Health & Wellness Inspired Gift Guide

When they said 'it's the most wonderful time of the year', they weren't lying. Sure Christmas decorations are out in shops the week after Easter, and I start listening to Christmas carols earlier than it's socially acceptable (do I even stop?) but the month of December has a special little buzz about it which I love.

I love Christmas for the nights after a big lunch when we sit down and play board games as a family. I love it for the Christmas Eve's when we'd drive around the neighbourhood to see all the houses decorated in lights. I love it for the food, laughter and memories with my beautiful family.

With two weeks to go until Santa's arrival and my love of this time of year, you'd think that I'd be wrapping the last of my presents and putting them under the Christmas tree while sipping my hot chocolate and listing to Christmas carols, wouldn't you? Well you'd be right about one thing - '...Dashing through the snow, on a one horse open sleigh, o'er the fields we go, laughing all the way... ' - but I'm not wrapping presents or drinking hot chocolate.

So if you're still looking to finalise, or in my case, start your present shopping, or you need to provide some ideas of what your family and friends can get you, I've put together some of my favourite ideas to do with health, wellness and spiritual growth.
