There’s a lot here for all ages and genders, so happy shopping!
If you would like to gift a loved one with some insight a.k.a- a session with me, you can purchase gift certificates here.
As for the gift guide, I hope you find a few things in here that spark your interest and remember: I won’t endorse anything unless I’ve tried/experienced it myself.
*I do not have any affiliations with anyone or any of these products, FYI. I just love to share what I find helpful and useful. Some of these listed below are on here from last year, but there are many new items added as well.
For those that might not know, I am very big on health on every level. This gift guide will include a little bit of everything from what we put on our body, into our body, to what we feed our mind, etc.
Mind, body, spirit: here is a guide for the spiritual seeker in your life, which by the way is all of us!

Tributes To Our Loved Ones In Spirit/Remembrance
Holiday season is the hardest when it comes to grieving our loved ones. Although they are no longer physically with us, they are still here in spirit. These tokens of love can be gifted to others, or purchased for yourself.
Fur-babies are family, and when they leave this earth physically the mark they leave on our soul cannot be replaced. These ornaments are a beautiful keepsake from a seller on Etsy.
Personalized Pet Memorial Ornaments
How about any picture that you love, becomes a portrait that is very special? Check out this site.
Relaxation & Self-Care
These are worth the $ and if you are on the fence….you can sit, recline and even sleep in these! *Children & young adults seem to love these. Think: video games & movie night.
Speaking of movie night, how about some popcorn a-la, a little lighter where you control the amount of ‘extra’s that go in. Even better, it’s quick and everyone loves to watch it work!
Am I inspiring you to make a ‘movie night’ gift set yet? Blankets are a must for movie night! How about a personalized one.
My bestie gave me this blanket from Pottery Barn as a gift a few years back, and it is still my favorite!
Skin Care & Wellness
One of my favorites, cool to the touch, soothing and meditative this eye mask has it all.
Below are some of my secret beauty weapons for lymphatic drainage, de-puffing and evening out the skin.
Steaming is extremely beneficial for the skin, and relaxing. I love to listen to podcasts and zone out while it works its magic. PS- this website has a lot of great items, and the customer service is fantastic. I recently discovered their make-up brushes which are honestly, the best I have ever found especially for those with sensitive skin.
Speaking of skin, these lotions and soaps are amazing. Made from Goat’s Milk, they leave your skin amazingly soft. Be sure to check out their gift baskets!
For Some Basic Zen
Ionize and cleanse your space, all while adding a pretty glow and warmth. *There are many benefits to salt lamps, I won’t list them all here.
Incense is very calming and cleansing…plus it smells great! This incense holder is one of my faves (and believe me, I have many)!
Do you burn sage? Here’s a good place to start, with reasons and benefits to working with sage.
A Post I wrote The Benefits And Uses Of Sage
Meditation & Anxiety Assistance
Do you have trouble quieting your mind enough to meditate? Don’t worry, this Guided Breathing Buddha has got you covered! This is great for little ones and young adults as well.
Iβm sure someone on your list could really use some quiet time! Meditation, even five minutes a day is super beneficial for the mind, body and soul. It helps bring clarity, supports decision making, and grounds you either before or after a long day. Most important, it assists with easing anxiety.
Steel Tong Drum For Adults & Children
As a form of therapy for myself, I discovered Drumming circles years ago and became hooked. There is something very cathartic and releasing about the vibrations of the drums. Sound healing is an absolute amazing healing modality for adults, children and animals. It does not take much to learn this little drum!
If you need more reassurance before purchasing, recent research indicates that drumming accelerates physical healing, boosts the immune system, and assists in releasing emotional trauma. Drumming has a positive effect on anxiety, grief, fatigue, depression and behavioral issues.
These necklaces really do help! Breathing consciously is what calms our nervous system.
Personalized Coloring Posters * For adults and children, especially
Diffusing essential oils can be particularly calming for our senses, but did you know that not just any scent will work? There are specific scents that are proven to re-wire our brain chemistry( if only temporarily), to help ease stress and anxiety.
Here are two very good diffusers to get you started, different price ranges
Best Oils For Anxiety *You can always just diffuse what you like, but here are some suggestions of what I find to work best.
Teas For Relaxation
An alarm clock that helps us to fall asleep and wake-up relaxed? We can meditate before we go to sleep and wake up feeling more rested? Yes please! I love my Loftie. Check it out!
Resources For Soul-Searching & Healing
Resilience, mental toughness, facing times of adversity…this book has it all
A beautiful book on past lives, and journeying into the soul with real case studies.
For Deeper Self-Analysis And ‘Shadow Work’/ Healing
Bringing Your Shadow Out Of The Dark
Daily Mantras/Affirmations and Journal Prompts For Progress
I am sure you have heard about grounding or earthing. I talk about this often, and it is a daily routine for me. Grounding does just what it sounds like: it connects you to the earth, grounding you and bringing you back into your body.
While grounding outside in the actual earth is ideal, (and I highly recommend it) realistically, it’s easier to use a grounding pad. There are plenty of options out there, and some you can even sleep with.
Crystals/Healing Stones
I could NOT actually leave out one of my favorite things in the world…Crystal Healing/Jewelry! If you know me, you know I love my stones.
Quality, authenticity, beautiful accessory pieces and healing….most importantly, made with love and we need to support our small businesses.
Tip : be sure to take note and look up the meanings of the stones AFTER you choose for even more insight! You will find that the stones choose you π.
*Update: I love Katia’s Jewelry so much and many ask about it, that since last year I have become a part of her referral program. Please be sure to use my 10% discount code at checkout. The code is KARM10. Happy shopping!
