The Holidays are such a joyful time of year; the snow begins to fall, cozy nights by the fire, warm cups of hot cocoa, and a time to connect with family and dear friends (whether that be from a distance or virtually). It is a time of year full of reflection, gratitude, love and gift giving. This year, we have put together some of our favourite holiday gift ideas to help you find the perfect something for someone special on your list that will help them Move Well, Be Well all year round!
For the person who enjoys running, ignite their passion throughout the winter with a new pair of runners, YakTrax (to keep them from falling), no tie Caterpy laces, a fresh pair of running socks and a one month subscription to RunQuest!
For the person who is always cold, keep them warm this winter with a cozy pair of fuzzy socks and a warm pair of slippers. Bonus, treat them with a silk eye mask to help them fall into a peaceful slumber as they bundle up by the fire.
For the person who is too busy helping everyone else to take time for themselves, our ultimate self care kit is perfect for telling that person it is okay to take a little time for themselves. This kit is complete with a soothing hot and cold pad, Addaday massage rollers (to ease any tension spots), Fisiocrem (to melt away the stress), and a registration to our next Masques, Meditation and Massage online class (a calming evening where they can pamper themselves with a spa quality facial rom the comfort of their home).
For the person who finds peace on a Yoga mat, a special gift set filled with everything they need for a calming practice, yoga mat, a yoga strap, grippy toe socks, and a one month subscription to our online Move Well platform where they can take an unlimited number of yoga classes.
For the person who is suffering from foot pain, one of our most popular gift sets includes a pair of over the counter Kneed insoles, a book about Plantar Fasciitis filled with great tips and tricks on how to combat morning pain, a supportive pair of running shoes, and our favourite roller to relieve foot tension - a peanut.
For the person who is looking for new ways to move, winter can be a challenging time to find ways to be active, especially when other gyms and fitness centres are being forced to close their doors, give this person the gift of movement with a free month subscription to our online fitness platform where they can discover new ways to move! Pair this gift with some fitness equipment like a travel roller, loop band, exercise tube to spice up their day-to-day workouts with.
For the person who can never have enough shoes, treat them to a new pair of shoes they will absolutely adore, or if you are nervous about getting their size right a gift card is a suitable substitution! Throw in a little travel size shoe cleaning kit as a stocking stuffer to keep their new shoes looks fresh all year round.
We hope this guide has helped inspire you to find the perfect gift for that special someone on your Holiday list!
Happy Holidays,

Goal setting involves planning for the future. It is important to explore your goals, start to create your starting criteria for an action plan, and begin organizing for success. Setting goals and reflecting upon them improves success! Goals are great motivation and visa versa.
We all know the feeling… The short-days, cold weather, grey skies looming over-head has a tendency to make us feel down, unmotivated, and down-right blue. Especially now more than ever during these unprecedented times. Here are a few tips to help you beat the winter blues and feel good all season long. No more drops in mood, only drops in the temperature outside!
