Need some gift ideas for the wellness fan in your life? Here are our top picks for wellness gifts, including physical, spiritual, and mental well-being, in part three of our Experience Milton 2024 Holiday Gift Guide.
Top Picks for Experiential Wellness Gifts
- Blue Room Spa: Treat your loved ones to an experience that will elevate their mind, body, and spirit to another level. Located in downtown Milton, you’re minutes away from a day of bliss. Want to have spa products at home? The Blue Room Spa also offers VivierSkin products delivered directly to your door.
- Women Fitness Classes: Local fitness experts, including Mom Bun MVMT or Nina’s Fitness, cater to women looking for improved physical wellness. Reach out to one of these wonderful local experts and set up the woman in your life with a fun and challenging experience.
- Wellness Retreat: Sometimes, all a loved one needs is to get away and just be. Sign them up for A Taste of Silence – CEC Winter Weekend Meditation Retreat. This weekend getaway is run by the Consciousness Explorers Club and will allow your recipient time to reflect, wander through nature, and follow guided meditation practices at the Ecology Retreat Centre in Mono, Ontario.
- Conservation Halton Park Pass: Have someone who loves to be with nature or could use more outdoor exploration? The Conservation Halton Parks Membership not only lets your recipient hike the trails and get closer to nature, but each membership helps keep the parks functioning and clean for future generations to appreciate.
- Meal Subscription or Prepared Meals: The perfect gift idea for someone who could use a break from cooking meals every day. Milton is fortunate to have some delicious local cooking talents, including Mamma Mancuso Kitchen, authentic European meals and desserts, and Ruby’s Midnight Diner, fresh salads and hot meals, like Jerk Chicken Tacos. Menus are posted on their Facebook pages, where you place your order through messaging or email. Both require porch pickup.
- Cleaning Services: Nothing says I want you to be well, possibly more than by offering to clean someone’s house for them. Milton has many to choose from, so take a load off your loved one’s back with the gift of a clean house.
Top Picks for Wrappable Gifts
- Allegra Spa Gift Card: The perfect gift idea when you want to give someone the gift of pampering but aren’t sure what they prefer. Take advantage of Allegra’s upcoming Black Friday deals to get a $10 bonus for every $50 spent. Also, buy two Scented Market products and get a third 50% off.

- Healing Stones & Bracelets: Nature’s Spirit serves the Milton community for all its metaphysical needs. Give your recipient the gift of healing crystals, bracelets, and more to help them feel more at peace and centred this season.

Gifts That Give Back
Liam’s Mission
Give the gift that helps sick kids and adds comfort to any little one going through a challenging time. Liam’s Hospital Stay, available on his website, donates $5 to SickKids Hospital for every book purchased. You can donate directly to Liam’s Comfort Kits Initiative. These kits are given to those who need to endure a hospital stay of unknown length and don’t have the essentials to help them get through it.
Conservation Halton Foundation and More
It takes a lot to make sure our local trails are nurtured and taken care of. The Conservation Halton Foundation helps maintain and upgrade trails, restores creek-side habitat, improves accessibility, and more.
Animal lovers will appreciate the Adopt-A-Raptor program, which will help provide birds with proper food, veterinary care, and more. You may also wish to donate to the Mountsberg Animal Care Fund to help provide essentials to the donkeys, rabbits, and other animals that live at the park.
Donate to the Canadian Mental Health Association
Mental health is important throughout the year, but particularly so during the holidays when we are often more isolated, missing loved ones, and the skies are overcas,t causing Seasonal Affective Disorder. The Canadian Mental Health Association has two locations in Milton and offers help to those with mental health struggles. Donate today to help keep this great support system going strong.
