Best health gifts

Meal-prep boxes and vouchers

Mindful Chef gift card

A meal-prep gift card is best when it suits the level of cooking someone actually enjoys. For healthy cooking from scratch, Mindful Chef has a weekly menu of recipes to choose from, with options including vegan, high-protein and gluten-free dishes.

For someone who’d rather skip the chopping, Prep Kitchen and Frive deliver chef-prepared healthy meals that just need heating in under five minutes. They're super handy for a quick lunch between work and training.

Field Doctor is one of my favourites as someone who likes having meals in reserve for busy days. Its chef-made dishes arrive frozen, with menus including high-protein, gluten-free and Mediterranean options. COOK is another great option for stocking the freezer, with lower-calorie meals and a high-protein range to choose from.

Make meal prep feel less like a chore with a Stanley lunchbox set. The All Day Mini Lunch Box has 4 litres of space, insulation to keep lunch at the right temperature for hours and an inner mesh pocket for cutlery or a snack. It comes in lots of colours to suit everyone's personal favourite shade. Pair it with the 0.89-litre IceFlow Tumbler (in over 20 colours) with its flip straw for easy sipping on the go. It’s a handy match for taking lunch and water from the kitchen to work, training or a day out.

Oura Ring 5

Oura 5

If there's one fitness and wellness accessory permanently attached to me it is my Oura ring. For someone who likes keeping tabs on their sleep and activity, the latest Oura Ring 5 packs health tracking into a discreet ring. It monitors sleep, heart rate and daily activity, then turns that data into insights on recovery and readiness. Battery life is up to nine days and you can get an Oura membership for the full app insights. Read more on the best sleep trackers.

Zooki Collagen Glow Heroes small gift set

Zooki Collagen Glow Heroes Small Gift Set

For someone who is loyal to taking their supplements, this Zooki set is super handy for life on the move. The travel make-up bag holds 22 sachets: five mango and peach marine collagen, five acai berry vitamin C, five mixed berry vitamin D and seven pomegranate and lemon Electrolytes+. It’s a smart way to try four different products, then keep the pouch for gym bits or weekend essentials afterwards.

Spa experiences from Virgin Experience Days

Muscle Melt Massage Spa Experience at the Bentley London

A massage or spa experience is a thoughtful gift for someone who trains hard and deserves time to switch off. One of my favourites is the Muscle Melt Massage Spa Experience at the Bentley London, with gym and spa access alongside a deep lymphatic massage.

For a full day of wellness ahead of a sport competition, I have previously tried out The Full Longevity Circuit with Vidavii which includes infrared, cryotherapy and hydro massage. The Thermal Wellness Experience with Parenie Treatment at Banya No 1 Hoxton is a lovely option for two, so you can enjoy a relaxing day out together.

Lush Deep Sleep gift

Lush Deep Sleep Gift

This relaxing bath trio makes a lovely present for someone who enjoys a proper wind-down after training. It’s an easy way to make an ordinary evening at home feel more luxurious. The lavender and sweet-scented soaks help set the scene for a relaxing bath just before bedtime.

The epsom salt and lavender cube is a soothing choice after a workout. Twilight adds a lavender and tonka fragrance, while Butterball gives skin a little TLC with melting cocoa butter and a vanilla scent.

For an extra-special gift, Lush also offers treatments at many of its UK stores using its natural, ethical products. I recommend the Rewilding facial, a gentle drainage facial with skin-loving ingredients. I found it left me feeling less puffy and refreshed after an intense spin session.

Compex Ion Vibrating Massage Roller

Compex Ion Vibrating Massage Roller

Compex has always been a favourite of mine for at-home recovery whether it is the EMS muscle stimulators on my lower back or the relaxing leg compression boots. For someone who likes to make recovery part of their training routine, this vibrating roller offers a more stimulating way to massage muscles after a workout.

It’s a useful addition to a home recovery kit after a gym session, run or long day on your feet. The vibrations mean you can let the machine do the leg work of the recovery for a deeper and more effective stretch, which in turn will help support with any aches and can help improve your next workout session

Evolve Organic Beauty Vital Clarity Muscle Melt Balm

Evolve Organic Beauty Vital Clarity Muscle Melt Balm

A small but thoughtful self-care gift for anyone who enjoys a massage after training. I use Evolve Vital Clarity Muscle Melt to massage my neck, shoulders or legs when they feel tired or tense. It’s easy to keep in a gym bag or by the bed, and feels more luxurious than your average muscle balm.

The natural, vegan balm melts into skin on contact. It’s made with traditional comfrey and arnica macerations, plus organic macadamia and sea buckthorn oils that leave skin feeling soft. I like using it after a workout or at the end of a long day as a little moment to unwind.

ClassPass gift card

Gymbox

For someone who likes to try new workouts or is unsure which class to initially go for, a ClassPass gift card gives them credit to try something new or book a favourite workout before committing long term. Depending on what’s available nearby, they could put it towards recovery sessions like HotPod Yoga, immersive cardio classes like some of my favourites, Psycle and SoulCycle, or more intensive sessions like Barry’s, F45 and 1Rebel.

There’s also an opportunity to go to gym sessions at boutique studios such as ONE LDN or bigger gyms including Nuffield. If they would rather try out recovery treatments there’s plenty of spas to choose from across the UK like lymphatic treatments or sports massages. Plus ClassPass also allows you to put credits towards healthy lunch spots. Try out Noxy Brothers, Naori Sushi, Urban Green, The Salad Project and Elevate for healthier options.

Bimble and Bolt Marathon Care Pack sock box

Bimble and Bolt Marathon Care Pack Sock Box

Running challenges are always a big goal for the new year and there’s no better motivation than getting all the gear sorted for maximum effort. So what better than a practical, running-themed present for someone counting down to a marathon?

The sock box from Bimble and Bold is a thoughtful way to help towards a training goal and give them something useful to reach for on the miles ahead. You can choose a variety of sock styles for men or women, giving a fitness-focused spin on getting Christmas socks this year.

Sweaty Betty On the Move tote bag set

Sweaty Betty On the Move Tote Bag Set

For someone whose yoga mat goes everywhere, this set makes the post-class dash to the office a little easier. The cotton canvas tote has straps for carrying a mat and the set includes a flat, comfortable claw clip, body wash, vitamin E body lotion, cooling aloe face mist and a body and hair mist scented with jasmine, vanilla and soft woods. It’s a useful class-to-the-rest-of-your-day kit, with a few treats to freshen up along the way.

FORZA Yoga Complete Cork Bundle

FORZA Yoga Complete Cork Bundle

One of my top fitness recommendations is this eco-friendly natural yoga bundle, which is a handy gift for someone who wants to make more space for stretching or mobility work at home. The cork collection gives them the essentials to build a regular practice, whether they’re new to yoga or looking to refresh their existing kit.

This one is made from ethical materials and provides everything needed for beginners or experts to stretch out at home or in a studio space. You can get the ready-made kit or you can create your own bundle with everything from more advanced features like wheels that support up to 150kg to essentials like rollers, blocks, and mats.

Sportneer adjustable weights

Sportneer Adjustable Weights

While the motivation to work out is there, cold weather can make it harder to head to the gym. Give your fitness-loving recipient these weights for a flexible way to strength train at home. They’re easy to adjust between exercises, so they can add resistance to everything from lunges and squats to upper-body moves, without stepping out into the cold.
