Would you be offended to receive a health and fitness related gift?

While I’d be flattered, fitness/nutrition gifts, while well intended, may be a bit of a faux pas unless there is evidence of interest. Recently, I asked my fitness-focused friends what they would love to unwrap this time of year.

 In our video series For the Health of it, Joline Atkins provides health and wellness advice.

Some answers were quite obviously fitness related, like my sister turned cyclist who asked for cold weather booties and cycling gloves. Others, shared suggestions that were not as glaringly fitness specific, lending me to believe that perhaps the giver has a bit of an opening to encourage someone towards healthier habits, albeit, gracefully.

Here are my top 10 health-related gifts (with a little help from my friends):
