We all know that person who is constantly striving to become the healthiest, best, and fittest version of themselves. Maybe they were the one who taught you about the term “biohacking” back when that was a thing. Now, they offer you packs of electrolytes and sessions in their infrared sauna (if you’re lucky). For the person who makes wellness their whole personality, it can be hard to find something that excites them, something they don’t already know about.
Here are seven gift ideas for anyone interested in making 2025 their healthiest year yet.

Tangram Smartrope
To prepare for our wedding, my husband took up jump-roping—an outrageously fun and unexpectedly tough form of cardio. To help him compete against himself, I’m getting him the Tangram Smartrope, which tracks reps and overall progress so he can focus on jumping, not counting.

Walden Meditation Pillow
Exercising the mind is as important as building muscle, and this Walden Meditation Pillow gives you a comfortable space to make the time to get centered. Crafted by hand with moisture-wicking materials and filled with buckwheat hulls from upstate New York, its chic, modern design values comfort as much as aesthetics. With partners like The Four Seasons and Amen, Walden transforms your living room into a meditation retreat.

Stakt Mat
This fitness mat can replace all other fitness mats. Stakt is a lightweight, foldable gym accessory that combines multiple tools into one. It’s soft and supportive for activities like stretching and yoga, but also durable enough for split squats and lifting. Twice as thick as a regular yoga mat, it’s great for protecting your joints and your floors (and downstairs neighbors) from weight-lifting and workout-related disturbances.

Higherdose Infrared Sauna Blanket
Why not aid recovery with a quick sauna session? If you’ve been anywhere near the internet this year, you know that the popularity of saunas is on the rise, but most of us don’t have the space (or funds) for a full-sized hot-box. That’s why I am obsessed with the Higherdose Infrared Sauna Blanket. It gives you the same hot, sweaty session, but can fold up and fit under your bed.

Castleflexx Body Stretcher
A good stretch is underrated … and hard to achieve. Castleflexx’s concept is simple, but the design and feeling are nothing less than revolutionary. Castleflexx helps you reach those hard-to-stretch places and relieve pain in the long term, not just for the moment. It’s a perfect option for your friend who’s gotten really into running, but hasn’t quite perfected the warm-up part.

Earthfoam Pillow
Yes, a pillow—stay with me. Sleep is an integral part of any fitness journey. Chances are, even the most health-obsessed people in your life are sleeping on crappy, old, lumpy pillows. Perhaps you’re skeptical of a mail-order pillow (I was, too), but Earthfoam is made with a natural rubber that makes a springy and supportive pillow. It’s also moldable, if you’re the fold-the-pillow in-half type. A good pillow might be what’s standing between an average speed and a PR race for the runner in your life.

Aerflo Carbonating Water Bottle
Holidays are all about the sparkles. Aerflo is an all-in-one, carbonating water bottle that’s all about the fizz, turning any bottle of still water into a sparkling treat. It easily carbonates plain tap water, giving it the ultimate leg-up on whatever flat-water bottles you have. It’s an excellent choice for hikers or friends who love a long walk and crave a little more fun in their hydration—or for the people in your life trying to cut back on soda.
