Whether you’re planning on giving out “old” favorites this year, or are in search of some new ways to celebrate the holidays with friends and family, we’ve got some ideas for you- all with the goal of keeping you and your loved ones healthy, happy and engaged as you live life in the later years. Of course, the agebuzz website makes it easy for you to consider all of the books, products, and services we’ve recommended in posts on agebuzz, whether you’re interested in exercise, healthy eating, or brain health. 

But as an agebuzz reader, we also wanted to make sure you are aware of the expertise, advice, and products available from many of our agebuzz Guest Bloggers, who offer a range of services, books, and products to enhance your aging experience. For some novel- and not-so-run-of-the-mill- ideas for holiday gifts, consider the following:

From Guest Blogger Louise Applebome:

Treat yourself (or a loved one) to the gentle, meditative rhythms of agebuzz’s yoga contributor Louise Applebome, as she invites agebuzz readers to purchase either a 6-pack of Yoga Live-Stream Zoom sessions (available no matter where you live!) or a 6-pack of pre-recorded yoga sessions, with $20 off the regular price of $105. If you opt for the pre-recorded sessions, you will receive a new recording each week for 6 consecutive weeks, which you can watch anytime at your convenience. Each recording is good for ten days.

More than anyone, she knows how important it is to have a travel professional by your side as you develop your plans and spend your money to create a wonderful travel experience. Andrea offers gift certificates that can be generic and cover expenses towards travel design services or can be customized for a specific trip.

Contact Andrea here to purchase one of her gift certificates.

-From Guest Blogger Dave Donelson:
