Ayurveda Every Day With Talya’s Holiday Gift Guide 2019!

The Best Gift Ideas for Ayurveda Enthusiasts

There are so many reasons to be in love with Ayurveda…

Hi! Giving gifts is one of my love languages. So I love the end of the holiday season – when there are so many ways and reasons to give.

With the holidays right around the corner now, I bet your wheels are turning over what kind of gifts you’ll give this year. The season of gift shopping is upon us, after all! Here is my Ayurvedic holiday gift guide 2019 to get you started!

Choosing “the most awesome presents ever!” might not come naturally to you. So I want to help you pick out presents the people you shop for will love.

If there’s a yoga lover, wellness seeker, or Ayurveda enthusiast in your life and you want to find the perfect present for him or her, I’m here to help!

How to find the perfect holiday gift this year

I’ve gathered the best natural holiday gift ideas I could think of in my holiday gift guide 2019.

And I’ve stocked my proverbial stocking with a variety of goodies any healthy lifestyle fanatic will freak for (and be so happy to receive).

I promise you’ll find something for every health-conscious loved one on your shopping list with my yoga and Ayurveda-inspired gift ideas! I believe that showing interest in their wishes, dreams, and goals is such a beautiful gesture of love.

So thanks for reading this and making an effort to learn! It really means a lot.

NOTE: If YOU’RE the one crazy for Ayurveda… forward this guide to the people who love you! Make it easy on them and let them know what you want! : )

Eighteen years into a life-long obsession with Ayurveda, I spend most of my days drowning in Ayurvedic goodness. Plus, I’ve been a yoga devotee since 1993! So trust that I’m well versed at giving yoga and Ayurveda as gifts.

Let’s keep things simple, real, and awesome. Without further ado, here are the best gift ideas for your favorite yoga and Ayurveda enthusiasts in 2019!

Easy Ayurveda Stocking Stuffers

What will fit in a stocking and make your Ayurveda enthusiast squeal with delight? These things…!

Homemade Organic Ghee!

Ghee is a “superfood” of Ayurvedic nutrition, overflowing with health benefits. Also known as clarified butter, ghee is clean, sweet, warm and light to taste. You use it exactly as you would butter and it stores at room temperature. Find it here!

Ghee is the perfect gift for the Ayurveda lover in your life

Delicious Herbal Coffee Alternatives!

We’ve got a couple of herbal coffee alternatives we love at Ayurveda Every Day With Talya…

Coffee Fix is a rich, full-bodied, instant herbal coffee substitute. With gorgeous warmth and flavor (minus the caffeine, acidity, or bitterness) it offers the convenience and gratification of an instant, hot water-soluble beverage. Just add hot water and it’s ready!

RASA Koffee is our other favorite way to upgrade a morning coffee ritual, enjoy calm energy, boost stress resilience, and feel more awesome overall! RASA is a delicious adaptogenic herbal “coffee” that’s packed with great-tasting adaptogenic (i.e. adrenal-loving) herbs.

Sacred Self-Massage Tools!

When you practice Ayurveda, you quickly learn how important it is to keep your body moving and your lymphatic fluids healthy. I have the right tool in my shop! And I am including it into my holiday gift guide 2019! How does one keep your lymphatic fluids healthy, you ask? With sacred self-massage tools!

Whether it’s with a Dry Brush, Gua Sha, Kansa Wand, FasciaBlasterTM, or Warm Oil Abhyanga, sacred self-massage tools go SO far when it comes to maintaining excellent health – especially as we move into the heaviest season of the year – winter.

Cookbooks!

When it comes time to change and upgrade your diet, if you don’t know how to prepare the food that Ayurveda recommends, you’re at a stop. No-fuss Ayurvedic cookbooks make it no-excuses and super easy to live the Ayurvedic lifestyle through food.

Every Ayurveda enthusiast should have this book! Cooking really is the art of Ayurveda. And of course, that’s wrapped up with the lifestyle. Ayurveda is a life science and a lifestyle.

Nasya Oil: Nature’s Defense For Ears, Nose, and Throat!

A must for any all-natural first aid kit, Nasya Oil is a blend of ghee (clarified butter), sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. The one I make is warming, immune-boosting, and deeply protective.

Nasya oil lubricates nasal mucous membranes, helps relieve dryness and removes obstacles that may be the cause of frequent allergies and head colds. It’s a great preventative remedy to use while camping or when spending time in polluted, dusty, smoky, high-allergen areas.

Happiness is not a destination. It's a way of life

Chyawanprash

Sometimes spelled Chyavanprash – this an herbal Ayurvedic “Rasayana” or herbal jam on the top of any Ayurveda enthusiast’s list of “must try.” Fun fact: Rasayanas are how herbs are traditionally prepared and preserved in Ayurvedic medicine!

“The word Rasayana literally means, “any substance that helps to bring about the rejuvenation of your youthful mental and physical energy.” – Ayurvedic Rasyanas. And that’s what Ayurvedic living is all about!

My favorite Chyawanprash contains a giant handful of immune-boosting, rejuvenating herbs that stimulate metabolism and ignite healthy digestive fire – without aggravating fiery constitutions. I think of Chyawanprash as a tridoshic, stress-relieving, adaptogenic jam.

It’s truly delicious on toast or in tea!

Ayurveda and Yoga Holiday Gift Giving Guide 2019

Now some years, buying gifts is out of your budget and you’d rather make something from scratch instead. Been there, done that – so I’ve got your back.
Here’s a recipe for tried and true, homemade Ayurvedic treats everyone loves!
Put a handful in your cutest cellophane treat bag and top it with a bow. Bam! Holiday gift awesomeness!

Butterscotch Balls

VP-K+
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Yield: About 30 cookies
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup non-fat dried milk powder or dried goat milk powder
½ cup raw honey or coconut nectar
2 heaping Tablespoons ghee (clarified butter) or coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla, plus 1/2 teaspoon almond or maple Extract
1 ½ teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger powder
¼ teaspoon ground tulsi or cardamom
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 drop rose, citrus, or cardamom essential oil, optional
1/4 cup slivered almonds
½ cup fresh cranberries, optional
15 fresh mint leaves, optional
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. On a clean, ungreased cookie sheet, mix the coconut and milk powder. Spread evenly across the cookie sheet. Bake for ten minutes, or until the mixture has turned to a golden color. Pour into a large bowl. Immediately add the honey, ghee, vanilla, spices and optional essential oil. Use your hands to combine the batter – make sure everything’s well mixed. If your batter’s too dry, add a little more honey or ghee until you get the perfect consistency for the batter to stick. It’s ok if the batter is a little oily. Roll into one-inch balls. Press a slivered almond into each one. Garnish Butterscotch Balls with optional cranberries and mint. Keep these beauties stored in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve (or gift) them. These cookies are adorable, nourishing and wonderfully sweet.

Give The Gift of Health

When you give from your heart, you’re golden. When you give the gift of health and wellness, your recipient is golden, too!

Giving the gift of health is a powerful message that says you really care. It’s also a lovely way to thank people in your life who make a difference for you – and it helps them stick around longer, too.

Let your loved ones know you appreciate them this year and give them the gift of health and self-care. Happy Holidays from Ayurveda Every Day With Talya!

Love, Talya
