Gifts for me: Treat yourself with these amazing finds no one else will get you

These self-care gifts will help you start the new year in greater health

There are the gifts other people give us, then there are the gifts we give ourselves. While shopping for your friends and loved ones during the holiday season, you might find yourself seeing things that don't work for any of them, but that you might like. If that sounds like a familiar thought, we hear you, and we have the ideal gift guide for you.

Below you'll find a selection of gifts that you could get for someone else, but what's the fun in that? Treating yourself can be just as important as getting gifts for others. After all, it's been a long year, and you could use some personal pampering. Here are some self-care gifts that you should consider ordering today to make your spirits merry and bright this year.

CELLF

Cellular performance supplements that actually work

There are a lot of supplements making all sorts of promises out there, but — almost to our dismay — CELLF actually works. A daily supplement gel that promises to "cleanse the cobwebs" out of your nervous and cardiovascular systems, it's intended to improve brain function, and you'd be surprised by how well it does that.

Bowflex SelectTech 840 Kettlebell

An adjustable kettlebell for a whole-body workout

While there are a lot of kettlebells out there, usually you're limited to having a single weight, which limits your workout options. The Bowflex SelectTech 840 solves that by providing an adjustable weight range. This allows you to enjoy a wide range of workouts with a single piece of equipment that will take up much less storage space.

Runhood Modular Power Station

Swappable, variable, portable power

Runhood has created a portable solar power station that's unique in its product class not only because it features swappable batteries, but also because each of these batteries offers a different power delivery capacity. This makes it easy to avoid carrying more weight than you need. For example, if you just need a little bit of extra juice on the go, the smallest "Engine" will allow you to carry less. If you'll be using larger tools or appliances, on the other hand, you can swap out for the larger battery. Engines come in three sizes, ranging from 324 watt hours to 1,296 watt hours. Runhood reached its crowdfunding goal, closed its campaign, and will be shipping products soon. See on Indiegogo

The 7 best dry shampoo options, an easy cleansing solution for your hair
Try one of these alternatives on non-wash days
Man using dry shampoo

Dry shampoos are one of the best shampoos for men and they're the perfect pick-me-up for when you need a refreshed look during those too-lazy-to-wash-my-hair days. But did you know there's also a more practical reason for it? You have probably heard once or twice that it’s against the laws of grooming to wash your hair every day. For real? Yes. It’s because of sebum — an excess oily substance your body produces naturally to defend your skin. It moisturizes, protects, and coats your body’s outer barrier.

If you’re wondering why we’re rambling about sebum, it’s to make you understand exactly why you shouldn’t wash your hair every day. When you rub your scalp with shampoo, you are stripping away the natural production of oils that nourish your hair. Sebum doesn’t sound sexy, but it’s how your hair gets the ever-so-coveted glow. And when you are constantly doing it, your body may not be able to keep up with producing sebum, making your hair and scalp can become dry and itchy.
