& Holiday Gifts - What The Mayo Clinic

Clinic Health Letter (volume 25, #11, 11/07)

also healthy! |

Create
a basket of healthy goodies. Gather together
dried fruit, as well as almonds, walnuts,
and pecans in their shells-don’t
forget the nutcracker. Add some dark chocolate
and a selection of green or black teas.
Or, you could write up some recipe cards
with some of your favorite healthy recipes
and give them in a basket along with the
ingredients. Consider gift certificates
to your local produce store or your favorite
natural food store. Give a fruit of the
month gift subscription.

| Gifts
That Promote Relaxation |
|
| Finely
made, natural bath soaps or bath salts can
make for a relaxing tub escape. Rub someone
the right way with a massage certificate.
Make a day of it by giving a gift certificate
to a day spa. Expand the well being by setting
up a plant of the month subscription. Other
relaxing gifts might include relaxation DVDs. |

| Gifts
That Nurture |
|
| Give
a gift certificate that promises to meet for
a daily walk, or take an exercise class together.
Consider giving a month long membership to
a local athletic club or fitness center. Enrich
a healthy area of interest with a related
magazine or newsletter subscription.” |

| One
Of My Favorites |
|
| Here’s
one of my favorites that wasn’t mentioned
in the article, place a selection of fresh
herb plants (basil, thyme, dill, sage) in
pretty decorative containers. This is a great
gift that is a healthy cooking treat all year. |
