Top of the list again this year. If you love the outdoors, Bay Nature Magazine is a gift that gives all year long.
If you have a skeleton, Dr. Lani’s Bone Health book is a must read. I waited to read Susan Love’s Breast Book until AFTER I was fighting breast cancer. Please DO NOT wait for a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis to read this book.

Eating on the Wild Side: This life-changing (but badly named) book will help you make better, more nutritious choices. Learn how to buy, store, prepare fruits and veggies in order to make more nutritious choices, save money and shop smarter. More info and great pod cast – click here.
Once again this year – if you have feet – these massage balls will help them stay healthy. If you have a HINT of Plantar Fasciitis (or know someone who does), get them – don’t wait!
With Dad dying this year and mother-in-law failing, I’m aware that many of us are helping or dealing with an older adult who is at fall risk. This simple, high quality bed rail helps stabilize at one of the most risky times – getting out of bed. This is the one you want! Also, I carry a Handy Bar for helping clients get out of the car, it’s a great stabilizer as well as a seat belt cutter and window smasher. I hope I never need to use it for that!
What gift guide would be complete without a plug for POLES? Consider gifting a class (if you’re in Northern CA) or a video (for hiking or mobility) and or a new set of poles. To learn which poles best fit a person (and will help him/her achieve her goals), just complete the consultation form on this web page. I have some poles that are discontinued, so my stock of high quality poles is selectively available for special needs (like extra tall people, wrist or shoulder issues, etc).
For locals (Bay Area Residents), anytime tickets to the Mountain Play are a great gift. We go every year and the anytime tickets enable us to go when the weather is what we want (not hot). They are only on sale for a short time in December.
Happy & Safe Holidays!
