the wellness-coded holiday gift guide that is about to be your holy grail

the gift guide you didn't know you needed, because we need more NOT BASIC wellness guides for all the health nutty peeps we love

my loves! i wasn’t going to do a holiday gift guide this year because i feel like they’re a dime a dozen, but then i thought to myself… we need a not basic wellness-coded gift guide for the health nuts in our lives, that isn’t full of the same old shit we see everywhere else.

& this isn’t to diss the other guides because i’ve seen some great ones, but what's the point of me being your resident wellness human guinea pig if i don’t try ALL the things for us, report back, tell you what’s worth the hype and what’s not, get you discount codes, and share the deets with my crew?

and also… please tell me i’m not the only *last minute* shopper (we still have like 2.5 weeks?!) and that this is still applicable to you. because one thing i’m never gonna be, is a girly who gets her gift guide up by thanksgiving. unless i just copy and paste this next year, LOL, which maybe i should. 😂

BTW as always, we have “low to high” items on here—full saunas & pilates reformers if you have the budget and wanna go all out, down to cute gift card ideas, and more! so take what works, leave the rest!

PRICING BREAKDOWN IS: $ (super affordable) - $ (super splurgey)

also remember, you deserve to shop for you… not just the people you love. so don’t forget that as you browse on through! PS this is too long for email, so open in your substack browser!!

so, let’s get right into it. the wellness-coded holiday gift guide that is 100% gonna be your new holy grail:

ONE:

PEPTIDES.

Price range: $$$

For the: biohacking, reverse age loving, chronic illness healing, ultimate health nut whose ready to go deeper

i tell y’all about peptides every dang day. everyyyyy dang day. for good reason. they’ve changed my life.

i’ve lost 30 pounds of inflammation, i’ve all but healed my lifelong chronic illness, i have energy again, i am the mom i’ve always dreamed of being (who can actually wake up in the morning, stay out of bed, play with my kids, the whole works), and these peptides put me on A WHOLE NEW TIMELINE.

yes, i quantum leaped through peptides.

yes, you can too.

i also run a peptide group for everyone who buys through my links, and we have recently surpassed 120 women in there!! and it’s not just being changed from the inside out… it’s all of you. it’s been amazing to me. and witness. and feel. and guide through. and live alongside of you, REAL time. ✨👯‍♀️

like they’re almost SO GOOD i want to keep them to myself because they caused such an INSANE quantum leap!?!?!? but then… no. i can never gate keep. this magic is for all of us.

for your besties or yourself this holiday season, the brand that i love, trust, use myself, and have *heavily vetted* for all of us, is the way to gor!!! head to all of my peptide posts for the FULLLL breakdown of what i take, what i recommend, and why, but first thing’s first: try BPC157, GHK-Cu, and a microdosed GLP *if* it feels right for you. to see their full range of options, you have to create an account & sign in first! (bc yes, peptides are a secret club like that!)

if you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time.

TWO:

THREE:

A HOME SAUNA.

Price Range: $

For the: health loving, already has everything else, loves to detox, understands a good quality sweat, needs to relax at the end of a wild day queen who will use the sh*t out of it!

I have TWO options for you for saunas!! Both low EMF, great quality, chic and sleek, simply amazing!

A) it’s likely that you’ve heard me talk about one of the most game changing saunas of all time, the CLEARLIGHT! the benefits of infrared sauna range from detoxification to increased metabolism to healthy weight loss, muscle pain relief, skin elasticity, healing and beyond. It has been such a big piece of my healing toolkit. You can use the code BLONDE for $450 off + free shipping at healwithheat.com, and huge bonus — they are the kindest people ever. family business!!

B) my other favorite, truly they’re neck and neck so it just depends on what works better for you, is SUNLIGHTEN! right now, for the holidays, they are offering up to $2,000 off + FREE shipping + additional savings!! having a sauna in our home has been a game changer. if it’s an option for you, i can’t recommend it enough.

FOUR:

A NAMA JUICER!

Price Range: $$$

For the: wellness girly who wakes up already thinking about greens and owns more produce than shoes!!

soooo, i’m not being dramatic when i say that when i first got this years ago, this juicer changed my life. it is so easy to use, simple to clean, and doesn’t take up a counter space and a half in the kitchen — it’s just the perfect size.

juicing has been the hugest part of my health and healing journey. i love their j2 juicer, where you can juice whole produce with ease. their game-changing new technology allows you to load your entire recipe and walk away so you can multi-task in the kitchen with less prep time. use the code BLONDE for 20% off. Head here to shop! (the juicer also makes NUT MILKS & sorbets!!)

FIVE:

FREQUENCY GENERATORS

PRINCE RANGE: $$

For the: girly who is fully ready to exit the matrix and who can appreciate a good out-of-this-world moment

k so the energy muse frequency generators i mentioned a while back, i still use daily and they have radically, drastically, unbelievably changed the vibration and energy in our home.

they are currently SOLD OUT (except for the first one, bc it’s brand new!) but i’m including them all here because word on the street is that they’ll be back in stock by mid-month, and if anyone is reading this late, then i want you to see them!!!

i ALSO THINK they helped heal Delilah’s severe eczema. heather told me they would (the creator of the generators) but even *i* didn’t think that was possible, until i saw it with my own two eyes.

we have ALL of them in our house and i’ll give you a brief breakdown on each one, but here are the links to get on it!!

• 417 generator (the only one that’s not sold out as of today!!!!) - helps with stopping subconscious looping to decode belief systems from the matrix, YEP. NEXT LEVEL.

• 7.83 Frequency Generator — the Earth’s baseline frequency, otherwise known as the Schumann resonance

• 528 Frequency Generator — the love, manifestation & miracle tone

• 174 Frequency Generator — helps your body release built-up tension—the tight shoulders, heavy chest, and stress that never fully leaves

• 963 Frequency Generator — clears the mental fog and self‑doubt that cloud your thinking and reconnects you to your inner guidance. It helps your mind slow down enough for ideas and insight to come through naturally

FOR THE CHIC, BOUGIE MOM WHO KINDA ALREADY HAS EVERYTHING:

• Somavedic EMF Blocker (price range: $$$): i love my Somavedic because it creates a coherent, life-supporting field of energy that expands in a radius of 100 feet in all directions. ot mitigates EMF radiation (4G/5G, WiFi, phones), oxidative stress, free radicals, and can even harmonize and structure tap water. i keep it near my podcast equipment in the living room because trust me when i say wearing those headphones everyday is a LOT. You can use code BalancedBlonde for a discount at any time!! Shop here!!

• Bluelight Blocking Glasses (prince range: $ - $$): if you’re into mitigating the EMFs, blue light blocking glasses are also a great gift or self-gift. some of the best options i have & love are Warby Parker & DIFF Eyewear! a bit more expensive but very legit option is Bon Charge! i have a bunch of all of the above laying around in every room so that i always make sure to have them nearby! especially at night, mitigating blue light can help you sleep a lot better and help to regulate your circadian rhythm.

• LUME Box Red Light (price range: $$$): you’re looking for the best red light there, it’s LUME BOX. It is everything. My link here will get you $250 off (massive deal, righhhhttt?!) and this will change the game when it comes to skin, muscle recovery, anti-aging, cell rejuvenation, healing and injury relief, and so much more. i was designed by an MD and i find that it helps a lot with mood & energy as well as the skin and healing benefits. I also use it to light up our room at night for that red light vibe before we go to sleep!

• Koala Eco Non-Toxic Cleaning Products (price range: $ - $$): i am SO obsessed with Koala Eco it’s honestly embarrassing. 😂 their products make my whole house smell like an Australian rainforest — in the best, most grounding, aromatherapeutic way. everything is plant-based, non-toxic, biodegradable, and actually works (a rare combo). i keep bottles in every bathroom, the kitchen, the car… everywhere. If you want your home to smell like Mother Nature herself just swung by, these are a must. my forever favorite for a healthy home and a happy nervous system.

• Omnilux Red Light Mask: (price range: $$$): i will never shut up about this mask because it is that girl. omnilux is medical-grade red light therapy you can use at home, and it has totally transformed my skin — brightness, texture, fine lines, inflammation… all of it. i use it while i’m journaling, meditating, making matcha, literally anytime i want to feel like a futuristic spa version of myself. if you want that “i sleep eight hours and drink a gallon of spring water a day” glow without actually doing all of that… this is the one.

• Hume Health Body Pod: (price range: $$–$$$): for the: self-care lover, healing-body champion, “listen to my body, it’s sacred” human. (THEY OFTEN HAVE GREAT DEALS HAPPENING.) i love this one because it’s not just a scale — it’s basically your home body scan + wellness check all in one. the body pod uses bioelectrical impedance to analyze body fat, muscle mass, water levels, bone density, visceral fat, even metabolic rate and other health metrics. it’s perfect for someone who’s serious about tracking their healing, transformation, or body reset (especially if you’ve been through chronic-illness, fatigue, or health journey upgrades). for me? it’s become a tool for gentle accountability and self-love, not shame. i step on it, and it reminds me of how far i’ve come rather than how far i have to go.

• A custom birth chart necklace: (price range: $$): your bestie’s exact natal chart engraved onto a chic, minimalist pendant. not kitschy — elevated. it’s like wearing your soul map. she’ll cry. this is one of my faves!!

• A reusable glass straw + bamboo cutlery set (for on-the-go wellness): (price range: $). For the: eco-friendly, hydration-girlie, zero-waste mama. It’s lightweight, practical, and aligned with a clean-living vibe — plus super useful for everyday use. minimal, thoughtful, and budget conscious.

• of course, my beloved Lola blankets. wrapped in TWO (not one, two lol) right now <3

• A legit, full, at-home pilates reformer: (prince range: $): i know, this is next level. but i promised i’d include ALL options up in here. i am so in love with this reformer it’s honestly become a personality trait. & YES, i’m DOING A GIVEAWAY THIS WEEK!! your reformer basically brings a boutique pilates studio into your home — smooth carriage, amazing resistance, super sturdy, and actually beautiful (which matters when it’s living in your house lol). it’s perfect for beginners and seasoned pilates girlies alike, and my core strength has gone through the roof since using it consistently. if pilates is part of your wellness era for 2025, this is the investment that will change everything. i use mine daily and swear by it.

  

FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS JUST HAD A BABY:

• Dr. Green Mom tinctures & supplements, both for immunity & to use when sick. I use her stuff religiously & my kids hardly ever get sick. Dr. Mayer is a naturopathic medical doctor and an expert in nutrition and wellness—she’s amazing, also check her out on IG!

• Somavedic EMF harmonizer, this is what I swear by. We have them in every room. Use my code BalancedBlonde15 for a discount, or just simply follow this link! It structures water and mitigates the effects of 3G, 4G, 5G, EMFs, free radicals, and geopathic zones. I know they are pricey so if you’re just going to get one… put it as close to your child’s crib/bassinet as possible!

• Canopy humidifier, my favorite for healthy skin, wellbeing, and air quality! So good for kids with eczema especially. code BALANCED for 10% off!!

• Salt rock lamp, provides the best room vibe & is great for air quality and calming effects.

• Pipette shampoo & body wash (and Pipette eczema cream, which is frequently out of stock but we swear by it)

• Posh Peanut pajamas, super cute, all diff sizes and patterns, made without irritants, bamboo fabric!

BABY & TODDLER & KID CLOTHES:

• Rylee & Cru, this has been my favorite brand to buy baby & toddler clothes for both Atticus & Delilah! i also have a special code for you, which i have personally used so many times. Code BALANCED at checkout will get you 25% off your first purchase! they have the cutest stuff & it’s all non-toxic, family owned, and adorable.

• Elwood!!!! OMG, my kids LIVE in Elwood and there is nothing cuter, chicer, cooler, more “on brand” for a beach livin’, street style lovin’, cool AF kid and their parents!

• Ziggy Zaza!! Attie & Delilah basically dress exclusively in Ziggy Zaza, I need to get a code from them. They are EVERYTHING.

• Kyte Baby everything! with both kids i’ve gone on full shopping sprees from before they were born until basically they grow out of it, especially for onesies (both long sleeve and short sleeve) and all things sleep.

• Pehr everything, especially their cute lil’ swimsuits

• Honest Baby Clothes (GOTS certified) for when you just need to throw something on for sleep or that you know is going to get spit-uppy quickly (not that it’s not cute, I just find their stuff to be more basic overall)

• Burt’s Bees (GOTS certified), same as the above

• Caden Lane, made of 95% Bamboo viscose and 5% Spandex. Their materials are all tested for chemicals mainly phthalates and are also flame retardant free. I love their knotted gowns for newborns & matching stuff for mom & baby!

• Hanna Andersson, the literal OG & their stuff is the comfiest and cutest. Especially for newborns.

• for newborns, it’s always nice to get a few packs of short sleeve & long sleeve onesies they can lounge around the house in & just to always have on hand—when they’re super little, you aren’t really dressing them for the world yet… just for practicality! except for photo ops, obviously. ;)

BOOKS FOR THE READER BABES (price range $):

• The Celestine Prophecy — a metaphysical adventure novel exploring energy, synchronicity, and spiritual insights. A beautiful “awakening” read for someone curious about path + purpose.

• The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself — while technically nonfiction, it reads like spiritual literature. It gently guides you toward inner peace, presence, and self-liberation — ideal for anyone on a healing or growth journey.

• The Song of Achilles — mythic, beautiful, emotional — a retelling steeped in gods, destiny, and human heartache. For the spiritual-romantic soul who loves myth + mythology.

• The Prophet — lyrical, poetic, meditative. A classic collection of poetic essays on life, love, faith, and humanity — perfect for quiet nights and deep reflection.

• A Dark and Secret Magic — a newer, fiction-forward pick blending magic, mystery, and spiritual vibes — good for someone who likes subtle mysticism with a modern twist.
