Giving a gift that promotes a healthy lifestyle is a creative way to show how much you care – and recipients will continue to reap the benefits of your health-related present long after the holiday season. The key is to find thoughtful and meaningful gifts. Here are 10 unique ways to inspire a healthy lifestyle: **Gift Certificates **Look at local options like a yoga or pilates studio, a subscription to weekly meal plans, personal trainer sessions, or massages. **Books** Cookbooks and self-help [books](https://info.totalwellnesshealth.com/blog/19-healthy-living-books-to-consider-for-national-read-a-book-day) are always good options but you could go beyond physical health and think holistic. Give books that help employees develop leadership skills, advanced their career or adapt to change.  **Portable Blender** Smoothies are a great way to eat more fruit and veggies. Single serving smoothie machines make it easy to blend and go. **Set of Kettlebells** There's a reason for the kettlebell craze - these powerful tools build muscle and cardiovascular fitness at the same time.  **Foam Roller** These post-workout aids are great for relieving tension. The uneven foam surface acts like a massage to loosen muscles and work out knots. **Bosu Ball** This one is a little hard to wrap, but comes with a variety of benefits. Because the ball is inherently unstable, it adds intensity to workouts, requiring people to engage core muscles in order to maintain balance. **Herb Mill** For those people trying to cut back on salt and butter, seasoning with fresh herbs can add big flavor without jacking up calories. This unique kitchen gadget minces herbs with a flick of the wrist. **Wireless Activity Tracker** These small devices are packed with lots of data - like steps and calories burned - that can help motivate employees to move more. **Unique Lunch Boxes** Packing a lunch can help employees stay slim but brown bags can be boring. Look for bright colored silicone boxes that help keep portion sizes consistent and keep lunch fun. **Extra Free Time** Give employees a half-day off or opt for flexible hours (employees can arrive and leave two hours early) to do their holiday shopping and reduce stress levels.  Whether you have a large budget or a small one, ultimately it's about recognize employees for their hard work and showing you care about them and their well-being.
