WHAT TO GET YOUR HEALTHY FRIEND FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
We all have that one friend… you know, the one who you have no idea what to buy for the holidays because they only wear thrifted organic cotton and won’t be in the same room as a Glade plug-in?
Well, luckily for you, I am that friend and I know exactly what your crunchy, holistic comrade wants.

Pique tea-
If there’s one thing us granolas love its organic, sustainable, high quality tea. And Pique Tea is a whole new experience of teas. Pique cold brews its organic and sustainably farmed tea, then isolates crystals from the brew. They take those crystals and pre-measure them into convenient little packets that you can easily dissolve into hot or cold water (instant iced tea anyone??).
My favorites are the Hibiscus Beauty Elixir, Fermented Black Tea, and Sun Goddess Matcha. The matcha is unlike any matcha I’ve ever had, it has an incredible color and dissolves perfectly.
I love Pique Tea so much that I reached out to them for a code that I could give to you all - the code is COLBYISWELL and will save you a bit of money this holiday season.
2. Wild Roots Alchemy: Face Serum-
If you have any holistic beauty queens in your life then this is for them. Seriously, look no further. This is the ONLY skincare product I use and my skin has never been better. I started using this serum about two years ago when it was first launched and I haven’t looked back. It’s handmade and formulated by holistic skin expert Dr. Shannon Curtis in Boulder, Colorado. She quite literally brews the herbs in the serum herself and each batch takes weeks to make.
To order the serum you take her skincare quiz that tells you which one of her four custom blends is best for your skin. She even brings astrology into it (trust me, your friend will love that). I have personally bought one of these for most of my family members, you won’t be disappointed.
3. A Body Work Appointment:
Yeah yeah, I may be biased (I’m a chiropractor), but nothing hits the same as giving someone the opportunity to have time to get their mind, body, and nervous system right. This gift is perfect for the friend who constantly has an ache to complain about, or who has three kids and doesn’t take a moment for herself, or who may be described as a workaholic… nothing wrong with any of those but I can promise you they won’t soon forget you giving them a chance to take care of themselves for once.
If you’re in the Boulder, Colorado area you can prepay for a visit and send them to me for chiropractic, acupuncture, or a cosmetic session at Atlas Chiropractic! Not only does everyone leave feeling grounded and relaxed, but those aches and pains just melt away (along with the stressors of life). If you’re not in my area you can also look up your local chiropractor, massage therapist, acupuncturist, or body worker and get your friend a gift card!
4. Moon Mother Hemp co:
This Boulder local company has some of my favorite products ever, plus they’re super environmentally friendly and the owner is amazing.
I solely use the manuka honey mask as my “cleanser” and my skin feels incredible afterwards. She has a three part beauty kit that is to die for and makes the perfect stocking stuffer. Some of my other favorites are the muscle balm and CBD tincture.

5. Organic Bedding:
This has been one of my favorite purchases to upgrade my holistic home. You spend (hopefully) about 8 hours a day on your sheets so it’s important that they’re high quality and not leeching chemicals into you all night.
One of my favorite brands is Pact and I currently have their comforter and sheets. They have a gorgeous selection or colors as well.
6. Moringa Vinga:
Moringa Vinga is an adaptogenic concentrate to add to beverages. They have multiple flavors like elderberry, ginger, and even fire cider. They are also a Boulder local company that prides itself on using the highest quality ingredients and having an incredible flavor profile.
This is another wellness gift that will not disappoint and it’s on my list to buy a few of my family members!

7. Wellness Journal:
I think journals are an amazing gift. There is so much potential in unwritten pages and they’re perfect for someone who likes to document their life or who needs a little more organization in their wellness routine.
These are linked in my amazon storefront in my Holistic Home section!
8. Eden Pottery co:
One of my favorite gifts to give during the holidays are handmade local goods, especially art or different creations. Eden Pottery co is a Colorado local company that was actually started by my good friends mom! She got me into pottery and we even threw at the same studio for a while. She did so well that she upgraded to a home studio and now sells her products on instagram!
9. Whipped Tallow Body Butter:
Tallow is the only moisturizing product I use on my skin. Once you switch from lotions to tallow you’ll never go back. Tallow is so smooth and hydrates unlike any other modern products because of its close relation to human skin. It actually allows you to retain the natural moistures in your skin instead of trying to add to it.
One of my favorite brands is Flying Cow Tallow or this one by Hearth and Homestead!
