For all the loved ones in your life who strive to stay well

 

Everyone has one in their lives--that person who is trying their best to eat well, exercise, and live better. You might have a lot of them in your life! That person who might look for the Fair Trade or the Organic symbol. They might be vegan...they might be on the keto diet..and they might just care about shopping local to support locally-made wares and reduce the cost that transportation has on the environment. 

We've curated a list of great stocking stuffers for anyone on the road to well-being, from wellness warriors to those who are just taking the first steps of their journey. From better-for-you sweets packing great nutritional value and less sugar than traditional chocolates, gummies and beyond, to self-care products without harmful chemicals, there's something for everyone on the wellness journey on our list of 15 Amazing Wellness Stocking Stuffer Ideas.

15 Unique Wellness Stocking Stuffer Ideas 

 

1) Sampson Bath Creamers

The holidays can be stressful for anyone...buying gifts, family coming to town, company crowding our personal space for days at a time...it’s so important to take some time for personal care. This year, try relaxing with the new Sampson Bath Creamers. But what is bath creamer, and how does it differ from the oh-so-popular bath bomb? Bath bombs use citric acid and sodium bicarbonate to create fizz and spread dyes/oils/scents throughout your bath water. Bath creamers infuse your water with essential oils and skin-softening butters. Especially in Ottawa, this time of year can lead to our skin cracking and itching, so try a bath creamer this winter and give your skin the care it deserves!

2) Natural Hand-Crafted Soaps by Kardish

A beautiful bar of soap is the perfect gift—and the ideal size for a luxurious stocking stuffer. Our new natural, hand-crafted soaps are suitable for all skin types and are 100% naturally fragranced with essential oils and plant extracts. They are made with no artificial colours or scents, sulfates, triclosan, toxic chemicals, or animal byproducts. Leaving the skin soft and moisturized, they make a great present or stocking stuffer for anyone on your “nice” list, and are 3 for $10 throughout the Holiday season.
