The holiday season is upon us. We know that means pressure to find thoughtful gifts in a pinch! We’re here to help you spread cheer and offer you gifting ideas (with links) for your yoga-loving friends!
Whether they’re passionate about perfecting their downward dog or love to explore new wellness trends, we’ve got you covered with a curated list of gifts ranging from stocking stuffers to grand gestures and all the links to get them too! OH and they’re all available on prime so you can get them in time for the holidays (including Hanukah when the dates change every year and then you’re like “oh no! I forgot to get the presents!” Luckily the holiday is 8-days long and all of these gift ideas arrive in less than 3.)
Here are some things WE LOVE!
Did you know that smell is the sense that creates the most memories? Give your yoga-loving friends the gift of nostalgia and good scents with these ideas. Ranging from $12 to $50 we’ve even found one that is USB re-chargeable and fits in to your car’s cupholder.
We’re also including diffusers that come with essential oils so you’re totally ready to go and create room, home and yoga studio smellgoodiness. Click on the images for links to purchase these from Amazon.com. If you’re located outside of the US or Canada, simply type the tittles of the items into a search bar on your browser and local suppliers or retailers that stock the items should pop up.

For the yogi always on the go, a foldable travel mat is a game-changer. It easily fits into a suitcase or backpack, making it perfect for yoga on the road. Hello- long layover airport yoga practices! Ya… we do that. Our favourite BY FAR is the Manduka eco-lite travel mat. Sticky, grippy, foldable. It’s $52 and WELL WORTH it.
If you’re Canadian and you prefer to shop a Canadian brand, BMat also makes a travel mat that is a good alternative. It’s basically just the rubber over-layer of their regular mat.
