Wellness and self-care has become a top-priority for just about everyone these days. This can help to make gift-giving a lot easier.
According to market researchers at NielsenIQ, more people are changing their buying habits by shopping with a purpose. This change in attitude and shopping behavior is related to unpredictable issues sparked by the pandemic as well as the rising cost of products at checkout. Consumers are shopping more consciously and are concerned about the overall long-term value of the products they buy. Market researchers predict that this new level of “mindful consumption,” will become the norm, especially in the upcoming new year.
So, if you’re considering what your loved ones might want to support their overall self-care, health and wellness needs this holiday season, then check out these ideas from our gift guide:
