As we approach the holidays, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with pressure to give presents. An idea that should strengthen relationships and foster well-being, gift-giving too often becomes a source of stress and anxiety, along with unnecessary items that have the potential for cluttering instead of clarifying our lives.

This holiday season, give meaningful gifts of health, well-being and sustainability, and be remembered by the people that mean the most to you. Look to Natural Awakenings’ Conscious Giving Guide on pages 16 and 17 to find reiki, crystal bed, jewelry, clothing, chocolates, Gem Therapy, CD’s, blown glass and one-of-a-kind gifts and services for everyone on your gift-giving list.

“The holidays can often be a time for reflection, so slow down and remember what is most important to you and your loved ones,” says Maisie Raftery, publisher of Natural Awakenings Boston. “Time spent together creating memories and sharing healthy holiday traditions and experiences can be one of the most cherished gifts of all.”

Businesses and individuals wishing to advertise in the December Conscious Holiday Gift Guide should call 617-906- 0232 by November 15.
