The Lazy Healthy Holiday Gift Guide
A gift guide for people who want better health without trying harder
Here’s my filter for everything on this list. Two questions only:
1. Does it increase health?
2. Does it increase ease?
If it doesn’t do both, I don’t want it.
No martyr wellness. No “new routine.” No becoming someone who wakes up at 5am on purpose.
This is the 80/20 Christmas list. Small swaps. Big payoff. Cozy vibes only.
Health:
If your current breakfast is toast, coffee, or vibes — adding eggs is a massive upgrade. Protein. Fat. Choline. Actual nutrients.
This is a huge health improvement for a very tiny behavior change. 80/20 win.
And this stainless steel version is perfect for keeping the plastic away.
Ease:
No pan. No watching the stove. No overcooked sadness.
You press a button. Eggs happen. You eat them. Done.
Cost:
~$35
2. 🔪 Dishwasher-Safe Knife Set
Health:
Good knives = you actually cook more. Period.
Stainless steel is durable, low-fuss, and not precious. This isn’t about becoming a chef — it’s about not hating meal prep.
Ease:
They go straight into the dishwasher.
No special care. No hand-washing rituals. No guilt.
Sharp knives that don’t demand emotional labor? Yes.
Cost:
~$80
3. 🦴 Weighted Vest + Wrist & Ankle Weights
Health:
Women especially need bone-loading as we age. Walking with extra weight tells your bones, “Hey, stay strong.”
This supports bone density, muscle tone, and long-term joint health without a gym membership or a personality change.
Ease:
You’re already walking, cleaning, moving— living.
Add weight to the life you already have.
You’re quietly getting the benefits your CrossFit friend is chasing — without reorganizing your schedule or your nervous system.
Cost:
~$30 & $55
4. 😴 Manta Sleep Mask
Health:
Blocking light at night is one of the biggest sleep upgrades available.
Light messes with melatonin. Darkness tells your body it’s safe to rest.
Looking for an 80/20 sleep improvement?
Start with darkness before supplements, trackers, or ice baths.
Bonus: silk = less friction on skin and hair. Fewer sleep lines. Less irritation. Treat-yo-self luxury, but actually useful.
Ease:
You put it on.
You sleep.
No cold plunges were harmed in the making of this habit.
Cost:
$75
5. 🚗 Sprints Car Towel
Health:
Sweating is great for your body.
It’s just… terrible for your car seats.
This removes friction between doing the healthy thing and not creating a mess that future-you resents.
Ease:
No extra laundry spirals.
No seat stains.
No “I’ll skip it because cleanup.”
This is what real habit support looks like.
Cost:
~$40
6. Richi Sencha Green Tea
Health:
According to Dr. William W. Li (author of Eat to Beat Disease), green tea — especially sencha — contains compounds that support immune health and may help the body defend against cancer.
That’s powerful.
And it comes in a cup.
Ease:
Instead of overhauling your diet or picking a food religion, just… put this next to your coffee.
Accessibility drives frequency. Frequency drives results.
No rules. Just proximity.
Cost:
~$10
7. Barefoot Slippers (With a Back!)
Health:
Your feet are meant to move.
Barefoot-style slippers support natural foot strength, joint alignment, and muscle engagement.
The key detail? A heel back.
Slides mess with your gait. Over time, that can ripple up into ankles, knees, hips, and low back.
These let you walk normally — just more supported.
Ease:
It’s slipper season anyway.
This is just a smarter version of what you’re already wearing.
No stretching routine required.
Cost:
~$80
🎄 The Real Gift
None of this requires becoming “better” or completely changing your lifestyle.
It just makes the healthy choice the easier one.
That’s Lazy Healthy.
