Holiday Gift Ideas for the Natural Home and Kitchen

Let the holiday season begin!

Want to stay out of the crowded malls and stay in your cozy warm home sipping on some hot chocolate? I know I do! I prefer to do my holiday shopping in the comfort of my home.

Holidays Gift Ideas for the Natural Home and Kitchen

Himalayan Natural Crystal Salt Tealight Candle Holder

My family loves this natural salt candle holder. It’s a lovely addition to a dining room table, bedroom or anywhere else in the home. One of the things I love about Himalayan salt crystals is that they are known for helping clean the air in the home. They’re also known for helping create a positive energy in the room too. Plus they’re so pretty!

Himalayan Salt Lamp

I love these Himalayan salt lamps, they are so beautiful. I have one in my daughter’s room {she loves it as a night light} and we have a tea light candle holder on our dinner table. When heated, they are known to release negative ions to help purify the air.

GermGuardian True HEPA Home Air Purifier

This is one thing I think every home should have. Now that I’ve been through 3 toxic mold homes, I can’t stress enough how important clean indoor air quiaty is. It’s very important to use a True HEPA air purifier, others just don’t work. This particular model helps eliminate airborne bacteria, viruses, germs and mold. It’s a must have in all homes in my humble opinion.

Instant Pot

Want the perfect roast in no time? Bone broth in hours? Perfectly cooked cheesecake every single time? Easy-peeling hard boiled eggs in minutes? The BEST applesauce in 3 minutes?! The Instant Pot is an awesome kitchen tool. It’s an electric pressure cooker, but can also act as a slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, warmer, sauté pan + more. And it just happens to be one of MY FAVORITE kitchen tools! I love it so much that I’ve written TWO Instant Pot Cookbooks! Look for my second cookbook, Mexican Cooking with Your Instant Pot to be released in January 2019 or preorder yours now!

My Cookbook! The Art of Great Cooking with Your Instant Pot

If you’re grabbing yourself an Instant Pot, go ahead and get yourself a copy of my cookbook too! It ranked #4 in Amazon’s Top 10 New Releases in Gluten Free Recipes upon release! It’s full of delicious recipes that are naturally gluten free (many are Paleo and Primal-friendly, some are low carb-friendly, most are egg-free, lots are dairy-free although you will find dairy in some of the recipes but can make adjustments for your dietary needs in most of them). You won’t find any processed foods in my cookbook, just healthier, real food ingredients. I’ve had rave reviews from lots of readers about the Asian Pear Korean-Braised Short Ribs, Sauerkraut-Apple Pork Roast, Citrus-Herb Basque Chicken, Beef Picadillo Chili with Sweet Raisins, Caramelized Mushroom & Onion Crustless Quiche and the Lemon-Thyme Ricotta Cheesecake.

DefenderPad Laptop EMF Radiation & Heat Shield

I don’t know about you, but I spend a lot of time on the computer {kind of a given … the whole blogger thing}. I’m guessing if you’re reading this, you spend some time on the computer too. And I’m guessing you know that laptop computers release invisible high frequency radiation {EMFs = electromagnetic fields}. This laptop shield helps block the radiation and reduce heat. This is what I use and I love it! I notice a huge difference compared to having nothing on my computer.

Dry Brush

I can’t say enough good things about dry brushing. If you’re new to dry brushing, it’s a wonderful tool for wellness as it stimulates the lymphatic system. Dry brushing is so easy to do + it’s a wonderful addition to your daily wellness routine. It helps soften and smooth the skin too + many say it’s great for helping smooth cellulite. All you need is a good dry brush to get started.

Konjac Activated Charcoal Eco-Friendly Facial Sponge

Ditch the toxic skin care products and use an activated charcoal natural sponge for your face care routine instead. It’s great for all skin types, gently exfoliates, cleanses, helps balance the skin’s pH + it’s known for helping remove impurities.

The Gift of Wellness – Essential Oils + Diffuser + 1:1 Support from Me

Essential oils are life changing and can be a huge part of your wellness journey. When you buy a Young Living Premium Starter Kit, you get 11 popular essential oils – Lavender, Peppermint, Lemon, Frankincense, PanAway, Thieves, Citrus Fresh, Copaiba, Raven and DiGize.

Perfect Supplements Hydrolyzed Collagen

I love this grass-fed collagen! My family uses it daily as a wellness + gut-healing supplement. Like gelatin, it’s known for its health benefits of improving gut health, dental health, joint health and building stronger bones. Awesome, right?! It’s also a wonderful quick protein that is easy to digest and dissolves in cold or warm liquids. This is always my husband’s go-to after workouts for a quick protein boost. I add it to smoothies, hot chocolate, homemade ice cream, muffins, baked treats + more. It’s great to use during illness too – it was a life saver for me during the stomach flu when I couldn’t eat anything.

Ancient Organics Ghee

This is one of my favorite ghee‘s! It’s organic + comes from 100% pastured grass-fed cows. This healthy fat is delicious and has the aroma of caramel. It’s a wonderful addition to the real food kitchen.

Pure Indian Foods Grass-fed Organic Ghee

This is my other favorite ghee. It’s handcrafted by a wonderful family that has been in the ghee business for 5-generations. This ghee is made from from non-homogenized grass-fed cow’s milk from springtime thru the fall and tastes delicious.

Microplane

This is one of the first kitchen tools I ever bought. I have had this for over 10 years and it still works perfectly. I usually use this to make lemon + lime zest and to grate ginger. It’s also great for hard cheeses … it makes the most beautiful, fluffy, light pillows of grated cheese – perfect for garnishing dishes with.

Microplane Course Grater

I use this all the time. It’s perfect for grating hard cheese like raw parmesan, for grating garlic {which I usually do for almost every dinner, I prefer this to mincing or chopping garlic} … and of course, for grating chocolate, yum!

Oster ECO DuraCeramic Belgian Waffle Maker

Sweet or savory, waffles are so much fun! They can make a morning breakfast extra special + can act as the bread for a savory sandwich. I love that this waffle maker has a natural ceramic coating that is free of PTFE & PFOA chemicals. 

Pyrex Mixing Bowls

I love these glass mixing bowls. They won’t stain or absorb odors, they are freezer safe, come with lids for easy food storage, and have so many uses.

Zyliss Everyday Knives with Blade Covers

I LOVE these knives for everyday kitchen use. One of my favorite things about these knives is that they come with blade covers. They are perfect for traveling too – whether you’re having a picnic or an on-the-go lunch, you won’t have to worry about them with their handy covers.

Taza Chocolate Mexicano Chocolate Disc Sampler

My family loves these chocolates, especially melted in hot chocolate. TAZA chocolate is organic, stone ground {like traditional Mexican chocolate} and made with healthier ingredients than the traditional version. It has this lovely gritty texture that adds a yummy little crunch. This sampler comes with Cinnamon, Vanilla, Guajillo Chili, Salt & Pepper, Orange, Chipotle Chili, Ginger and Cacao Puro.

Equal Exchange Organic Chocolate Caramel Crunch with Sea Salt

Chocolate again … yes, I love chocolate and this is my favorite chocolate bar. My family loves this organic + fair trade brand. They have some delicious flavors, but the caramel crunch with sea salt is my favorite. My kiddos love this one too.

Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer

This is one of my all-time favorite kitchen tools! I love this standing mixer so much. It’s wonderful for all your mixing + baking needs. It helps makes the best homemade marshmallows, homemade whipped cream, buttercream frosting + more. It’s great for beating, whipping + making the perfect dough.

Tovolo Silicone Spatulas

So colorful … these add a lovely pop of color to your kitchen tools. They’re perfect for mixing, scraping, flipping + spreading and they’re BPA-free too.

Tovolo Perfect Cube Ice Trays

These ice cube trays make the absolute best ice cubes! I LOVE them! Fill them up with filtered water and you’ll get a perfect square cube. They work great for other things too like freezing bone broth, homemade baby food, frozen lemonade, homemade fudge, etc.

Miyabi Morimoto Fusion 8 inch Chef’s Knife

I LOVE this knife! I believe every kitchen should have at least one professional quality, sharp chef’s knife. I use this knife for everything daily. It’s super sharp + cuts perfectly. It’s beautiful too … it has stunning watermark layers of flower damascus design.

Lodge Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

I had always wanted a dutch oven to cook with. They have that old-fashioned feel to me. I’ve never had the budget to buy a high-end dutch oven, so I stumbled upon these when searching for a less expensive version {but still high-quality}. I LOVE my beautiful bright blue dutch oven. It’s so pretty that I actually leave it out on my counter, something so pretty should not be stored in a cabinet. But back to it’s function … it works beautifully + is perfect for stews, roasts, and even making homemade bread.

Cuisinart Food Processor

I love my food processor. I have had it for years and it’s still in great shape. I grew up watching my mom use hers all the time and quickly learned how to use it to prepare so many things. This is absolutely a must-have for kitchens.

Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker

I got my ice cream maker as a gift when I graduated from college many years ago. I’m still using it + love it. There’s nothing better than homemade ice cream. I make it all the time during the summer and still use it during the colder months too. Ice cream is good year-round in my opinion.

Tovolo Ice Cream Freezer Tub

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I LOVE homemade ice cream! It’s nice having freezer safe ice cream containers to store homemade ice cream. I love these Glide-A-Scoop containers that help get the perfect scoop. If you’re looking for a great ice cream maker, this is the one that I use and love.

Stainless Steel Straws

My family loves these stainless steel straws. In fact, my youngest pretty much refuses to drink anything without one. You don’t have to worry about any toxic plastic and hormone disruptors leaching into your body with stainless steel. They’re reusable so you don’t harm the environment throwing away a bunch of straws. They come with a handy cleaning tool and are dishwasher safe too. Perfect for on-the-go drinks and those with kiddos who love to use straws. Adults love them too!

Life Factory Glass Bottle

Skip the plastic and choose these pretty glass bottles instead. They’re perfect for on-the-go drinks. They are dishwasher safe too.

These eco-friendly reusable stainless steel containers are great for keeping your lunch hot or cold on-the-go. Great for school lunches, taking lunch to work, day traveling and picnics.

These silicone molds are so fun! They have cute little insects, animals, and other characters. They’re perfect for making homemade gummies or homemade chocolates.

These are my favorite on-the-go stainless steel lunch containers. I use a set for my daughter for her school lunches + I use them when I need to pack an on-the-go lunch. My toddler also thinks they make a great play toy.

Cotton Canvas Ecofriendly Tote Bag

These are great reusable and washable bags. Perfect for the grocery store or farmers market trips.

Naturally Healthy Babies and Children

This is one of my favorite books … a must-have in my opinion for anyone with kids. In the book, Aviva Romm, a well-known doctor, herbalist and author covers common health issues {from anemia to whooping cough} for babies, children and adolescents. She uses the whole-child approach integrating herbal remedies, holistic health, nutrition, hygiene, home environment and more. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book.
