Dr. Doctor’s 2024 Gift Guide
The holidays are here and I’m so excited to bring you my 2024 gift guide!
The lineup below represents food and health-related products I’ve enjoyed during 2024 that are excellent quality, affordable, planet-friendly, and wellness-enhancing.
I hope you enjoy browsing through to hopefully get some good ideas for your own home or the upcoming gift-giving season.
Skincare
There is a ridiculous amount of skincare products out there that make their money marketing themselves toward our fear of aging.
According to a study published in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Public Health, the skin absorbs an average of 64% of total contaminant exposure.
And what’s worse – there is an abundance of “greenwashing” products marketing themselves as natural when in actuality they contain ingredients, like Benzalkonium Chloride, BHAs, BHTs, synthetic fragrances, or others.
This is the topic I get the most queries about, so I think it is just right to share some wonderful resources to pamper yourself and your loved ones.
1. Clean Beauty Trial Pack
This 4-step skincare line is organic, ‘made-safe’ certified, non-GMO, and cruelty-free so you can feel safe giving it as a gift to a loved one or yourself! They have a lovely trial pack at a lovely deal that makes for an excellent gift this season.
It includes- Clean Beauty Trial Pack + Free FULL-SIZE Antioxidant Lip Balm. Four products, ships free and all for $19.99!
2. LED Light Therapy Mask– Anti-Aging/ Acne
Perfect for all skin types, this LED light mask uses advanced technology to target acne, wrinkles, and skin discoloration by boosting collagen production and promoting cell renewal.
Qure currently has up to 55% off Bundles. You can also use the code – DRDOCTOR to get 10% OFF.
My review and all the deets can be found here.
3. IPL Hair Removal
The Ulike Air 10 is my current favorite and one of the most powerful and affordable options to date. I have discussed a lot on this. You can find them here and here.
3. Organic & Safe Make-up
If you are searching for simple & wonderful products that check all the boxes: these are some great ones that have a sweet deal on them.
Tinted Lip Balm
Tinted Sunscreen
This one is great since it not only protects but I feel gives adequate coverage (hence you might not even need a foundation or concealer)
Araza is one of the few that allows us to use some extra bling when required safely. Made with organic plant-based and safe ingredients, my favorites include the Rejuvenating Coconut Lip Color & the Avocado Butter Eye + Brow Pencil. Their Fresh Face Starter Set is an economical option to get started with and they have added the limited edition Holiday Look Set which serves as an excellent gift this season.
House Essentials
1. Essential oils- Plant Therapy
Safety is my top priority when it comes to essential oils. Plant Therapy is a brand I love for its quality, commitment to providing safe usage instructions, and pricing. Their organic kid-safe blends make it very convenient for those not conversant with aromatherapy. Else, their organic singles bundle is a great place to start.
2. Hydrogen Water
This is one of my current obsessions and I think it is super cool. I shall share more details soon. Right now you can get it at a great discount and I think it makes for a great gift too.
3. Non-toxic laundry wash
While it is very easy to create your household cleaning supplies, it is reassuring to readily have clean, toxic-free cleaning supplies. My little one reacted to almost all the laundry washes commercially and I am very fond of this source. Ensure you get the unscented version if the fragrance doesn’t you or your loved one.
Truly Free [Get 300 FREE Loads of Laundry Wash here!].
4. EMF Protection Blanket
Many people these days…especially teenagers and young adults…regularly scroll their smartphones while sitting in bed.
This is problematic to health when the phone is propped up on the abdomen exposing vital organs to cellular and Wifi signals. This cumulative exposure adds up quickly.
If one of your loved ones has this habit, an EMF and 5G protection blanket is a great way to easily help them protect themselves (along with blue-light-blocking glasses!).
These blankets are great for protecting babies or for traveling on long-haul airplane flights, where passengers may be exposed to radiation for hours at high altitudes.
This is also my go-to brand for EMF-shielded cell phone cases, laptop shields, tablet shields, anti-radiation blankets, and much more.
5. Acupressure Flip Flops
These therapeutic sandals (that you use around the house only) give you a reflexology massage on important acupressure points while you’re walking short distances from room to room or standing in the kitchen washing dishes or folding clothes.
At first, you may only be able to wear them for a minute or two. You might even find them a bit painful as toxins are getting released and the tight plantar muscles are stretched.
As your feet get stronger and the gentle acupressure relieves energy blockages, you will be able to wear them comfortably for much longer!
Any sore spots you experience link to specific organ systems in the body and potential weak areas to work on.
Regular use can help relieve plantar fascitis, improve circulation, reduce back pain, and facilitate better sleep!
Food Guide
1. Multivitamins
I recently made a video explaining who, why, and when you need to take a multivitamin. Just be careful to source the good ones. These are some of my favorites that are on a steal deal currently.
2. Supplements to Reverse Biological Age/ Anti-Aging Supplements!
They have 40% OFF all bundles and you can use the code- DRDOCTOR to get an additional 10% OFF.
You’ll find more details here and here.
3. Organic Broth
I recommend and enjoy only these two sources: Epic bone broth comes in shelf-stable glass jars and Bonafide Provisions is a great option if you have refrigerator/freezer space. Bonafide broth is the best choice as it gels at room temperature, indicating a higher quality product.
4. Fruit-sweetened sourdough and Muffins
I’ve been enjoying the authentic sourdough bread, tortillas, muffins, and bagels delivered fresh to your door from Organic Bread of Heaven for a long time.
This is our family’s favorite bread and go-to, not only for their lovely sourdough, but we also indulge in their sprouted tortillas, noodles, pies, and muffins. They are delicious!
If you want to try these yummies or send a gift basket for the holidays, use coupon code DRDOCTOR at checkout to get 10% off. Free shipping is available.
4. Probiotics
They are reputed for a breakthrough, award-winning probiotic that contains a patented strain called Bacillus Indicus HU36®. This is probably one of the only few probiotics that reach the intestine to perform its desired action.
For Kids, I will still try to include the one from Just Thrive in their meals and drinks but if you have a very fussy one then this is a good option.
There is so much more, but these are the most helpful IMHO. I will share more recommendations if I come across anything else in my upcoming newsletters, so make sure you have subscribed so that you don’t miss out.
Have a lovely holiday this season.
Take care and Stay Blessed
