As we move into the holiday season, it’s the perfect time to show those around us just how much we’ve appreciated them throughout the year. For the fitness fanatic and zen goddesses in your life, we’ve curated a handful of gift ideas to put under the Christmas tree of your loved ones.
The outdoor adventurer
With new features that cater to the pursuit of extreme sports, the bigger and better Apple Watch Ultra is designed for the adventure seeker. One of the latest features launched just ahead of the holidays is the Oceanic+ app, which turns the gadget into a handy dive computer. Users can now take the watch to depths of up to 40 meters and have access to a full range of dive stats at their fingertips.
The stylish athlete
Keep your favourite running partner warm this year with Lululemon’s Down For It All hoodie and its collection of lightweight winterwear. The brand also offers a full range of athleisurewear that caters to yoga, training and the outdoors.
The corporate gym rat
Instead of a complicated chronograph, sometimes the best way to keep track of time is with a simple, small seconds watch. NOMOS NOMOS Glashütte's Club Sport neomatik watch is water resistant up to 20 bars and is powered by an ultra-thin movement; its slim case and versatile design make it ideal for those who split time between the office and the gym.
The zen seeker
There’s nothing more relaxing than a bit of stretching or a few rounds of breathing exercises with a bright scent and the warm flickering glow of a candle in the background. French fragrance house Diptyque launches a trio of holiday scents housed inside limited-edition holiday-themed jars. The three fragrances, Pine Tree, Neige, and Étincelles, evoke the spirit of the festive season with their pine, musk and cocoa hints.
The jet-setter
Do you know someone who never slows down and is always working on their body, even on the road? Fluid X’s range of water weights might be the perfect present for them. Available in various sizes, the unstable water-weight bags, which work similarly to weights and barbells, can be easily emptied before packing into a suitcase and refilled at the destination. The Hong Kong-based brand has also created a series of YouTube workouts to help you train better.
