Only a few days left before the holidays. If you’re looking for a wellness gift to tuck into a Christmas stocking or a thoughtful gesture for a hostess, why not choose practical, ethical, and environmentally friendly options this year? All of our favorites come from Canadian companies, are cruelty-free, and packaged in recyclable materials. From skincare to beauty essentials, each suggestion offers a moment of indulgence while supporting brands that share your values.
For the Zen Friend Who Lives by Yoga
Tridosha Massage Oil is made from cold-pressed sesame oil and herbs with harmonizing properties such as Kushta, Sandalwood, and Triphala. This blend balances the three doshas and works in every season. It creates a soothing ritual that encourages relaxation and mindfulness, perfect for a friend who enjoys taking care of herself.
For Grandma, From Beach to Mountain
Jojoba Oil, known as the “Desert Gold,” has exceptional hydrating and protective properties. It forms a non-greasy protective layer that shields the skin after from sun exposure, soothes sensitive skin after outdoor activities, and provides lasting hydration after swimming or for silky-smooth legs. An ideal gift to slip into her suitcase for all her adventures.
For the Hockey or Sports Bag
Miviton V is a natural tonic that supports endurance and recovery. Eleuthero helps increase physical resistance during exercise, while suma provides a quick, noticeable energizing effect in the hours and days following use. Versatile and effective, it’s a natural alternative to energy drinks, perfect for athletes.
For an Expecting or New Mom
The Balancing Baby Oil is designed to support the well-being of little ones in their earliest years. Inspired by Ayurveda, which recommends daily application of oil over the whole body to calm and comfort the baby, it soothes restlessness, nourishes and protects delicate skin, and helps strengthen the developing nervous system. A gentle and practical gift for those first precious months.
For the Teen in the House
A simple way to support healthy, balanced skin. NENA’s Glacial Ocean Clay Mask deeply purifies the skin with over 99% pure glacial clay rich in minerals, while the cleansing cream removes impurities without drying out the skin.
Blumiral’s Elixir, made with hypochlorous acid (HOCl), perfectly complements this routine. It helps purify, soothe, and protect the skin while supporting its natural balance. Its benefits go beyond simple hydration: HOCl helps reduce inflammation, supports the skin’s natural defense mechanisms, calm redness, soothes irritation, and promotes a clearer, healthier complexion.
Versatile, it can be used after cleansing, after sports, or anytime during the day. The Blumiral collection also includes a cleanser, antioxidant cream, and clarifying serum for a complete and effective skincare routine.
Treat someone to a moment of radiance and luxury with high-quality skincare. The Theda X NENA Facial Serum, presented in a stunning forest green glass bottle, captivates with its creamy, silky texture that absorbs gently into the skin. Inspired by Indigenous ancestral wisdom and the Canadian landscape, it brightens the complexion, deeply hydrates, and improves skin elasticity with natural ingredients like West Coast cedar, sage and Bakuchiol.
The NENA Facial Oil completes this beauty ritual by providing rich hydration and a luminous glow. Bakuchiol, a gentle alternative to retinol, smooths fine lines without irritation, while Olus, sunflower, and sweet almond oils leave a silky, balanced finish. Together, these products form an ideal duo to maintain youthful, supple, and radiant skin throughout the winter.
For the Cozy Night Enthusiast
Turn an ordinary evening into a true home spa experience with NENA’s four-step care set. It includes a cleansing cream, clay mask, mineral tonic, and moisturizing cream. This complete ritual is perfect for anyone who loves taking care of themselves and enjoying a moment of slow beauty at home.
For Small but Thoughtful Gestures
NENA’s Lip Mask softens, hydrates, and repairs overnight, while the Glacial Micellar Water provides quick, no-rinse cleansing, ideal for the gym bag or on-the-go. These small touches prove that sometimes the best things come in small, sustainable, and thoughtful packages.
We wish you wonderful discoveries among these wellness gifts and a joyful holiday season filled with warmth and shared moments!
