5 Atlanta Holiday Gift Guide Picks
From the SoulCycle At-Home Bike to Spiritual Gangster’s “Namaste” Beanie, there’s a little something for everyone (and every budget) in my first FRESHJUICE + bubbly Holiday Gift Guide. It’s a list of 25 travel, fashion and gear, food, fitness, and beauty picks that I’ve pulled together after hours of researching — and shopping — over the last few weeks.
But, given I call Atlanta “home,” I wanted to give a little love to five of my favorite area businesses. Whether you’re shopping for someone else or indulging in a self-care gift, know that these picks are options I’ve either spent my own money on or are included on my Christmas wishlist for family (#notsponsored). Happy shopping, friends!
P.S. Looking for a personalized approach to your wellness experience? I’ve spent a decade working as a wellness journalist — visiting more than 50 spas from Vail to Vienna — and 20 years in the fitness industry. The picks for my City Wellness Guides are based on my experience.
The St. Regis Atlanta
Located less than a mile from my house, this is my favorite spot for a staycation. The service and in-room deep soaking tubs are stellar. And the spa just underwent a massive revamp (offering amenities that now include a nifty signature cocktail) that I was blown away by during a recent visit.
Bamboo Juices
Every week, I religiously receive my subscription of Bamboo cold-pressed green juices. With delivery available to customers living in the southeast, this brand offers a variety of juices, almond milks (Deep Chocolate is my favorite), and cleanse kits.
Stellar Bodies Boutique
In addition to offering Megaformer classes at their three Atlanta locations, Stellar Bodies is also home to a stellar activewear selection. With brands ranging from KORAL to Ultracor, the Stellar boutiques offer something for everyone. And thanks to the virtual boutique, you can snag that chic pair of leggings without ever having to leave the house.
My Exhale Class
If you’re in Atlanta, come and take a barre, cardio, or cycling class with me at our Exhale Spa location! I’ll do my best to make you laugh while we sweat it out to a killer playlist. I’m taking December off to reduce my Covid-19 risk while visiting family this month. But, check the schedule in January for my latest lineup!
Modern Mystic Pyramid Bath Bomb
$12
I like a little woo-woo with my beauty routine. So, I love the concept behind these bath bombs. Basically, they’re designed to add a little bath magic to an evening with a full moon. (Don’t worry, instructions on how to make the most of this magic are included on the wrapper!)
