When my husband and I met we were both in our 40’s and each had a house full of furniture. We had enough “stuff”. Our presents to each other are usually “experiences” rather than more “stuff”. For example, a sunset boat cruise with dinner, a weekend away, or a fishing charter trip. One of my favourite gifts was a day at a spa for pampering. We’ve also bought each other concert and theater tickets, a snorkeling trip and a whale watching boat cruise. At the top of my wish list this year is a gift voucher for massages which I have regularly for my back pain. The gift of quality time together is priceless to me, as our time together is limited by our work hours – my husband regularly works away from home, and I do shift work. Having said that, it is still nice to receive a gift sometimes and why not give someone a gift that can inspire a healthy lifestyle. Here are some ideas for gifts for your loved ones.

• FITNESS AND WELLBEING:
• gift certificate for massages
• sports shoes
• exercise equipment e.g. hand weights
• Hamper with beauty products, (ensure the moisturiser is sun friendly).
• yoga mat
• fitness tracker e.g. Fitbit
• Air purifier
• Workout gear and Sportswear: You feel better working out in comfortable clothes so a voucher to a sportswear shop like Lorna Jane, Nike or Rebel Sport allows them to buy workout gear that fits properly.
• 10 visit pass for a gym
• water filter

• SUMMER GIFTS:
• pool toys e.g. beach ball,
• beach games e.g. Volleyball,

• FOR ADVENTURE LOVERS AND ADRENALINE JUNKIES:
