    The YOUnique Balance Wellness Gift Guide


    Thoughtful Gifts for Women Who Want to Feel Their Best


    The holidays are full of giving — but so often, women give to everyone except themselves. As someone who works daily with women who are tired, inflamed, overwhelmed, or just trying to feel like themselves again… I wanted to create something different:


    A gift guide filled with the exact wellness tools I personally use, love, and recommend to my clients all year long.


    These aren’t trendy gadgets or random “self-care” items.


    These are meaningful, supportive gifts that help women feel calmer, more energized, more balanced, and more nourished — from the inside out.


    Whether you’re shopping for a friend, a sister, a fellow mom, or yourself, here are some of my favorite wellness gifts that truly make a difference.


    Castor Oil Pack Kits

    I use castor oil packs regularly for my own stress, digestion, and hormone support — and I recommend them to almost every client.


    They’re amazing for:

    • reducing bloating

    • supporting liver detox

    • calming the nervous system

    • improving sleep

    • reducing PMS symptoms


    Pair with a cozy blanket, tea, or a relaxing playlist for the ultimate nighttime ritual. You can also wear the pack overnight. One note of caution: the oil will stain your clothes so make sure to wear something old.


    Here are a few options for purchasing castor oil and the packs:

    Mineral + Magnesium Sets

    Minerals are one of the most common deficiencies I see, and I take magnesium every single night. It’s a game changer for sleep, stress, mood, and muscle recovery.


    Great mineral gifts include:


    I use this lotion every night and I swear it’s the reason I sleep through the night.

    These make wonderful gifts for women who carry a lot, give a lot, and need help restoring what stress drains.


    Functional Testing (3x4 Genetic Test, GI-Map, DUTCH and many more)

    Okay — this one is close to my heart. I use these tests myself and with clients because they give clarity you cannot get from symptoms alone.


    This is the gift for the woman who:

    • is doing “all the right things”

    • still doesn’t feel like herself

    • wants answers

    • wants a personalized plan


    It’s thoughtful, empowering, and truly life-changing.


    Interested in purchasing functional tests, send me an email and we can get you going: jen@youniquebalancehc.com


    Pair it with a YOUnique Balance Gift Card so she gets support interpreting her results.

    Red Light Therapy Devices

    I use red light therapy when I see my acupuncturist for my hip pain to help reduce inflammation.  I have been wanting my own red light to continue that support at home. 


    Benefits include:

    • deeper energy production

    • hormone and thyroid support

    • collagen + skin glow

    • joint pain relief

    • faster recovery

    • reduced inflammation


    A handheld device is a great starter option; panels are amazing for deeper wellness goals.


    Here are a few options:

    Mirabella Beauty Phototherapy 7-Color LED Facial Mask with Near Infrared-purchase it through my Fullscript Gift Giving and get 15% off.    https://us.fullscript.com/plans/younique-balance-gift-giving-2025


    BestQool Red Light Therapy, Dual Chip Clinical Grade LED Device with Near-Infrared Light 660nm 850nm High Power Panel: https://amzn.to/3XMahTC


    Nervous-System Support Tools

    This is one category I personally lean on the most — because most women don’t need more motivation… they need more safety and calm in their bodies.


    Some go-tos:


    • Weighted blankets-I never had success with a weighted blanket due to low back pain that I experience on and off.  However, they can be very calming for many people.  I prefer a heavier pillow or weighted stuffed animal (yes, I steal my daughter’s) on my abdomen when I sleep.  To find the right weight for a weighted blanket, use the general guideline of selecting a blanket that is about 7-12% of your body weight


    • Acupressure mats-I love my Shakti acupressure mat.  It is used for pain relief, stress reduction and improved sleep.  The stimulation from the spikes increases blood flow to the area, which can aid in muscle recovery and overall well-being.  I use mine at night while I read before bed-usually around 20 minutes (although start at a shorter duration). Check out Shakti mats here: https://shaktimat.com/jenniferb4


    • Aromatherapy rollers/diffusers/essential oils-Essential oils offer benefits such as stress relief, improved sleep, and reduced anxiety through aromatherapy. They also have potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that can help with skin and respiratory issues. Some oils, like peppermint and ginger, may help with nausea, and others can be used for mental clarity and focus. You need to make sure you are using 100% pure, high-grade essential oils-like Doterra essential oils. Check them out here: https://referral.doterra.me/6169668  


    • Sound machines or white-noise devices - We have a sound machine in each of the bedrooms in our home.  It has helped me drown out my snoring husband LOL.  My daughters sleep so much better with a little white noise in the background.  This is the one we love: https://amzn.to/3LLVcis  


    • Breathwork or meditation apps-These apps offer accessible, guided practices that help users manage daily anxiety, reduce negative thinking, and improve overall mood and well-being through features like guided sessions, progress tracking, and customizable environments. Free meditation apps: Insight Timer and Smiling Mind.  If you want a paid option, The Calm app or Headspace are two great apps. 

    If you want to start on your own, I tell clients to focus on 3-4 deep breaths before each meal.  It’s easy to remember because you know you are going to eat at least 3 times a day.  It’s also vital that we eat in a calm state to aid in digestion, so it’s a win-win! You can start with a simple 4 count inhale and 4 count exhale! 


    These gifts say: “You deserve peace.”



    Clean Protein & Gut Support

    As someone who works with gut health daily — and supports my own — these are gifts I love to give (and receive!).

    Ideas include:

    • High-quality protein powder-Truvani is my go-to: https://amzn.to/3KaJXzs

    • Collagen peptides-I have not added collagen to my routine yet but after doing the 3x4 Genetic test and seeing that I need to support Collagen and Joints-this is happening now!  A few options are linked in my Fullscript Wellness Guide at the bottom

    • Digestive Enzymes-I have used digestive enzymes before meals because most of my symptoms are digestion-related.  If you are having digestive symptoms, you could give this a try to see if they provide relief (I do always recommend testing first).  If not, it may be time to test to see what else is going on.  My favorite is linked in my Fullscript Wellness Guide at the bottom

    • Probiotics-always recommend testing using the GI-Map before taking a probiotic.

    • Soothing Teas (ginger, peppermint, licorice)-My favorite is the Organic Ginger Turmeric Tea from Trader Joe’s  https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/organic-ginger-turmeric-herbal-tea-056397

    These support better digestion, more stable energy, and less bloat — especially during the holidays.


    A YOUnique Balance Gift Card

    Finally, the gift I’m most excited to offer: personalized wellness support for the new year.

    • clarity

    • direction

    • encouragement

    • a personalized plan

    • someone in her corner

    What I am asking for this year:

    1. Vibration Plate- Benefits of a vibration plate: While research is still emerging, early studies suggest that whole-body vibration may help reduce fat mass, improve muscle strength (especially in older adults), and support better circulation. Some evidence also points to improved lymphatic drainage, particularly for people with lipedema. If you’re interested in trying vibration plates, consider them a complement to (rather than a replacement for) strength training.


    I did some research and this one gets great reviews for being the best overall vibration plate. It’s easy to use, stable and has a remote control making it easy to control: https://amzn.to/4i9l4Rd

    This vibration plate was rated as the most powerful: https://amzn.to/3LNWyJx

    1. Red Light -see above for the benefits. I added one to the Gift Giving Fullscript plan

    2. Bright Minds Therapy Lamp-see above for the benefits-I added to the Gift Giving Fullscript plan


    15% off your total purchase from Fullscript


    I use many of these tools in my own life, and I’ve seen them transform the women I work with. These aren’t just products — they’re pathways to better energy, calmer days, happier hormones, and deeper wellness.


    Whether you’re gifting to someone you love or giving yourself permission to prioritize you this season, I hope this list helps you find something that truly supports your body and your well-being.


    You deserve gifts that nourish you. You deserve gifts that make you feel good. And you deserve to enter the new year feeling balanced, supported, and deeply cared for.


    Let me know how else I can support you as we head into 2026.
