Holiday Gift Guide: For the Yogi

Published: Dec 5, 2013 · Modified: Dec 24, 2014 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

I love all of the holiday gift guides that pop up on the blogs this time of year! They are so fun to read through and get some inspiration or quick ideas. (They usually just remind me of something I want 😉 So over the next few weeks I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and make a few gift guides of my own to share with you. Hopefully they will help you out if you are stuck on what to get! I still am not sure what I will be getting my mom, dad, and brother. I like to DIY their gifts, but I am running out of time. Last year the gifts I made them took awhile. I made my mom a yarn wreath, my brother a sharpie mug, and my dad a some spiced nut mixes. I better start scrolling through Pinterest to find some new DIY ideas 😉 But if you are not into DIY and crafty gifts, well that is what these gift guides are for! This one is for the beautiful yogi in your life. Yoga is simplistic and you really don't need anything (not even clothes...they do have naked yoga classes...no lie) but some of us like to have all the accessorizes...and clothes. So without further adieu...

Yogi Gifts 11. Yoga Mat Spray Wash (Aurorae Yoga)

2. Yoga Mat (Aurorae Yoga)

3. Aroma Therapy Candles (Plantlife)

4. The Ultimate Racer Back Tank (Aurorae Yoga)

5. Subscription to Yoga Journal (Yoga Journal)

6. Yoga Strap (Manduka)

7. Yoga Blocks (Gaiam)

8. Rodney Yee's Power Yoga DVDs (Gaiam)

9. PowerLuxe Revelation Tight (Athleta)

Yogi Gifts 210. No Slip Yoga Socks (Gaiam)

11. My Favorite Sports Bra (Old Navy)

12. Yogi Hand Towel (Manduka)

13. Slip-Free Rosin (Aurorae)

14. Grippy Yoga Gloves (Gaiam)

15. Yoga Mat Bag (Gaiam)

16. UV Buff Headbands (Buff Bands)

17. BPA-Free Water Bottle (Athleta)

18. Yoga Mat Towel (Athleta)

 So tell me:

Any specific gift guides you want me to create?

What is the #1 thing on YOUR list? For me, it is the Ninja Ultima Blender!

Have a happy Thursday! See you tomorrow with the Finisher 🙂

    I have a very old yoga mat, and only do yoga once a week, I wonder if it is worth it to invest in a better mat? (I got mine on amazon for cheap FYI)

      It depends. My old mat is shredding and falling apart. I use it everyday though. But this mat in my list is actually very reasonable. The big name brands can be up to $90.

    What a wonderful selection of useful, well-designed gifts for the yogi in our lives! I especially love the non-slip yoga socks and the cool yoga mat bag. This year my #1 wish is for a really good water filter with an alkaline filter included.
    Thank you so much for sharing this valuable post with us on the Healthy, Happy, Green and Natural Party Hop! We sincerely appreciate it!

      I love the no slip idea! Even with my mat, my hands and feet tend to slip so they should be extra enforcement!

    Damn! Now I want ALL THE THINGS! Especially those socks! (I have way too many socks though - such a weirdo haha)

    I may or may not have made Jesse buy me a bunch of baking things and plates and bowls which I really don't *need* but had to have 😛 It's totally a food blogger thing haha

Celiac Disease is NOT a food allergy 🚫🍞 So Celiac Disease is NOT a food allergy 🚫🍞

So many people still confuse the two, but it’s an autoimmune disease, not an allergy. That means gluten doesn’t cause an immediate allergic reaction resulting in hives or swelling…it causes your immune system to attack your small intestine longterm. 

This distinction matters because:
👉 There’s no medication or quick fix
👉 The only treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet
👉 Mislabeling it as an “allergy” is scientifically incorrect. There is no such thing as a gluten allergy.

Swipe through to learn why the distinction is inportant and why accurate education and awareness is paramount. Let’s set the record straight and not mislabel our disease when speaking about it. 💛
