I f we were to strip away what

constitutes a gift — the material,

the structure, the elements —

we would come to its true nature:

a gift, at its absolute essence, is a

moment of kindness.

Gifts come in many forms. Whether

spoken or thought, tangible or ephemeral,

handmade or bought, they all hold a

unique expression of kindness. Whatever

the gift may be, the words “I thought of

you” are what’s truly being said. This is

almost always more powerful than the

gift itself and, if that item is given with

intention and presence, this message

becomes clear.

When it comes to buying gifts,

especially at Christmas, we’re given the

chance to be wise and thoughtful with

our choices. A gift should be so much

more than just a material object with

bright colours, loud sounds and wasteful

packaging. It should share wisdom,

convey a gift’s true message and be a

reflection of how much we appreciate

each other and our planet.

With the true nature of gifting in mind,

I warmly welcome you to the inaugural

WellBeing Gift Guide.

It is here you’ll find a beautiful

collection of health and wellness gifts

that have been hand-picked and loved

by us at WellBeing. From ethical clothing

and sustainable yoga mats to gorgeous

candles and oils, natural skincare

products and delicious raw chocolate,

you’ll discover quality, eco-friendly and

precious gifts for all.

With your gift, inspire a friend, lover,

parent or neighbour to walk alongside

you on this path of health and wellbeing.

Together, you’ll tread lightly across

the planet and meet each moment

with presence and each person with

compassion in your heart.

Give kindness,

Kate
