For that reason, wellness-related gifts can be a great way to bring some calm to your friends and family during the chaos of the holiday season. They're also an easy way to take moment of self-care if you're looking to pamper yourself too.
This Christmas, why not mix things up and give your loved ones an added dose of rest and relaxation — however they choose to indulge. Ahead, scroll through to find out top wellness gift picks of the season, with gift ideas that start at just $18.
