I thought I'd save you the time (like Santa did in Miracle on 34th Street) and just tell you what to buy/where to shop for you healthy friend/family member. Here are 30 ideas, as well as stocking stuffer ideas for a healthy girl. Perhaps she already has a healthy lifestyle, these tools will just help her on her journey, or perhaps, she's declared that 2017 is going to be healthiest year yet, no matter what the circumstance, get to shoppin'! She deserves it!

Give her a planner to plan successful days.

Buy her a new yoga mat (found here). I've found a ton at places like Marshalls and Ross for a cheaper price tag. HOWEVER, my favorite mat of all time is made by Gaiam and it's foldable, so I can travel everywhere with it.

Give her a yoga mat carrier (if you're feeling fancy) - found here.

Apple fan? Buy her an Apple Watch to track your time, sleep, workouts, and schedule. Buy her an iPad to stream her workouts, to check in with others, and to be inspired.

Maybe she's not to into Apple, go with a fitbit (found here).

Don't let her leave the house with a shaker cup (with container for powders) - found here.

Meal prep will be her key for health success!

These containers are needed for healthy foods and prep (found here).

Give her the gift of cozy.

She'll need motivational tanks to go under said cozy gear.

I bet she believes yoga pants are pants! She'll need them for those workouts.

Stylin' shoes to go with her ensemble!

Don't let her forget to get her water in! These fun bottles are all the rage right now (found here).

Snag some headbands to keep her hair out of the way.

Speaking of hair, dry shampoo will be her BFF. Be sure to grab her correct hair color.

Tea is my magical means of fighting late night snacking.

This manaTEA can totally be her pal (found here).

A recovery roller to make sure those muscles are getting treated well after

being worked so hard (found here).

Strength slides to maximize her workouts (found here).

Save her time. Give her the tools to workout at home. I fired my gym 3 years ago and I haven't looked back since. To see success stories and join an accountability group, click here.

Don't want to buy her a full workout program, why not try them free?

I use Beachbody on Demand to stream my workouts daily, whether I'm home or traveling. The coolest part is that there is a 30 day FREE trial (found here).

My favorite tool in the kitchen. Skip the pasta and eat more

greens with this spiralizer. (Found here)

The Fixate Cookbook to help find healthy, filling, recipes for foods

she already loves (along with portion containers) - found here.

Buy her a weighted sandbag to push harder in those workouts. By adding this to workouts, she can add an extra level of resistance - up to 20 lbs. This will help sculpt her whole body. She can adjust the size and weight be removing or adding sand.

Give her the gift of health with essential oils. Young Living is our

favorite because they're the most pure we've found.

Give her the gift of relaxation! Stuff a mask in her stocking, give her some relaxing bath salts. Epsom salt is key for those sore muscles (found here).

I use my Ninja daily. If you're going to get her one, be sure to get one with a the traveler cups. Literally throw a few things in, hit the on button, throw the lid on, and run out the door. Time saver! (Found here)

Give her books that won't just motivate her, but that will help her grow! Personal development books have changed my life and have made me so much more positive! Click here to check out my faves.

She'll feel more healthy, more energized, have better digestive health, get her greens in, lose weight, and have a super easy meal-on-the-run drink once a day with Shakeology.

The IRONMAN motto is 'Anything is Possible'. Do you believe that to be true? Every single day, I push play and get my workout in because short, at-home workouts have changed my life. The Beachbody Performance Line (sponsored by IRONMAN) makes my workouts count even more. My favorite of the group is Energize. She'll be so grateful that she can take her workouts to another level. She'll be grateful for more energy, better focus, less soreness, and faster recovery times!
