FITNESS & WELLBEING
Nurture both the inner you and the outer you
1 FITBIT VERSA 4
Balancing price and power isn’t easy, but we’d say the Versa 4 is a
pretty attractive gift for a health-conscious, bare-wristed loved one. Built-in GPS means
it works without a phone nearby, sleep tracking breaks down ten metrics to really suss
out one’s snooze, and smart features like Alexa Built-in and NFC payments put it a step above similar options.

2 SURI ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH
SURI means ‘Sustainable Rituals’, and frankly there’s no reason to shove disposable plastic into your mouth every morning and night when your toothbrush could be
reusable, repairable and recyclable. Its heads use plantbased bristles, the aluminium body is designed to be taken apart, and even the battery lasts up to 40 days without charging.

3 PRIMAL PRO SERIES BLACK FOAM ROLLER
Covered in multiple trigger point designs, Primal’s Pro Series roller is just the thing for post-workout recovery or just easing tension in knotted-up backs. It’s made of dense foam, light enough at 1kg to cart about wherever it’s needed, and if any item was likely to literally fill a stocking – and confuse its
recipient – it’d be this. $55, primalstrength.com
4 EDWIN JAGGER DOUBLE EDGE SAFETY RAZOR
A close shave doesn’t have to cost the earth. Edwin Jagger’s weighty, handsome handle is as suitable for newcomers to safety razors as it is
for experienced wet shave pros. Given that a fresh blade could cost
less than 10p if you buy in bulk, there’s no going back to cartridges. Just remember – up and down, not
side to side.

5 AIR UP
Super-popular with the kids these days, Air Up’s clever bottles trick the mind, using around-the-spout scent pods to bamboozle the brain
into thinking the plain water coming out of its nozzle is actually delicious squash. Great if you’re on a health kick – or if you’re just trying to cleverly sidestep school’s
water-only drinks policy. There are more than 25 different flavour
pods to choose from. From $19.99, intl.air-up.com
6 ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 25
These running shoes have sustainability credentials – more than 90% of the upper’s polyester is sourced from recycled materials – as well as comfort through Asics’
FF Blast Plus cushioning and its impact-absorbing PureGEL. That’s a win for the feet, and the extra endurance offered by its outsole should mean the Gel-Cumulus 25
burns through many miles.

7 THERAFACE PRO
It seems a bit cheesy to say ‘it’s a
spa day every day’, but that’s exactly what the Theraface Pro offers: a microcurrent ring, three different percussive heads, and
three kinds of LED light, all designed to provide a put-upon face with some serious customised treatment. The idea is that it lifts, firms, clears, contours and more, like helping to reduce mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

8 BRAUN SERIES 9 PRO
You’d have thought Braun, with its decades of experience atop the electric razor tree, would have settled by now. Not so: the latest Series 9 Pro completely redesigns
the shaving head, making this simultaneously gentler and more cutty than ever before. Not a bad thing, and it’s fully waterproof, so you can add foam or gel, or shave
in the shower.
