you’re sitting at a desk or doing some heavy lifting.

 We like the stylish cut of this bra with its wide straps and thick bottom band, it almost ventures into crop-top territory, making it a great on-trend addition to any athleisure wardrobe. It’s available in sizes XS to 3XL, and in six different colors.

Comfier Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager

$193.99 at Amazon
$219.99Now 12% Off

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.”

electric muscle massager

Chirp Halo Wireless Muscle Stim Device (TENS Unit)

A TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) device can deliver pain relief by applying electrical currents directly to the skin through small sticky pads.

 TENS units may be highly effective for menstrual pain.

 According to Harold Roher, a doctor of chiropractic, TENS devices are “a safe, effective, drug-free, and surgery-free treatment for pain.”

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.

Best Healthy Gifts for Her Mind

FLARE Calmer Ear Plugs

$23.95 at Amazon
$27.95Now 14% Off
If she gets easily overstimulated by noise but doesn’t like noise-canceling earbuds, FLARE’s Clamer Ear Plugs are the perfect solution. They help reduce noise-related stress and sensory sensitivity without blocking out sounds (so she can wear them while the kids are playing with a noisy toy, and still be able to have a conversation with you). These earplugs are available in four colors, and made with soft silicone that’s gentle on the ears and easy to clean. As for sizing, FLARE says the product’s standard size will fit 90 percent of people.

Bob Ross Color-by-Number Coloring Book

$17.10 at Amazon
Gifts that allow for creative expression can provide art therapy, which is a great way to reduce stress and anxiety, and can even significantly help alleviate trauma symptoms.

“Adult coloring books featuring intricate designs or nature-inspired themes offer a calming, meditative activity that can quiet anxious thoughts while inspiring creativity,” says therapist Keona Serrano, LCSW. And what better coloring book than one from the original king of art therapy, Bob Ross? This coloring book includes a color key foldout and 90 landscape pictures taken straight from Ross’s original show, The Joy of Painting.

Forensi Meditation Cushion

$54.99 at Amazon

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.

Easy-to-Use-Meditation-Apps-to-Help-You-Achieve-Zen-Calm-722x406

Calm Meditation App

$15 per month, or $70 annually

Whether she’s a beginner or an expert at meditation, the Calm app can help strengthen any practice. This app offers guided meditations, chimes (which can be set on a customizable timer system), and a variety of relaxing white noises like falling rain and crashing waves. Meditation is proven to have strong positive effects on emotionality and relationship issues, and can also help increase attention span.

Olivine Atelier Wolf Moon Perfume

$70 at Amazon

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

$29.99 at Amazon

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.

Fmty Singing Bowls

$169.99 at Amazon
Singing bowls offer sound healing, which is the practice of using music, singing, chanting, speaking, or sound vibrations to heal pain and illnesses. It’s been practiced for thousands of years in alternative medicine, and a study published in 2020 on singing bowls found improvements in distress, positive and negative affect, anxiety, depression, fatigue, tension, anger, confusion, and vigor, as well as improvements in blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, cutaneous conductance, and anterior-frontal alpha values.

 Given their potential health benefits, singing bowls would be an incredible gift. We particularly like this set, which is available with three or seven bowls, and includes a compact padded bag for storage.

Best Healthy Gifts for Her Home

Cooking pot with lid and wooden spoon

Our Place The Perfect Pot Set

Typically, kitchenware isn’t a recommended Valentine’s Day gift, but if she’s someone who loves to cook, the Perfect Pot Set by Our Place is definitely worth giving. The pot and lid are made with a nontoxic, nonstick ceramic coating that’s free of forever chemicals, lead, toxic metals, and more (plus, the set includes a beechwood spoon that’s equally safe). The pot heats quickly and evenly and is perfect for baking, roasting, steaming, crisping, and braising. The lid is designed to either lock in or release steam, and it’s designed to either strain or pour from. Basically, this thing does it all — and its stylish design and colorful options mean it looks good while doing it.

Joyce Chen 11-Piece Bamboo Utensil Set

$39.99 at Amazon
$45.95Now 13% Off

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

Soda Stream Terra

$59.99 at Target
$99.99Now 40% Off

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.

Nest Bedding Weighted Blanket

$149.60 at Nest Bedding
$187Now 20% Off
Weighted blankets might be the best single item to improve a living room. They are scientifically shown to reduce anxiety, possibly by helping the body produce more oxytocin and melatonin.

There are plenty of options to choose from, but we particularly like Nest Bedding’s weighted blanket. Its two-tone bamboo cover is both stylish and soft to the touch, and it’s filled with glass beads, which are texturally pleasing and environmentally friendly. This blanket is available in 15 pounds, 18 pounds, and 21 pounds.

Bettken Sensory Swing

$40.48 at Amazon
While sensory swings are often advertised for kids, the gentle rocking they provide is proven to reduce anxiety, no matter how old you are.

 Rocking also helps adults sleep better and longer, and fall asleep faster.

Plus, a sensory swing can provide a cozy place to read, relax, or nap.

Best Healthy Gifts for Her Jewelry Collection

oura ring 4

Oura Ring 4

$349 at Amazon

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

$24.99 at Amazon
This set of three copper bangles is affordable and available in a variety of styles and designs. The practice of wearing copper jewelry to help with musculoskeletal disorders (like arthritis or other kinds of joint pain) dates back to ancient Egypt.

That said, the tiny amount of copper that could be absorbed from a bracelet is unlikely to make a difference, and modern science chalks up the practice to the placebo effect. But when you’re talking about timeless fashion, you can’t really beat a trend that's over 3,500 years old and still in style. Copper bracelets are a beautiful way to say you care about someone’s health, and besides, the placebo effect is real.

brown puff mittens

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.

silver heart-shaped fidget necklace

Stimm Calming Heart Necklace

A favorite piece of jewelry can often be a source of comfort — quite literally something to hold on to when times get tough. Stimm specializes in creating jewelry for this exact purpose. All its pieces are designed to be held, touched, listened to, and even smelled. Created by a dad and his daughter to help cope with her anxiety and mysophobia, our favorite piece from their collection is the Calming Heart Necklace which lets out a soft musical chime when shaken. Stimm claims the necklace gives the wearer something soothing to touch and hear when the world becomes overwhelming.
gold fidget ring with quartz stone

CONQUERing Gold AlaDune Oval Crystal Fidget Ring

Does your Valentine pick at her cuticles or blemishes, pull out her hair, or chew her lip? Skin picking, or dermatillomania, is a common symptom of anxiety or OCD. While fidget jewelry, like CONQUERing’s Gold AlaDune Oval Crystal Fidget Ring, is not a treatment, it can be a useful tool in helping someone redirect their attention and keep their hands busy. We love the design of this ring and appreciate the several crystal spinner options — especially since they’re interchangeable.

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!)

Common Questions & Answers

What kind of health-focused gift should I get her?
A good gift is always tailored to the recipient. We’ve designed our guide to cater to specific issues, so we suggest starting your search by thinking about what health-related issues she faces regularly. Does she have chronic PMS or menstrual pain? Trouble sleeping? A job that requires sitting long hours? Social anxiety? Use this information to help you find a gift that’s specific to her.
Of course. Ideally, health should be about maintenance, not reaching a goal. Many of the gifts in this guide are for staying healthy, such as developing a meditation or yoga practice or creating a welcoming physical space that invites good health. If she’s already into personal health, think about what makes her excited and go from there.
We’ve made sure to leave the stereotypical “healthy gift” traps out of this guide, such as weight loss and beauty products. Instead, our gift suggestions focus on universal aspects of health, without any self-improvement items that could potentially be taken the wrong way.
