Christmas; its a time of going inside, connecting with family, and enjoying the jovial festivities of the season. Christmas, it's also the most corporately active time of year. What better way to integrate the business world with your personal life than buying holistic health gifts for your friends and family? That way, you can honor the true meanings of Christmas, whatever they be for you, while supporting sustainable and creative industries. The following are some ideas to get your holistic health on and happening under the Christmas tree:

Eco-friendly Exercise Ball

Good for your health, and for the planet. This gift is perfect for somebody who wants to bring more love to their work-out plan. Exercise balls offer a versatile and exciting range of movement possibilities; ranging from traditional sets of muscle strengthening and toning or stretching, to more fluid and spontaneous forms of movement. They are fun for all ages.

Enya - And Winter Came

This CD offers a rich array of soothing tunes to set the mood on those chilly winter eves. The songs have a mystical flare; a lush combination of Enya's voice and background melodies. Soothing and melodic music has been known to have many health benefits; the music reduces stress and therefore promotes physical healing responses in the body. Wonderful lullaby music for newborns, or anybody in need of this hot-chocolate (or warm sesame-carob eggnog) worthy comfort.

Food Dehydrator

The live-food lifestyle is a choice some make while embarking on a holistic health journey. Eating live foods means eating foods which have not been cooked; thus they have their essential nutrients in tact and buzzing with life. If you have a friend or family member interested in including more raw foods in their diet, dazzle them with the gift of a dehydrator. A dehydrator can be used to create beautiful and delectable dishes which mimic the flavors and textures of their favorite cooked dishes. Living pizzas, cookies, pies, breads, and chips are only some of the possibilities.

Crystals

Crystals, like flowers, come in a diversity of shapes, sizes and colors. Unlike flowers, crystals are much longer lasting. This is why they make for excellent Christmas presents. In some Chinese and Indian traditions, crystals are revered for their healing powers and symbolic meaning. Rose quartz is known to energize love, jade is thought to assist in attracting wealth, and amethyst can attune one to spiritual inspiration, as well as protect. Choose a crystal
