The end of the year 2020 is almost upon us, and if you\u2019re still wondering what Christmas and New Year gifts to buy for your loved ones, then worry not. We\u2019ve got you covered!<\/span><\/p>\n

The joy of giving and receiving presents is no doubt multiplied when the gift has been carefully chosen, well thought of, and can enhance the person’s life. Sure you would want them to absolutely LOVE the presents you give, but with this comes the pressure of choosing the right gift for the right person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So to make things easier, we\u2019ve narrowed down a list of thoughtful and unique gift options that work for both the men and women in your life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0<\/span>The Gift of Better Sleep<\/span><\/h2>\n

\nPrice: $69<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

It is common knowledge now that blue light emitted from our devices have a negative impact on our sleep cycles, keeping our brains active even through the wee hours of the night. Enter: Night Swannies! These sleek glasses are designed to block out blue light that can keep you from having a deep, restful sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All you have to do is put these on a few hours before bedtime and go on with your usual routine. We all know someone who likes to unwind with Netflix, has the habit of working late at night or uses their phone right before they sleep. The night Swannies are an absolute heaven-sent for those!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The Gift of Living Mindfully\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Mindfulness App<\/a>
\nPrice: $79.99 (for a yearly subscription)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"We have all heard the phrase \u2018live in the moment\u2019. With the age of distraction practicing mindfulness has never been more necessary. We know that meditation is awesome but most of us have failed to start or stick to a consistent practice. The Mindfulness App makes it easy to stick to a routine and is the perfect present for anyone who wants to bring more balance and calm into their lives. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>You get timed and guided meditations ranging from 3 to 30 minutes per session with many features to help incorporate daily meditation into your life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The Gift of Productivity\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Panda Planner<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span>Price: Starting from $24.97 \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Just when we thought that manual note-taking and journaling was on the way out, the Panda Planner is pushing through and quickly became popular with its scientifically-designed planners. Designed to improve our productivity and boost happiness, the Panda Planner will develop positive attitudes, organize your life and help you flourish in every way.<\/span><\/p>\n

The planner is undated and we love how it includes daily, weekly and monthly sections perfect for setting goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

LARQ Bottles<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span>Price: $95<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"This one is for your health-conscious friends who love to stay hydrated but are conscious of the quality of water they consume (I mean who isn\u2019t right?). The Larq water bottle is not just another water bottle, here’s the kicker, it automatically purifies the water you put in it, neutralizing up to 99.9999% of odor-causing bacteria in a nontoxic way using UV-C light.

\"\"Imagine gifting someone a delicious snack pack that also saves lives by providing life-saving food to malnourished children around the world. These super healthy snacks make great stocking stuffers. They are packed with nutrition and energy and are filled with natural ingredients. The holiday season can be overburdening as far as calories are concerned, so might as well gift something healthy instead that also gives back to those in need. (Double win!)<\/span><\/p>\n

7. The Gift of Home Cooking\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Blue Aprons<\/span><\/a>

\"\"Wholesome meals can add joy to your life but with our busy lifestyles, it\u2019s often hard to find the time to cook a meal. When gifting a home cooking service you don\u2019t get pre-cooked meals, what you get is carefully measured high-quality ingredients and great recipes to enjoy your meals at home.
