Great Gift Ideas for you and your loved ones!
*Updated November 5, 2018
First, What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is about being in the present moment. The past is gone and the future has not happened, but the present is HERE and NOW. Although you don’t need any products to start practicing mindful living, you may find some of these products helpful. So here is a list of some of my favorite mindful meditation apps, children’s books, mindful journals, mindful eating books, and more.

Mindful Coloring Books
There is something about coloring that calms the soul! A friend once told me she loved to color a picture and pray for one person while she colored the page. I just love this idea!
Mindful Living Books and Journals
One important aspect of mindful living is taking the time to have quiet time. One of my favorite things to do during my quiet time is spend time with God. I love to use this time to pray, read scripture, write in my journal, and just be comforted by the presence of God. So I would be so delighed if I received a quiet time with God basket as a gift. The basket could include little gems like a mindful journal, relaxing tea and a inspirational mug. The basket could even include a calming sented candle and a scripture coloring book. Below I have listed some of my favorite quiet time basket gift ideas.

Calming Scent Candles

Bonus: Mindfulness Songs (Songs about Living in the Moment and Being Grateful)
You know how on vacation, we often leave our worries about the past and the future at home? From the moment we enter the car or plane, we seem to start living in the present moment. We turn on the music and just be. When we are on vacation, it is as if we put life on PAUSE, and we truly experience the present. Have you ever noticed that we often start living in the moment when that road trip first begins, and we often do this by listening to music?
Just think if we drove around on a daily basis living in the moment like we do on vacation. SO I want to include my favorite “mindfulness” songs in this post. These are songs about living in the moment, letting go of worry, and having gratitude.
“Breathe” by Jonny Diaz,
“Day One” by Matthew West
“Happy” by Pharrell Williams,
“It’s a Great Day to Be Alive,” by Travis Tritt
“Let it Be” by Geaorgia Florida Line,
“It’s Gonna Be a Good Life,” by One Republic, and (don’t laugh)
“Slow Ride” by Foghat (Hey it’s about driving slow and just enjoying the moment)
Are you read for this one:
“Let it Go” from Frozen (Think about it. It’s about letting go of the past and living in the moment!)

book. No really! I cried right in the middle of the store. My husband just looked at me like, “There she goes again,” and “well, I guess we will be buying that!” This is the sweetest book about giving to others. The book includes a sparkle box (which is meant to be a gift we give to Jesus on Christmas day.) Throughout the Christmas season, your family is suppose to show kindness to others and then write down the kind act on a piece of paper. You put the paper into the sparkle box. On Christmas day, you open up the box and read the pieces of paper. The pictures are beatiful and the story is so sweet!
are so sweet and full of great random acts of kindness ideas. My children and I love doing these random acts of kindness together throughout the year!
. I would love to get a gift like this because I could use this gift to spread more love. Your family could color cards to give to family members and friends who are going through a tough time or to a friend who just had a new baby. We could color these cards and give them to nursing home residents or widows who are alone for the holidays. The opportunities to spread love are endless.
cards. My children received similar conversation starter cards during Vacation Bible School this year. I must confess that I looked at the cards and thought, “those are cute,” and then sat them aside for a while. One night we picked them up and randomly decided to read a few before bed. I was hooked!!!! The great conversations my 7 year old son and I were having were unbelievable. I have come to cherish these conversations. When we finished the cards, even my son was disappointed. The cards not only got us talking about random everyday things, but also found a way to teach us too!
. Love it!

to the “Quiet Time with God” basket. This tea would go great with the mug!
fits in perfectly in the “Quiet Time with God” Basket or is a nice gift to give all on its own. Various scriptures and scents are available.
. Coloring WHILE praying is a great way to quiet the mind and focus on the presence of God.
. I have a prayer box necklace, and I enjoy writing prayer request and prayers for loved ones in the box. I can remember who and what I would like to pray for where ever I go. What a great Christian inspired gift to give this year.
is amazing and looks cool too! Just like the other fitbits, you can track your steps, workouts, calorie burn, sleep, receive call and text notifications, and many more features. Th charge 3 also includes guided breathing sessions and is waterproof! I would LOVE to get this as a Christmas gift (wink, wink to my husband)
You just roll the dice to see which workout you will do next. This keeps your exercises interesting, and the dice are easy to carry with you when you are traveling. I would be so happy if someone got me these dice.
. My favorite part is the compartment at the bottom where you can carry your dirty shoes separately.

! They have several other fruit shaped purses as well! What a cute accessory for the health professional or the health conscience.
is technically for wine, but what a great way to keep your water cool and your veggie snacks fresh. You can have healthy snacks wherever you go! I mean, its a cooler…in a purse! How awesome is that!
on hand. I love that all these game fit into a bag so that you can take them with you to a park, the beach, or your own backyard.
. When the top of the stand is at an angle the stand doesn’t get in your way when you are playing ball.
for my son. I am so excited about this purchase. My kids get so excited about scavenger hunts and when you add a treasure map…I mean, come on…this is awesome! I also use this game when I want to give my kids a surprise birthday or Christmas gift. They find the “treasure” aka gift at the end of the game!
is another game my family owns and loves. We have had this game for years, and we still regularly play it! Its silly and gets you moving. What’s not to love!
