Finding the perfect gift for yourself or someone else can be difficult, especially when it comes to fitness and wellness. Fortunately, there are many stores both in person and online where there are trendy, affordable and creative gifts centered around wellness for anyone in your life.
A great place to start for some people may be looking into clean products, according to Angelina Luigi, a manager at Sephora in the Montgomery Mall. She said Drunk Elephant and Laneige products are popular right now, specifically Laneige’s lip balm products, which are listed below. Drunk elephant offers skin, hair and body products, and laneige offers skin products as well as makeup. She also said, “For [your] body Sol de Janeiro is absolutely a hit.”
While Sephora has these products to offer, there are more affordable options. Some great places to shop for this can be any drugstore or Ulta which ranges from low-high end brands.
Students also have affordable fitness gifts recommendations. Deanna Mammen, a graduate student in the business school, says she enjoys shopping at places like TJMaxx and Homegoods in their wellness sections, and is especially interested in the yoga mats from Lululemon. Emma Taylor, a junior finance major, is also looking into fitness gifts and says she is asking for more workout clothes, as well as a new pair of cycling shoes for her weekly Recwell spin classes.
