<p>We’re just a few sleeps away from Christmas, and if you’re anything like us, our schedules are booked and busy playing Santa for our nearest and dearest. Whether they’ve been naughty or nice (or both!), our loved ones deserve the best treats this season—picks that truly make them feel how loved and appreciated they are. And no, these gifts don’t need to be wallet-drainers! They can, in fact, be cost-efficient yet creative at the same time.</p><p>For this year’s <strong>Wellness Holiday Gift Guide</strong>, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite discoveries from small businesses and start-ups. They’re good for your wellbeing, they support proudly Filipino products, and they’re overall good for the soul! Check them out:</p><div><strong><br/></strong></div><p><strong></strong>1. <strong></strong>Give a slow tea party from <strong></strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicetea.world" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>NiCETEA</strong></a></p><div><strong></strong></div><p>In a day and age of ultra-processed bottled drinks masquerading as &quot;healthy&quot; drinks, we&#x27;ve discovered a slow tea brand, NiCETEA, which aims to offer healthy, delicious tea-based drinks for your personal enjoyment or your next get-together. Brewed fresh per order, these teas use alternative sweeteners like monk fruit instead of white sugar, as well as real tea leaves for the ultimate tea experience. They come in cute, clear cans that make for great party companions. Swapping jitters for joy, that&#x27;s NiCETEA!

Treat someone to a relaxing treatment from<strong> Payapa Spa</strong></p><p>One spa that&#x27;s been making the rounds on social media is Payapa Spa, a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation. With branches in Makati, Quezon City, and Paranaque, Payapa Spa offers its signature massages and treatments for clients seeking a safe refuge amidst the bustling city. Some of their special massages you could give are the Banayad Body Scrub, Dalisay Lymphatic Drainage Massage, and the Aruga Pre-natal Massage for soon-to-be moms! Not to mention their interiors are really cozy and chic—truly a perfect space to escape.

Give the gift of adaptogens from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ninma.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Ninma</strong></a></p><div><strong></strong></div><p>For most people, traditional medicines are their go-to for ailments. But for some, going the alternative medicine route is key to vibrant health. Enter: Ninma. This brand is focused on natural, wildcrafted, organic, small-batch herbalist-formulated Eastern + Western plant medicine. Not usually seen on the shelves of conventional drug stores, Ninma prides itself on powerful therapeutic formulas such as this set: Triple Rhizome Tonic, Elderberry Syrup, Protego, and Lymph Flush—all meant to work hand in hand for the body&#x27;s immune system, most especially this busy holiday season. Order <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ninma.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong></strong><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1765621698533Ninma.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Ninma</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>4. Treat a loved one to a day of wellness at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/moestheticsclinic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>MOESTHETICS Clinic</strong></a></p><div><strong></strong></div><p>We recently discovered Moesthetics Clinic in BF Homes, Paranaque, and we couldn&#x27;t stop talking about it! The haven for wellness offers amazing treatments that could be great gift ideas, such as IV Drip sessions, an ExoMind session for a healthy mind and better sleep, a colon cleanse for a healthy gut, and even a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber for better oxygen absorption.

Gift someone a cold-pressed juice subscription from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/purepantryph" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Pure Pantry</strong></a></p><div><strong></strong></div><p>Instead of giving processed, sugary gifts, why not help a loved one get healthier with cold-pressed juices? With the amount of stress we&#x27;re experiencing from this always-on lifestyle, we need backup from a healthy diet. Pure Pantry is a cafe that specializes in nutritious, nourishing drinks and dishes, but what we&#x27;re obsessed with is their lineup of juices, especially their <strong>Vitalis Shots </strong>(ginger, orange, lemon, apple, turmeric, and black pepper) for immunity, as well as the <strong>Stay Golden</strong> and <strong>ABC Boost </strong>juices. You can choose from a 1, 3, or 5-day juice subscription program <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DRj79cTDkEu/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.<strong></strong></p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1765622115508Pure Pantry.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Pure Pantry<br/></span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>6. Treat someone to natural, local goodies from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ritualph" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Ritual</strong></a><strong></strong></p><p>As someone who is trying to be more sustainable in her ways, discovering Ritual was a godsend. Their beautiful store at the Karrivin building in Makati offers a wide array of local, heritage, and organic products that don&#x27;t use plastic. They also offer product refills, which is a great perk. We love their green cleaning gift set, which serves as a great pick for homemakers.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1765622383673Ritual.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Ritual</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>7. Give the gift of a <em>tita</em> essential from<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bathgems/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Bath Gems</strong></a></p><p>Everyone would appreciate a small gift that&#x27;s meant to bring relief from common symptoms like dizziness, headaches, or colds. Bath Gems offers its original concoction: Relief Liniment, made from natural ingredients like virgin coconut oil, beeswax, menthol, camphor, and essential oils. It&#x27;s a no-brainer, great gift idea for co-workers or your <em>barkada</em>!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1765622775334Bath Gems.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Bath Gems</span></span></span></div>
