hey say the best gifts come from the heart, which is half
true. The best gifts are also kind to the heart, not to
mention the lungs, the brain-you get the idea.
» This
holiday season, instead of giving cat-embroidered sweaters to
your giftees, why not look for presents that encourage health and
wellness? That doesn't have to be mean bricks of green tea and
gym memberships (in fact, the latter might send a not-so-kind
message).
» Instead, take a look at these creative, health-related
gift finds for every person on your list.
1 FOR THE RUNNER WHO
NEEDS MOTIVATION
Athletic geeks (wait, is that even possible?) will love Sportiiiis,
a little gadget that clips to their sunglasses and, using color
LED lights and voice prompts, keeps them on track. It relays
heart rate, speed and cadence goals so they can keep their
eyes on the prize. $149.99, 4iiii.com
2 FOR THE SOIL-GARDENER
CHALLENGED
A battery-powered garden? Believe it. No watering, no fertilizer needed to grow mini tomatoes,
chili peppers or fresh herbs-perfect additions to
a pal's meal plan. All she needs is this starter kit
and two AA batteries. $79, clickandgrow.com
