So Christmas is right around the corner. And maybe you are thinking about starting your own whole foods or paleo diet? Or you know someone who is already on this journey? Are you looking for some items for your Christmas List? Or ideas to buy that paleo friend of yours? Or are you looking to get in better shape but need some ideas to get you started? Well you are in luck because this year I decided to put together my own Paleo Holiday Gift Guide to help you out! All of these items are things I already own and love, or have on my own wish list.
CookBooks
I love cookbooks. In fact you could call me a collector. I have a whole cupboard in my kitchen dedicated to my cookbook collection (which my family really appreciates). This list is a compilation of my absolute favorite books, as well as a couple that are on my own Christmas list (hint, hint).1. Against All Grain: Delectable Paleo Recipes to Eat Well and Feel Great by Danielle Walker 2. Practical Paleo by Diane Sanfilippo 3. Every Last Crumb: Paleo Bread and Beyond by Brittany Angell 4. Beyond Bacon: Paleo Recipes that Respect the Whole Hog by Matthew McCarry 5. The Paleo Kitchen by Juli Bauer and George Bryant 6. The Slim Palate Paleo Cookbook by Joshua Weissman 7. Against All Grain: Meals Made Simple by Danielle Walker
Fitness Gear
Here are a few items that are crucial to my fitness routine. I mentioned a few of these in my recent post titled "How to Stay Fit While Travelling" but I added a few others to this list, including some pretty workout gear from Onzie. Because let's face it, you definitely work out harder when you wear pretty workout clothes. Right?1. Nike Free Tr Runners2. Onzie capri's or leggings 3. Gliding Discs4. Stopwatch5. Skipping Rope 6. Resistance Bands7. Free Weights or Dumbbells
8. Onzie Bra Top
Kitchen Gadgets
Some of these items may seem silly. Pastry blender? Really? Yes really! I use mine at least once a week. And it is definitely not going to break the bank. Some of the other items on here will cost you more money, but if you are looking for something special to buy that real food foodie in your life, trust me when I say they would love any one of these items. I own most of these tools but a few of them are on my current wish list (like the Vitamix and the dehydrator).1. Immersion Blender2. Crockpot3. Food Processor 4. Blender
5. Dehydrator
6. Silicone Muffin Cups 7. Coffee Grinder
8. Pastry Blender
9. Waffle Maker
10. Spiralizer
Kitchen Accents and Accessories
Now I have to admit that these items don't really require a paleo diet. But it is no secret that I love pretty things, including my kitchen accessories. And I know I am not alone when it comes to this desire. Most of the females I know love surrounding themselves with pretty objects. The women out there know what I am talking about (and for the males reading - are you paying attention? If not you should be!). Here is a list of items I am currently coveting for my own kitchen and am sure many of you would also appreciate.1. Gold Lips Mug 2. Gold Salt and Pepper Shakers 3. Cookbook Stand
4. Floral Travel Mug
5. Patterned Stainless Steel Water Bottle
6. Cow Butter Dish
7. Copper Cookie Jar
8. Kate Spade Dinnerware
9. Kate Spade Glasses
10. Gold Cutlery
For Your Reading Pleasure
There are a number of books that have helped me along the way on my real food journey. This list is only a partial collection but one that would be a great start for anyone looking to explore the impact that nutrition can have on health and healing.1. Breaking the Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gottschall
2. The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Micael Pollan 3. Eat the Yolks by Liz Wolfe 4. Keto Clarity by by Jimmy Moore 5. The Wahls Protocol by Dr. Terry Wahls 6. Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Natasha Campbell-McBride
Well there you have it everyone. That is this year's paleo gift guide. I hope you found a few things you might want to add to that list of yours, or even purchase for someone in your life. Christmas will be here sooner than we think so it's time to start collecting those gifts. If you have any questions please let me know. And as always I would love it if you visited me on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram!
