Women’s Resistance Bands
A high-impact way to streamline equipment and intensify workouts. Try these bands from Women’s Best, who also have a ton of additional content for new exercise ideas.
Women’s Everyday Sneakers
These sneakers were designed keep up with all occasions and seasons. Even if you know someone as fast as their knit time (7 minutes to reduce every pair’s carbon footprint).
U-Link Earrings
A sleek, elegant alternative to the typical hoops. Set these aside for the workout buddy who doesn’t believe in compromising glamour for the gym.
Lash Booster Mascara
As an entrepreneur and mother herself, Pixi founder Petra Strand is all about designing products for real life. This mascara will lengthen and thicken while keeping things natural.
Amber Top
A classic button-down that doesn’t skimp on the details—just look at those tortoiseshell buttons. Considering its versatility, save this one for the friend who can’t wait for their next getaway.
Lavender Soy Candle
A calming, soothing reminder to stay positive. Take it from Grateful Daily founder Michelle McCormick, whose work as a life coach inspired her to create more moments where we can take a beat.
Ilia Multi-Stick
Just the kind of all-over glow we need for drier winter skin, and small enough to keep in a pocket for on-the-go freshening up.
After Sunset Caftan
The drama of a dress, with the comfort of pajamas. Softer than cotton, with the stylishness of suede. This magical caftan is made in small batches to be singularly eco-friendly.
Tropical Weightlifting Belt
This channels the power and exuberance of every 80s workout video you’ve ever seen. This belt is made of polyester designed specifically to repel sweat and attract good vibes only.
Early Bird Success Bundle
Comes with a planner and reflection cards for yourself and a friend—because what’s more motivating than seeing your potential through the eyes of a loved one?
