Focusing on gratitude can completely change your life. This simple journal became popular after podcaster and author Tim Ferriss touted its benefits. It’s an easy way to help someone shift their mindset and focus on all the beauty in their life.
I LOVE cooking with cast iron pans. They don’t just cook better and more evenly than aluminum, they’re also healthier. The “non-stick” coating on most pans is made with toxic chemicals, and every time you use them, the toxins get into your food. Cast iron pans have the same non-stick property without the chemicals. It’s a perfect gift for anyone who loves to cook.

Tracking your biorhythms is one of the most transformational things you can do for your health. It helps you understand what’s really going on in your body and make better, more informed decisions about your health. The Oura Ring is one of the best in the world. I’ve been wearing one for years. It’s small, easy to wear, and can even help you see when you’re getting sick before symptoms start.
If an Oura Ring is out of your budget, a fit-bit is a great low-cost alternative. It tracks your exercise, heart rate, and gives you great insights about your sleep habits.
I love wine so much I made a documentary series about it. But most modern wine, especially if it comes from the US, contains sulfites, histamiens, and all kinds of unhealthy additives. (This is why so many people get headaches from red wine). This wine purifier removes all these toxins while aerating your wine at the same time, bringing out a whole new level of flavor and complexity in any bottle—even cheap ones. It’s like adding 10 points to every bottle.
