Valentine’s Day Gifts for Your Favorite Health Nut

Valentine's Day Gifts

Valentine’s Day is definitely one of those holidays people love or love to hate. Expressing your love for people should be a daily activity, not just designated to one holiday. But there’s no denying that Valentine’s Day is a great excuse to decorate your house with rosy hues and eat a ridiculous amount of chocolate.

If you do have a significant other, there’s the additional pressure of finding a gift. Lucky for you, I put together a list of gift ideas, ranging from food to clothing, to make your gift-giving a little easier.

These selections are perfect for women or men, moderately priced, and are a healthy way to enjoy the holiday. Time to start shopping!

1) True Moringa Oil

1426279265795

This is a beauty product that not only makes a difference in the look and feel of your skin, but also in the lives of others. True Moringa works with farmers in Northern Ghana to create a vertically integrated supply chain that creates jobs and income for the farmers during the moringa oil creation process.

It’s exciting to see a skin-care product that is made solely out of natural ingredients, and True Moringa is just that. Made only out of 100% cold-pressed moringa oil and one or two essential oils, True Moringa delivers quality skin-care without scary chemicals. True Moringa has anti-aging, moisturizing, and soothing properties and can be used on the face, body, or hair.

Looking for a Valentine’s gift with no assembly? Order the True Moringa Valentine’s Day Mani and Pedi Box! This box is filled with organic, moisturizing soap from Meow Meow Tweet, True Moringa Cuticle and Body Oil, and non-toxic D.I.D. Nail Paint. For all of these organic and natural products, $35.00 is a pretty sweet deal.

2) Nutrition Stripped T-Shirts

Ok, so not-so-secret secret—I’m obsessed with McKel Hill AKA the genius behind Nutrition Stripped. She’s a registered dietician with a strong belief in nurturing the body through wholesome food. Her recipes are nothing short of delicious and her photography is AMAZING.

Part of what I love about her is all the cool gear she sells on her website. Some of that gear is t-shirts with funky sayings on them, like “Good Food, Good Vibes,” and beautiful avocado art. So if your significant other is obsessed with healthy food and believe that kale made them do it, then these are the perfect gift.

The shirts are lightweight, locally made in her town of Nashville, TN, and perfect for the gym or running errands.

3) Atlas Coffee Club

Starting the morning with a freshly brewed coffee is one thing, but starting it with freshly brewed coffee that’s been roasted the same week it’s delivered is another. Atlas Coffee Club is a monthly subscription club that send you exotic coffee from around the world.

The coffee is ethically made, extremely high quality, and freshly roasted. There’s a variety of regions to choose from, including Brazil, Costa Rica, and Peru. The monthly subscription costs 19.95/month and each month includes a bag of their gourmet coffee, a tasting profile, and a brewing guide.

4) Eating Evolved Primal Chocolate

Like I’ve said before, I LOVE chocolate. And there’s nothing better than chocolate in it’s raw form, without any added sugar or junk. I’m a huge fan of eatingEVOLVED because they make chocolate that’s free of dairy, gluten, and soy and sweeten their products with only a small amount of maple syrup. The chocolate is suitable for vegans and for people following the paleo diet.

In addition to their wide selection of chocolate bars, the company also makes coconut butter cups, chocolate spreads, hot chocolate, and baking chocolate.

If your valentine is a true chocoholic, try one of eatingEVOLVED’s gift boxes for a wide variety of options!

5) Chocolate-Covered Katie Cookbook

Eating healthy and still being able to indulge in dessert seems like an impossible task. Thanks to Chocolate-Covered Katie, however, it’s VERY easy to do.

I love this cookbook because the majority of the recipes can be made at home with ingredients on hand. The book features a glossary that explains every type of ingredient in the book and where to find them, which is helpful to those of you that are just starting out with healthy baking.

Recipes range from sweet quinoa breakfast bowls to frozen yogurt to rich chocolate donuts. Whenever I need to bring a dessert dish to a party, this is the first cookbook I look at.

The book is sold on Amazon for the cheap price of $11.90 with Prime.
