With the gift-giving season in full swing, it’s always a good thing to have a list of ideas for holiday gifts. For your friends that are on their feet all the time, whether it’s taking care of kids, manual labor, or running a marathon, these are some awesome gifts that them (and their podiatrist) would approve of.
Supportive Shoes
This is usually a gift you’d get for someone close to you – close enough that you know their shoe size. Supportive shoes are great for people who are on their feet all the time.
Also, if they run often, their shoes probably wear down quickly. Show your loved ones that you want their feet to be happy and healthy with a new pair of comfortable and supportive shoes.
Foot Lotion
If you live in areas that are dry and cold in the winter (or any time of year), lotion to help dry cracked feet is a great gift idea. You can often find these in a fun holiday gift set at major retailers too. Find some that have a yummy mint scent, or keep it neutral depending on whom you’re giving it to.
Foot Massage
If the gift is for a significant other, you can give them a foot massage. However, if it’s for another family member or friend, you may want to consider a gift certificate to a local massage therapist.
This is great for anyone that doesn’t mind their feet being touched. The gift of relaxation and sore muscle relief is the best gift anyone could give!
Aloe-Infused Socks
Encourage soft and moisturized feet with this comforting gift. You can find aloe-infused socks on Amazon or at major retailers like Walmart and Target. These plush socks are infused with natural aloe vera for continual nourishment.
Slippers
Slippers keep feet warm and protected when we are indoors. Who could say no to that? Slippers are also a great gift that you can customize to the individual you are getting them for. You can get something simple and classy like moccasins, or get silly with it with some Homer Simpson heads.
Foot Spa
Do you know anyone who loves getting or giving pedicures? Get them a foot spa so they can do their own. Soaking feet in warm water is a great way to soothe aches and pain that might build up during the day. So, help a friend out by getting them a personal foot spa to do just that.
Foot Peel Mask
You’ve probably seen peel-away face masks, but what about foot masks? You can get peel-away masks for feet that exfoliate and moisturize the skin on the feet, keeping them soft and smooth. This is perfect for anyone who loves some pampering
If you want to be sure that the gift you’re getting is going to help your friend’s feet, you can always talk to a podiatrist like Dr. James at Teton Foot & Ankle Center.
Whatever you decide on, if you can make it personal and tailor the gift to the receiver, they are sure to love it. More so, these gifts can help anyone have a stressfree holiday. You can also check these tips on how to defeat holiday stress.
