ED’S LETTER ISSUE #1
I
f we were to strip away what constitutes a gift — the material, the structure, the elements — we would come to its true nature: a gift, at its absolute essence, is a moment of kindness. Gifts come in many forms. Whether spoken or thought, tangible or ephemeral, handmade or bought, they all hold a unique expression of kindness. Whatever the gift may be, the words “I thought of you” are what’s truly being said. This is almost always more powerful than the gift itself and, if that item is given with intention and presence, this message becomes clear. When it comes to buying gifts, especially at Christmas, we’re given the chance to be wise and thoughtful with our choices. A gift should be so much more than just a material object with bright colours, loud sounds and wasteful packaging. It should share wisdom, convey a gift’s true message and be a reflection of how much we appreciate each other and our planet. With the true nature of gifting in mind, I warmly welcome you to the inaugural WellBeing Gift Guide. It is here you’ll find a beautiful collection of health and wellness gifts that have been hand-picked and loved by us at WellBeing. From ethical clothing and sustainable yoga mats to gorgeous candles and oils, natural skincare
products and delicious raw chocolate, you’ll discover quality, eco-friendly and precious gifts for all. With your gift, inspire a friend, lover, parent or neighbour to walk alongside you on this path of health and wellbeing. Together, you’ll tread lightly across the planet and meet each moment with presence and each person with compassion in your heart. Give kindness, Kate
