We all know that person who seems to defy all laws of physics and thermodynamics. Let's call them a Wellness Warrior. They're the type of person who runs a marathon and actually tries to win. They're the type of person who keeps fresh kale in all of their pockets so they have a snack for later. They're the type of person who bikes five miles to work, doesn't break a sweat, and still looks great when they arrive. Short of just buying them a head of cabbage, here are 11 gift ideas for the Wellness Warrior in your life.
We're so grateful to Point West Credit Union for sponsoring this year's Gift Guide.
1. Activewear
Does your Wellness Warrior like exercise? Are toddlers sticky? Obviously yes and yes, so possibly the best gift you can buy your super active and super healthy friend is activewear. Even if your friend doesn't play any sports, evo carries activewear and active accessories for all occasions. Click here to take save 50% when you get a ski or snowboard wax!
2. Spa Day
How does your friend run 12,000,546 miles a week and still manage to stick to a vegetarian diet? The world may never know. When was the last time they slowed down and relaxed? Treat them to a spa day at Zenana Center for Well Being where they will get the relaxation of a lifetime. Click here to get a free stone crop collection tube!

Actually, everyone should get this for themselves. You know what, this deal is so good, I'm going to go do the same once I'm done writing these Holiday Gift Guides.

6. Foot Jackets
Do you have a friend who is really into walking around barefoot the whole year? Does being barefoot give them some kind of life force?

Stop by KEEN Footwear (see what I did there) and save 30% on footwear when you click here!
7. Books
Forget these emojiticoins and internet slang; books are the only phones they need so encourage your friend's L I F E O F T H E M I N D™ and buy them a good old paper-bound smartphone to exercise their brain.
