If you’ve noticed that most of your co-workers head to the gym on their lunch hour or spend their breaks meditating instead of gossiping with a cup of coffee around the water cooler, tailor their birthday and holiday gifts to suit their healthier lifestyles. They’ll be happy that you’ve noticed their efforts to shape up physically and mentally and will thank you for the encouragement.  

Hydration Stations

Offer a way for your co-worker to stay hydrated and enjoy her favorite smoothies and energy drinks at the office. Present her with a stainless steel tumbler or bottle that will keep her herbal teas warm for hours or her water cold for the entire day. You can also give her a personal blender to easily create single servings of fruit purees or protein shakes on her lunch break.

Decadent Snacks

If you notice a team member binging on unhealthy foods from time to time, present her with a selection of treats that she can enjoy in moderation. Offer candy gift baskets featuring individually-wrapped chocolates or hard candy, a tin filled with cookies created with whole grains or a box with packets of nuts or dried fruits that can satisfy her sweet tooth.

Trusty Tote

When you’ve seen a fellow staff member juggling her workout clothing, sneakers and yoga mat on the way to her car one too many times, present her with a lightweight tote bag that she can use instead. Consider a model with plenty of small pockets for items like her wallet and keys and larger dividers to keep her shoes separated from her clean clothes, for instance.

When the people you work with have become obsessed with health and healing, offer gifts that support the wellness trend. Not only will they appreciate the sentiment, but will also be thankful for something that assists in their quest to feel renewed and energized.
