This year,聽国产吃瓜黑料 launched a new Health column, Well Spent, where our staffers and writers gush聽over their favorite wellness products. And gush they did. From a聽favorite coffee to聽a cure-all聽CBD balm, we鈥檝e rounded up the lot to give you聽an easy gift guide for your wellness-focused loved ones.
Sachi Organics Rejuvenation Pillow ($96)聽

Filled with wool and buckwheat hulls, helped audience development director Jenny Earnest ease her unexplainable neck pain. It鈥檚 fully customizable as well: just remove some of the stuffing聽to make the pillow softer. Another bonus for hot sleepers: 鈥淭he buckwheat hulls provide better ventilation than other materials, meaning no head sweats鈥攅ven in the dead of summer,鈥 she wrote.听
Lazarus Naturals CBD Balm ($16)聽

This would make a great stocking stuffer for hard-charging athletes. Associate editor Abbie Barronian used it throughout last year鈥檚 ski season to quell aches and pains. 鈥淔or the first time since 2017, I didn鈥檛 have to pause my ski season to let the inflammation in my ankles subside. I鈥檓 convinced the balm had something to do with it, along with dedicated icing, stretching, mobility work, and ski boots modified to fit my weird feet,鈥 she wrote. The Portland Rose balm is 鈥渇ragrant without being overbearing,鈥 helping mask the aftermath of epic days on the slopes.听
Laird Instafuel Instant Coffee ($27 for 16 Ounces)聽

Reviews editor and self-proclaimed coffee snob Jeremy Rellosa was won over by smooth profile, semisweet taste, and nutritional makeup. 鈥淲ith 13 grams of carbohydrates per serving, it keeps me satiated until lunchtime when paired with a light breakfast,鈥 he wrote. It鈥檚 perfect for the always-on-the-go athlete.听
Howard Leight Women Earplugs ($8 for 14)聽

For fitful sleepers, I recommend聽, which are specifically designed to fit smaller ear canals. With a noise-reduction rating of 30 decibels, I鈥檝e聽never gone a night without them for more than ten years.听鈥淢ade with softer materials than other brands, they were actually comfortable, and they rarely fell out, thanks to their compact size,鈥 I wrote in my review.听
ProsourceFit Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set ($24)

After trying chiropractic care, acupuncture, yoga, and physical therapy to help treat her mild scoliosis, associate managing editor Aleta Burchyski bought on a recommendation from a friend. It has helped her mobility and eased her discomfort, thanks to 7,992 spikes that provide a聽鈥渟ensation best described as fiery, with a smattering of yikes,鈥 soon followed by 鈥渁 gentle buzzing warmth as blood flow increases,鈥 she wrote.听
