I 🖤 giving gifts, but I must admit, picking a gift can be quite nerve-wracking sometimes. Especially when you are not close to the theme/topic your friend, partner, family member, colleague, etc. is interested in.
I would be clueless about Star Wars for example, but as we are talking about the best gifts for yoga lovers, I am more than happy to help you out here.
Below are 21 gifts for yoga lovers, covering yoga essentials and yoga-related lifestyle items any yogi will love and appreciate.
As always with 🖤 from me to you.
21 best gifts for yoga lovers
Each gift idea listed below comes with a little bit of background information so that you can get a better idea about the item as such and decide whether this is a gift option for your yogi friend or not. I hope this helps 🖤.
1. Yoga mat
Yes, this is probably the first item that comes to mind when thinking about the best gifts for yoga lovers, but a yoga mat is a great gift for any yogi at any level. And not every yogi owns a yoga mat, especially if they are just starting their yoga journey.
You cannot go wrong with the Manduka yoga mat. This yoga mat offers high quality, it comes in different colours, sizes and thicknesses – the choice is yours.
Best in class, responsibly made yoga mat available in different colours, sizes and thicknesses for your personal comfort during your yoga practice.
2. Mala
Mala beads have been around for thousands of years, they are rooted in Buddhism and Hinduism and are meant to help you focus your mind during meditation.
What you need to know: different stones and different beads have different meanings. So when you pick a mala for your yogi friend, you can let the meaning of the beads inspire your choice.
Treat your yoga lover to this special mala necklace made of natural stones featuring the tree of life, representing balance and harmony in all worlds.
3. Yoga strap
Yoga straps are great for any yogi who has an established home yoga practice or who is looking to start a home yoga practice.
What you need to know: yoga straps come in different sizes/lengths. If your friend is tall, consider the longer strap.
Made with unbleached natural cotton webbing and an innovative sure-secure interlocking buckle this yoga strap will enhance and support your yoga practice. Your perfect partner in crime.
4. Tibetan Singing Bowls
The vibration of the Tibetan singing bowls affects the mind and body in a very positive way. The sound vibrations help to release stress and support harmony and balance from within.
In addition, these singing bowls are an amazing visual cue in any yoga/meditation or living room.
Relax and surrender to the magical sound of this Tibetan singing bowl. Each bowl is hand-inspected for sound quality before shipping and carefully packaged in a clean and safe environment.
5. The Goddess Oracle Cards
If your yogi friend ever mentioned the word ‘tarot’ to you, the Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards are a great gift option.
The cards give insight into the different cross-cultural goddesses and each card gives a specific personal message about how you can improve your life, health, relationships, finances, careers, etc.
This oracle card set features different cross-cultural goddesses and each goddess comes with a specific message about how you can improve your life, health, relationships, career, etc.
6. Yoga blocks
Yoga blocks are a perfect gift idea for everyone with an established home yoga practice or who is looking to start a home yoga practice.
Yoga blocks help to deepen stretches and offer stability during the yoga practice.
What you need to know: yoga blocks are usually made of cork or foam. Cork feels a bit more solid than foam blocks. But both offer great support.
Made of sustainable cork, this high-quality cork yoga block is easy to grip due to the textured surface and comes with rounded edges for better comfort. These blocks are the perfect addition to support your home yoga practice.
7. Meditation pillow
Finding your perfect seat for your meditation practice is key and a meditation pillow can be a great support for this.
But even if your yogi friend does not have an established meditation practice, a meditation pillow can also be a great support in some yoga poses. Apart from that, these pillows are a unique visual cue in any living room or home yoga space.
What you need to know: all bodies are different and one meditation pillow might feel more comfortable to your yogi friend than another meditation pillow. When gifting a meditation pillow, make sure that your friend can exchange it in case it is not the perfect fit.
Made from a soft velvet, and featuring a beautiful mandala design, this Tibetan meditation pillow is the perfect addition to your yoga practice and a stunning home decor item for your sanctuary.
8. Journal
Surprise your yogi friend with a new journal.
Add a personal message or a picture of you and your friend to the journal to personalise this gift idea.
Beautifully crafted hardcover journal with light grey ruled lines and round edges; high-quality material for a magical journal experience.
9. Yoga Mat Carrier
The yoga mat carrier bag helps to protect the yoga mat on the way to the yoga studio and is super practical when travelling with your yoga mat.
Keep your mat clean, dry and portable with this yoga mat carrier. The yoga mat bag features an adjustable shoulder strap, front and back pockets and a full zipper closure.
10. Yoga Wheel
A yoga wheel is a playful yoga prop and a great gift for any yoga lover with an established home yoga practice.
What you need to know: a yoga wheel is a great prop for beginners and advanced students, however, if your friend is a beginner and does not have yoga blocks and/or a yoga strap, I recommend starting with these first.
This yoga wheel offers maximum support and is the perfect accessory for beginners and advanced yoga practitioners.
11. Yoga blanket
Yoga blankets offer comfort and support at the same time.
They are perfect in Savasana to keep your friend warm and comfy and the additional weight of the yoga blanket helps to ground and calm the nervous system at the same time.
In addition, yoga blankets can also function as props. You can pleat them or roll them into different shapes and turn them into a great support for restorative yoga poses.
The perfect yoga blanket: handmade, versatile and stylish, soft and durable, a must-have yoga prop for your home yoga practice and a beautiful decor item for your sanctuary.
12. Colorfulkoala High Waisted Leopard Print Yoga Pants
These are my absolutely favourite leopard print yoga pants these days.
Colorfulkoala yoga leggings are heaven 🖤.
The material is high quality and as buttery soft as they say, the four-way stretch makes these leggings super comfortable, with lots of colour options to choose from.
Buttery soft and super comfortable yoga leggings with the most stunning leopard print and a V-contour seam on the back, shaping a flattering silhouette. Perfect for any kind of yoga or everyday life.
13. Shower Steamer
If you haven’t heard of shower steamers you are missing out. Shower steamers are the equivalent of bath bombs but for the shower.
These shower steamers are the perfect addition to a post-yoga shower or simply to relax after a long stressful day.
Immerse yourself in deep relaxation and wash away all day's stress with these rejuvenating and refreshing shower steamers.
14. Nice Dream Macrame Dream Catchers
This beautifully crafted, decorative wall hanger is the perfect addition to any home yoga space, bedroom, living room, etc. bringing bohemian vibes in a stylish and calming way.
Beautifully crafted boho-style dream catcher made from high-quality cotton materials. The perfect wall decor for your home sanctuary.
15. Flokulture Incense Holder
This is the most beautiful stylish wooden incense holder you can find for your yogi friend. Trust me.
The incense holder comes in a clean, minimalistic design and is available in different colours.
A must-have item for any sanctuary.
Stylish and beautifully handcrafted wooden incense holder - a must-have item in any sanctuary.
16. Water bottle
Gift your yogi friend a stylish new water bottle that he/she can bring to the yoga classes and carry around all day long to help stay hydrated during the day.
17. Yoga mat cleaner
The yoga mat cleaner helps to remove dirt and germs and leaves the yoga mat with a nice and fresh smell.
This yoga mat cleaner is infused with essential oils providing aromatherapy benefits while keeping yoga accessories clean and fresh.
18. CRZ YOGA High Neck Sports Bra
I am in 🖤 with this high-neck sports bra. It is two in one, a sports bra and a top. Perfect for a hot yoga class or any other yoga class.
Move with ease and comfort with this buttery soft and breathable yoga tank top; available in different colours. The choice is yours.
19. Scented Candles
You guys know me by now, I do like the minimalistic approach, especially when it comes to decorative items. However, this white sage scented candle smells amazing and is super calming and relaxing.
Infused with calming and relaxing notes of white sage, this aromatherapy candle will help you relax, soothe, restore and balance your body and mind.
20. Buddha statue
Yogis love the zen feeling and the more items in our home represent that feeling, the better the energy that surrounds us. The Buddha statue is the perfect addition to every yogi household.
The most beautiful Buddha statue to help you create a peaceful sanctuary in which you can relax and recharge from your busy life.
21. Yoga bolster
A yoga bolster is the perfect gift for any yogi with an established home yoga practice or who is looking to start a home yoga practice.
Yoga bolsters help to enhance and deepen stretches, promote relaxation, and can also be used as a meditation pillow.
Bonus: the ultimate yoga gift basket
If you are looking for a yoga gift basket or yoga gift set, below are my all-time favourites I would include in a yoga gift basket.
- Gift basket – perfect to hold all your items and use to store yoga props after
- Yoga mat – start flowing on a brand new yoga mat offering grip and support
- Yoga leggings – yes, the leopard leggings 🖤
- Yoga top – match the leopard leggings with a yoga top
- Shower steamers – pure fun and relaxation after each yoga practice
