Have someone on your list who could use a little pampering? Treat their feet with something from this gift guide!
- Foot Care Starter Kit
It’s all too easy to leave foot care until your feet are already causing you pain, but you can help to avoid the discomfort with a little early intervention.
- Look for a kit that’s simple to use and recommended by podiatrists, with clear instructions and straightforward packaging.
- Warming balms and cooling gels are always popular, as are simple foot creams and lotions for soothing peeling skin. A peppermint foot cream is a great choice for its invigorating scent and cooling sensation.
- Foot Soak
Tired feet are a problem all year round, but the cold of winter can make it even more noticeable than usual. A soothing foot soak can help wash the cares of the day away. Plus, many soaks include natural plant or herbal extracts such as mint and citrus, which not only refresh feet but help to combat odor.
- Runner’s Anti-Blister Kit
If there’s someone in your life who loves to run, why not give them something that will help combat that bane of every runner’s life – blisters?
- Runners won’t want to carry around large bags, so look for kits that are compact and light, preferably including a strong outer bag.
- Good anti-blister kits will contain alcohol wipes, Band-Aids, a small pair of scissors, antibiotic ointment and gel patches.
- Massage Balls
If you know someone who suffers from or is prone to plantar fasciitis, then you can be sure they’ll welcome these massage balls as a way of relieving the discomfort.
- Massage balls usually come in two sizes: medium for the arch of your feet, and small for the heel and metatarsal areas.
- Avoid metal balls and instead look for ones made of a hard wood such as maple.
