23 Mindfulness Gift Ideas for the Holidays

The beauty of meditation and mindfulness is that they don’t require, well, anything. It’s simply you, working with your mind. But that doesn’t mean that people who practice mindfulness and meditation don’t enjoy receiving gifts! The following are gifts for meditators that any of your mindful-minded loved ones can enjoy.

How to Give Gifts Mindfully

Giving gifts at the holidays is a way to express our affection for the people in our lives. Culturally it serves to strengthen our connections within our community. And, let’s be honest: This exchange can be as uplifting for the giver as it is for the recipient, triggering a release of feel-good hormones.

Yet feeling obligated to buy gifts without meaning can just leave us empty. Even worse is when we consider the environmental impacts of all that packaging and wrapping— the mindless consumption is enough to want to skip the holidays altogether.

However, it is possible to tune into something more heartfelt to express your appreciation this season through a mindful approach to gift-giving.

When it comes to choosing holiday gifts for the meditators in your life, you can’t go wrong with a gift that gives back — ‘tis always the season to support a steady mind, social good, and respect for our planet.  The list below features a few of our favorite gift ideas that hit these marks.

Numi Flowering Tea Set

Flowering tea is a sensory mindful delight. It starts with heating the water to the perfect temperature (don’t boil!), then witnessing the flower blossom unfurl and release its bouquet of aromas, and finally, enjoying the delicate tea created. This pretty gift set from organic tea producer Numi includes six flowering tea bundles and a reusable, dishwasher-safe glass pot.

We admit, these journals had us at the name. Made from the fibrous pulp of animal droppings, and blended with other waste products like coconut shells, these are probably the most sustainable non-paper paper products ever. Better still: They’re totally beautiful. Perfect for journaling, recording insights from meditation practice, or just to have on hand for everyday note-taking.

Isn’t it frustrating to bring reusable bags to the grocery store, only to realize that the produce is soaking wet, and you need to use one of those flimsy plastic bags to carry your veggies?

EHome Meditation Chime

Remember how we said you don’t need anything to meditate? Well, one tradition that we love is to ring a chime to signal the start of your practice, and again to end it. This bell chime, with a 10-second echo, does the job nicely.

Bean Products Buckwheat Hull + Organic Cotton Meditation Cushion

A good seated posture is essential for meditation practice. You should be able to sit still for a while, in an upright and alert posture with your hips positioned slightly higher than your knees to support the natural curve of your spine. Meditation cushions, called zafus, are designed for this posture. The best offer a firm but comfortable seat, and are just high enough to encourage proper hip-knee alignment. This cushion from Bean Products includes a mat (zabuton) for additional knee support.
