Treat yourself or a friend to these gift ideas

- Marjie Gilliam Road to Fitness

The holidays are here, and many of you are looking for unique gift-giving ideas. Whether treating yourself or buying for someone else, some of my favorite picks include:

The holidays can be stressful, and for those with chronic aches and pains this can take an extra toll on energy, mood and sleep. The Quell 2.0 is a patented FDA-cleared wearable device designed to treat chronic pain, and is 100 percent drugfree. Quell 2.0 uses nerve stimulatio­n to trigger the body’s natural pain blockers, utilized by positionin­g the device around the upper calf. Powered by the Quell app, the user can easily personaliz­e and manage therapy sessions. A tracking feature displays intensity, frequency and length of sessions, as well as sleep monitoring capabiliti­es, all at your fingertips. A wonderful feature of the Quell 2.0 is that as you are wearing the device, you can measure and track daily activity levels. Quell can be worn throughout the day or at night while sleeping, and is designed to treat multiple types of chronic pain. To learn more, visit www.quellrelie­f.com

Tuxy (www.tuxy.co) is a fun, functional and ultra comfortabl­e one piece suit, designed to move with you. This modern day “onsie” is great for outdoor activities or just relaxing at home. The top part of the Tuxy is a hoodie, featuring a high neckline to help protect from the elements, front pockets and rugged zipper with custom pull tab for easy in and out. The sweatpants feature back and side pockets, and an additional extra roomy and secure zip pocket with cell sleeve and audio port. Each Tuxy comes with a utility bag for easy carrying if traveling.

For the computer lover, The Yohann Macbook Pro and MacBook Stand offers rockstable support for MacBooks, saves space and provides great ventilatio­n for your laptop. With both form and function, the stand is designed to elevate a Mac laptop and position it at an angle conducive to better posture and less neck strain. The first thing I noticed about the Yohann Macbook stand was the quality of craftsmans­hip. Sustainabl­y crafted from a single block of solid wood and handfinish­ed, it fits into any decor and is a product you will be proud to display. Learn more at www.yohann.com
