Gift Ideas for Health and Happiness

 

The holidays are particularly magical: the anticipation, the lights, the treats, the music, and of course—the presents.
Gifts get a little different as you get older, of course. (Let’s face it: unwrapping a toaster will never quite be the same as unwrapping that shiny new bike bugged your parents about for months!) Fortunately, we’ve rounded up a few gift ideas that, while technically made for grownups, are perfect for bringing out the kid in you this holiday season.

Remote control…everything

There’s nothing like getting behind the wheel (well, remote) of a helicopter, race car, or airplane to bring out the kid in you. There are plenty of options available that are just plain fun, like these super affordable mini quadcopters, or this sophisticated all-terrain monster truck. There are even options that will let you go head-to-head with your friends, like these surprisingly fun RC bumper cars, or these battling drones.
Of course, there are a few more practical options, too. Many drones now have built-in photography capabilities, making them great options for photographers and videographers. And some robot vacuums also work with compatible remotes or mobile phone apps, so you might actually enjoy cleaning your floors for once. Function, meet fun.

Coloring books

They’re not just for kids anymore. Coloring books for adults have really caught on in the past few years, and for good reason. Many adults are turning to coloring to help relieve stress and improve focus. There are coloring books full of mandalas, animals, inspirational quotes, pop culture, and even humor. Staying inside the lines is optional.
And don’t forget your coloring tools! Classic crayons are always a popular choice, but a more grown-up approach might be to splurge for some artist-quality colored pencils, or smooth flowing gel pens. Whatever you choose, you’re sure to be creating works of art in no time with this fun, youthful gift.

Trampolines

As a kid, a trampoline was a gift that would probably keep you busy all day. As an adult, a trampoline can be an excellent addition to your home workout equipment. Whether it’s a full-size trampoline that your whole family can enjoy together, a simple personal trampoline for getting in a little cardio, or a full-blown trampoline workout system that gives you a variety of options, a trampoline is a fun, unexpected gift that could change the way you think about at-home exercise.

Health and energy

Most adults have envied a child’s energy at one point or another. Wouldn’t you love to be able to give yourself the gift of that youthful vitality?
Okay, so it’s not exactly possible to bottle that up. But there are health products out there that are specifically formulated to increase your energy and leave you feeling (almost) young again. Plexus EDGE^™, for example, provides healthy, sustained energy while enhancing concentration and improving your mood. Plexus TriPlex^™ is another great option; it promotes gut health and helps to improve all those tummy troubles that seem to get worse with age (and the holidays). ^1*
Don’t think that your age means you can’t feel energized, comfortable, and healthy this holiday season. It really is possible to give yourself (or someone you love) the gift of more energy!
So what’s on your wish list this year? Before you resign yourself to receiving a new pair of slippers, think about how you could unwrap the kid in you with one of these fun gift ideas for the young-at-heart.
