1. Gift Certificate for a Massage

A simple gift that can make someone’s day. Imagine a relaxing massage after a long day of work, it’s just perfection. If you don’t know a massage therapist, there are several ways to nail down the perfect one! Asking your friends is a surefire way of reaching a therapist that’s tried and trusted. You can also check out online reviews as well, most of them are trustworthy. The best way in my opinion is to go to the massage therapist yourself, after all, you can trust your own judgment.

Be on the lookout for deals as well, many massage therapists have coupons or sales going on. Schools also offer reduced prices for student massages if you are looking to get a good deal. Keeping an eye or ear out for good deals is always great, who knows you can book a double massage for the same price!

2. Massage Gun

A massage gun that can be used anytime? Yes, please! With hundreds of massage guns to choose from, you might get confused about which one to pick, this is why I picked them for you.

Theragun

The Theragun Prime is on the expensive side, but it’s made by a well-known company and can last for a long time. The QX65 motor is a proprietary brushless one that provides deep muscle treatment while remaining surprisingly quiet. The gun also comes with a Lithium-ion battery that provides around 2 hours of massage time, it’s quite a leap from other massage guns I’ve used. Theragun Prime also comes with a 5-speed range and an LED screen that displays the status of the device. What I really love is the ergonomic grip that enables you to grab the gun anyway you like, this makes long self-massage sessions a breeze on your hands.

Cryotex Massage Gun

Want a good massage gun on a budget? The Cryotex Massage Gun is a perfect gift! It is affordable and comes with 6 massage heads to help fight against body soreness. It is a great gift for the elderly and athletes alike. I loved the included 6 massage heads that target a different muscle group, combine those with 20-speed levels, and you can customize your massages with ease. The deep tissue massage gun is quiet yet powerful. The gun comes with a lithium-ion battery that lasts around 3-6 hours depending on your speed settings, it also has an LED indicator, so you don’t need to worry about it running out mid-massage.

3. Tens Unit Muscle Stimulator Machine

This electric muscle massager may feel like magic, but it is actually science! The massage can stimulate muscles and sensory nerves, relaxing your body and giving pain management. There are 20 different modes including kneading, hammering, and shiatsu. You can even set up separate modes like acupuncture or tapping. A great gift idea for someone that is in regular pain due to work conditions (long office hours in a seat) or a sportsperson that needs relief after strenuous activities.

The Tens Unit Muscle Stimulator Machine comes with self-sticking pads that can be used up to 45 times. The device also has a 12-month warranty, so you know the company is confident in its product. Overall, it’s a neat gift that is budget-friendly and shows that you care about the well-being of your loved ones.

4. Zyllion Shiatsu Pillow

Zyllion Shiatsu is a massage pillow that helps in relieving sore muscles and stiffness, but that’s not why I’m recommending it. The main reason is how amazingly comfortable it is! I thought it would be a bit uncomfortable to lay on, but I was pleasantly surprised to experience how comfortable it was. You can place it under your head, behind your back, and even under the calves. The pillow also comes with a car adapter, so you can enjoy massages on long drives as well. The only downside is that it needs a power outlet to work, but that’s a small price to pay for the superb relaxation of tightened muscles.

The Zyllion Shiatsu Pillow has a large motor that delivers high-intensity muscle-soothing action. There are 6 lightbulbs inside it for better and efficient heat transfer. The pillow is made with 100% vegan leather that is soft and comfortable to touch and most importantly, pretty easy to clean.

5. Cloud Shiatsu Foot Massager

I don’t know about you, but I feel amazing when I get a foot massage after a long day. Cloud Shiatsu Foot Massager makes it easier to get a foot massage daily at home, and it is super convenient. The foot, leg, and ankle massager is great for blood flow and reducing inflammation. You can even place your calves in the massager for faster muscle recovery and pain relief. The Cloud Shiatsu Foot Massager comes with three different levels of intensity, I recommend starting off with the gentle one and gradually increasing it according to your needs. There are also 5 modes for comfort that include rolling massage, sway function, heat therapy, compression therapy, and a quiet mode.

If you have someone in your life that stands for long periods of time or has to walk around work, this foot massager would be heaven-sent for them. While it is a bit pricey, the experience and relaxation it will provide are worth every penny. Sometimes they offer 50% off coupons on this item on Amazon. So keep an eye out for those this holiday season.
