I've never done this before, but I thought it would be fun to put together a little gift guide for that health nut or spoonie in your family. I know it can be hard to figure out what to get someone to begin with, let alone someone who deals with a chronic illness or is holistically health focused.
I reached out to my health and spoonie community to get even more ideas of great products or gifts they've loved. I also wanted to be able to support some small businesses and spoonie businesses so I've included some amazing products created by others in our community!
Hopefully you find these suggestions helpful and be sure to list in the comments any other great ideas you have!
