FitBIt + other Fitness Trackers | $30 and up
Wearable wellness trackers like the FitBit Charge 3 aren’t just work for workout buffs. These trackers not only log our activity, they also let us see how we can improve our sleep, our nutrition, and even give us feedback on our heartrate – and therefore stress levels – throughout the day.
Juice Bar Weekly Delivery Subscription | $50 and up
Juice bars like The Green Fork make it easy with weekly delivery of freshly-pressed juices. Juices are all made to order so gift recipients can customize exactly what they want. Delivery is M-W between 5:30-6:30am; juices are $9 to $11 per 16-ounce bottle; delivery fee is $10
Molly’s rec: Have a week’s worth of juices delivered once a week to save on delivery. Put the first 2-3 days’ worth directly into fridge and freeze the rest.
