Sure, the holidays are super stressful. But they’re also that one time of year that you get an excuse to show your loved ones how much you care.

And if you know someone who is trying to lose weight or get healthy, you can really go above and beyond this year. Show them your support by giving them something that will help them along in their journey.

We found 20 awesome gifts related to health and wellness that you can stuff into stockings, pop into a tiny gift bag, (or even put on your own list) this holiday season.
 

1. Fitness Tracker — Varied

Fitness trackers are great for two main reasons. Number one, they actually do exactly what their makers say they do: track the movements you make and things like heart rate and pulse, so you can get an idea of your activity.

Number two, and most important, it adds an element of extreme motivation to your day-to-day life — you inherently want to do better than you did the day before.And there’s a ton of options to choose from: Fitbit, Garmin, Jawbone, Nike, Adidas, Sony and many more.

3. Wireless Headphones that Double as Earmuffs — $70

Walking, running, cycling — all amazing activities for fitness, all things that are often done outdoors. And when it’s cold out, keeping your ears warm is critical, as is listening to motivational music or a podcast. This baby gives you both in one — the headphone factor, plus that ever-so-needed warmth.

And where regular gloves fail in allowing you to use your mobile device or flick away sweat, these gloves win.
