Have you found yourself overwhelmed by what to give your friends and family for the holidays? Not to worry, we’ve gathered our top 5 meaningful gift ideas that will support the health and wellbeing of those you love.
One of our favorite ways to give during the holidays is to honor a loved one by donating to a non-profit they are passionate about. If you’re looking for a local organization supporting women’s health, The Charlotte Maxell Clinic, providing integrative cancer care for low-income, underserved Bay Area women with cancer, is our top recommendation.
The new book by James Beard Award-winning author Amy Chaplin, Whole Food Cooking Every Day: Transform the Way You Eat with 250 Vegetarian Recipes Free of Gluten, Dairy and Refined Sugar, is high on our list. Named one of the best cookbooks to give as gifts in 2019 by the New York Times, Washington Post and Bon Appetit and one of the best healthy cookbooks of 2019 by Forbes, this inspiring book is the perfect companion for anyone interested in a creative and practical guide for healthy eating/living.
If you haven’t yet tried the handcrafted botanical infusions and premium small batched teas from Leaves and Flowers, it’s time you join the party. This local woman-owned company makes gorgeous + delicious blends including one of our favorites, Sleep Tea, formulated with chamomile, skullcap, California poppy, catnip, chrysanthemum and lavender to soothe the nervous system and support an easeful state of mind and body.
If you’ve been into the clinic recently, you may have noticed the beautiful jade rollers we carry at the front desk. These tools have been used in beauty rituals for centuries and are known for improving circulation and lymphatic drainage in the face and neck which can reduce headaches and TMJ, ease sinus congestion and eliminate puffiness. Give the gift of glow with this sweet self-care ritual.
Do you know someone that could use a little extra TLC? Or someone that spends so much time giving to others that they forget to fill their own cup? A gift certificate to Double Happiness for a massage or initial consult with one of our acupuncturists might be just what they need. Give us a call, send an email or stop by the clinic and we’ll put together the perfect treatment unique to them.
Wishing you mountains of love this holiday season from all of us at Double Happiness Health!
