I'm gonna keep this quick, dirty and highly practical.

I know you probably received (like me) one, or two, or eight billion Amazon gift cards for Christmas.

So I went into my Amazon orders, dug into the history of my most recent orders, and without further ado, am giving you 10 of the best low-cost Amazon purchases I made this month. Consider these to be a few of my top healthy Amazon gift card ideas.

Let's do this…

————————

1. Frontier Ceylon Cinnamon Organic Ground Powder. $17.99

This is the kind of cinnamon (unlike the popular cassia cinnamon) that has actually been shown to lower blood sugar.

2. Trojan Naturalamb Condom Lubricated Natural Skin.  $14.67

Protected sex will never be the same. Seriously. You must try, fellas. And ladies.

————————

3. Certified Vegan, Raw, Kosher, Organic Nori Sheets.  $17.39

Most nori has heavy metals. Not this stuff. I wrap salads, meats, and half the meals I eat in nori. I'm weird like that and now you can be too.

4. Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do. $21.83

Best book I read this month. Period. The title says it all.

————————

5.  Bob's Red Mill Flaked Coconut Unsweetened. $17.94

This is a good, low-carb way to add “texture” to smoothies, shakes, snacks, etc.

————————

6.  B-Fresh Spearmint Gum. $12.89

Guilt-free gum.   No artificial sweeteners or crap, and it actually maintains its taste, unlike other brands.

————————

7.  Dark Chocolate Stevia Drops. $7.59

I use this stuff in everything from low-carb coconut milk ice cream to iced coffee. Bon appetit.

————————

8.  X-Stand for MacBook and PC Laptop.  $21.99

Laptops are notorious for being hard on your upper back, shoulders, elbows and wrist. Posture destroyers. This cool little thing tilts your laptop to make it more user friendly.

————————

9.  HandStands Deluxe Laptop Wrist Rest.  $6.49

Ditto. See above for reasoning.

————————

10. Sleep Master Sleep Mask. $25.90. 

Best. Sound blocking. Light eliminating. Wrap-around. Sleep. Mask. Ever. No sleep mask will ever compare.

OK, Merry Christmas. Now go spend your gift cards, then get back to your families, cookies, a glass of eggnog, and some holiday cheer. And feel free to add your own gift card ideas below.
