We all have that friend who can’t seem to stop talking about Erewhon hauls and sound baths (it’s me, I’m that friend). But “wellness” these days can mean everything from hiking and Pilates classes to smearing on a face mask, lighting a candle, and calling it a day. Meditating, journaling, and even sleeping can be categorized under the W-word, too, because they’re all ways to take care of yourself from the inside out.

From nonalcoholic spirits and sleep gummies to workout gear and a weighted blanket, we’ve rounded up the best wellness gift ideas that your favorite health-conscious friend will appreciate, whether they’re a wellness guru every day or just entering their Goop era.
