Comforting candles? Check. Sleep trackers? Check. Gifts that’ll make life a little easier next year? Check, check, & check. While you’re at it, check out our holiday guides for the best gifts from Latin-owned brands and the best cookbooks by Latin chefs.

The body always knows what it needs and when it needs it most — you might just need a hand in figuring out which are the wellness tools and items to gift yourself and the ones you love for the 2024 holiday season, offering everyone’s self-care practices a boost in the new year. Whether you are craving movement, either physical or mental, some sunshine, or above all, a moment of self tending-to as the bustle of responsibilities of everyday life take up most of your attention, the ultimate source to help keep that engine going all lies in your wellbeing. 

Gadgets tailored to learning the ins and outs of your sleep cycle or optimizing your state of rest might do the trick. Or, something as unexpected as shuffling through a deck of cards full of daily affirmations will do you good. This holiday season, focus in on the wellness tools and practices that stimulate your skin and senses or simply put, make moments of self-care all the more ritualistic. From Latin-owned and minority-owned wellness brands to the best in sleep tech and lymphatic drainage tools to come by, here’s what to shop on the wellness front.

1. Tronque Ionic Body Dry Brush ($70, Shop on Neiman Marcus)

Not to exaggerate but, if you’ve ever been skeptical about the humble dry brush or haven’t seemed to find a reason for trying one out, everything changes once you do. Simply put: I’ve pushed my coffee intake back an hour in the morning thanks to the burst of energy that fills me up after I dry brush my entire body (even the palms of my hands) with the Tronque dry brush post-shower. Look out for those lymphatic portals throughout the body and make sure you’re brushing upward or outwards towards them. This dry brush is firm, dense, and powerful, stroking the skin with firm copper brush bristles that are ion-charged and beautifully exfoliate and, tone the skin, and of course, enhance your energy and better circulation.
