Our Intentional + Aligned Gift List
Personally, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that it’s already November, and the end of November at that.
…And, it’s not just me. It seems as though our perception of time is just another thing that has been impacted by Covid-19. Read more on that here.
Alas, here we are. The calendar isn’t going to be slowing down anytime soon, so we are going to make the most of the upcoming holiday season.
We’re all about intentionality here at True Core Health, so for Our 2021 Holiday Gift Guide, we’ve chosen gifts that directly align with our values.
Innovation: We do things differently than the norm and engage ground breaking techniques to support mental health and healing.
True Core Collective
With the rise in mental health issues and concerns we need to consciously consider how we need to help people heal in a variety of ways. The old way of doing therapy doesn’t get me as excited as trying new models and thinking outside of the box.
Enter… an online wellness community with fresh breath work recordings, journaling prompts, live Q&A sessions with mental health experts, and more.
Price Point: $200 annually or $20 monthly
Compassion: There is never a reason to be unkind. Everything we do is steeped in compassion and kindness. Do no harm but take no shit.
Wilde House Self Reflections Pad
I have found that self-reflection draws self-compassion, and self-compassion is one of the greatest gifts to give — whether to yourself or a friend.
We love this Self Reflections Pad by Wilde House Paper. We also love Wilde House Paper’s focus on sustainability:
“From our 100% recycled paper stocks to our decision to be made 100% in the U.S. to our commitment to planting one tree with every order, sustainability is lifestyle decision for us.”
Price Point: $18
11 11 Body Oil
Seasonal affective disorder can be such a challenge this time of year, and it’s essential for me to engage in self-care routines that take the season of winter into account. We love this hydrating body oil by Lake & Skye.
“This hydrating all-over body oil in Lake & Skye's signature 11 11 scent is rich in essential fatty acids and enriched with anti-inflammatory Vitamin E. This oil naturally nourishes and soothes dry skin while adding a clean, ethereal scent to your full self. Free of parabens, phthalates and sulfates. Vegan and cruelty free.”
Price Point: $48
LMNT Recharge Electrolyte Drink Mix
Did you know that a lot of us are just scooting about without enough electrolytes in our system? This impacts our hydration and thus our mental functioning.
I feel so much better when I take electrolytes every day, and my favorite one right now is LMNT.
“A tasty electrolyte drink mix that is formulated to help anyone with their electrolyte needs and is perfectly suited to folks following a keto, low-carb, or paleo diet.”
Price Point: Varies
The Reversible Lululemon Mat
I cannot live without this mat! I love using it for all of my stretchy and sweaty endeavors. Don’t ask me how many I own, haha.
“From hot to hatha, this natural rubber mat has a grippy top layer that helps you find balance.”
Price Point: $78
Generosity: We give to those things in which we are passionate about.
Donate To Giving Green
Looking to spend your money in an environmentally responsible way? For Giving Tuesday, consider a donation to Giving Green.
Giving Green's mission is to direct donors and volunteers towards evidence-backed projects that combat the climate crisis.
“Knowing we don’t have a minute or a dollar to waste, we provide a guide to help people identify the highest-impact ways that they can fight the climate crisis.”
Connection/Community: We lean on one another and our community to heal, grow, and change.
