Healthy Holiday Gifts and Stocking Stuffers

December 11, 2018 By Shelby Tatomir

Between all the cookies, candy canes, and cocktails, healthy Christmas gifts are a welcome addition under anyone’s tree. Give your friends and family the gift of health with these healthy Christmas presents for all ages—perfect for a fit and festive holiday!

Trendy Trackers

From kids to grandparents, there’s a fitness tracker for every age! Wearable fitness devices can count steps, heart rates—even bedtimes!

Holiday Hydration

Water consumption is key to oral and overall health. Give the gift of H2O so your friends and family can stay hydrated.

  • Smart water bottle: This gadget tracks hydration levels with a sensor and smartphone app. If you need to chug more H2O, the bottle will glow, encouraging more hydration throughout the day.
  • Stylish Teapot: For tea lovers, a stylish teapot is a great option. Green tea promotes healthy teeth and gums from the abundance of antioxidants.

Stocking Stuffer Staples 

Items like toothbrushes and floss might seem boring, but innovative toothbrush subscription services can make your friends’ and family’s lives easier and their mouths healthier. 

  • Smart Toothbrush: Smart toothbrushes that have a virtual brain are getting more popular these days. Some feature 30-second pulses to ensure you’re brushing for 2 minutes. Some include a toothbrush subscription service that replaces your toothbrush head every 3 months.
  • Floss: Pick a traditional minty flavor or go for something more extreme, like cupcake-flavored floss or even bubblegum. There’s even floss for your fancy friends that prefer whitening or soothing properties.
  • Mistletoe Mouth: Give your significant other a minty mouth with items like gum (look for one that contains xylitol), lip balm, or sugar-free mints. Some brands even release limited-edition flavors specifically for the holidays.

Now you’re ready to enjoy a holiday stuffed with smiles and a healthy year ahead. Don’t forget to keep your spot on Santa’s nice list by taking care of your teeth!
