Whether it’s cancer or an autoimmune disease or some other chronic illness, it can be tough to find the right present to give to your friend or loved one. Maybe they don’t have a lot of energy, are in pain, or don’t get out much. How do you know what they really want? Or more importantly… NEED? These are the 50+ best gifts to give to someone with a chronic illness (or anyone who wants to be healthier) and for everyone’s budget. Trust me. They will thank you.
To make it easier for you, I divided the gifts from least to most expensive. I also included a short blurb about each one because some of these presents may seem a little weird or “out there.” You may wonder, why would this be a good present? Who on earth would want this? Unless you have walked in these shoes, it can be tough to understand the world of having to struggle a little harder than most. These gifts will be well-received and are super practical!
PS – While each of the products is placed into three price categories, please understand if the manufacturer changes the prices and they end up being a little more or less than what they are listed as here.
Best Gifts Under $50
Beautycounter
Who doesn’t want to be pampered! Beautycounter has skin care and makeup products that are clean and simple and free of color, fragrance, oxybenzone, DEA, parabens, dioxin, PEG, and phthalates.
Cozy Socks
Forget the fact that a pair of cozy socks is the best gift ever. I mean… who needs diamonds when you have cozy socks, right? But many individuals with health issues have cold feet and/or spend a lot of time at home. These homemade socks are my personal favorite.
Daily Tracker
Pink Fortitude’s signature Daily Priorities Tracker is not your standard “to-do” list. It’s a game-changer for those who have some type of chronic illness like cancer or autoimmune disease, limited energy, are in pain, and/or have cognition issues. Completing your tasks at work or home can be more challenging with a chronic illness. This method organizes your to-dos around your energy/pain levels so you can be still productive even when you aren’t feeling well.
Diffuser
If you’re on a journey to better health, chances are you use Essential Oils. Way too many of the diffusers are just kinda meh. This diffuser is not only beautiful, but has settings up to 4 hours, automatic shut-off, and a choice of colors for your mood and chakra.
Dry Brush Kit
Dry brushing is a great way to stimulate the lymphatic system and this set also falls under the pampering category.
Gratitude Journal
Pink Fortitude’s signature product – Gratitude Builds Fortitude Journal. Your choice of gorgeous designs and lined or dot grid for bullet journaling.
Himalayan Salt Lamp
Exposure to Himalayan salt lamps has been known to help those with allergies, and respiratory and sinus issues. They have a slight ionizing effect that projects negative ions when the bulb is turned on, and helps to detoxify your room. Best of all – these lamps are totally zen!
NutriBullet
Anyone on their way to better health has a NutriBullet to make smoothies galore! It’s seriously one of the most practical gifts ever.
Pajamas
We always opt for organic options when we can. But organic pajamas are not yet mainstream. And as much as their commercials REALLY annoy me, Pajamagram PJ’s are soft and comfy.
Pill Bags
Anyone with any kind of health issue, medical condition, or who simply wants to live a healthier lifestyle has their share of medicine, pills, and supplements. These Pill Folds are the cat’s meow. Easy to use, super stylish, and much better than those ugly plastic containers.
Pray for a Cure Apparel
Christian Strong will donate 3% of its sales from all our breast cancer t-shirts so that people from any background can have the chance to get free mammogram screenings to increase early detection and treatment.
Primal Palate Spices
If someone sent me Primal Palate spices, they would be my best friend forever. Yes, they are a little more expensive than your supermarket spices, but they are organic and the most super quality spices ever made. You can literally taste the difference.
Yoga Mat
Yoga is one of the most healing and restorative activities that you can do. For someone with pain and fatigue issues, it’s difficult to exercise, and yoga is the perfect way to get movement into your day.
Best Gifts Under $100
Air Purifier
A healthy home has healthy air. Did you know that the air inside your home can be 5 times more polluted than outdoor air?
Dry Farm Wines
Dry Farm Wines are all-natural, additive-free, sugar-free, and low alcohol. A Philosophy of the World’s Finest Pure Artisan Wines, Hand Crafted with Honesty Dry Farm Wines curates only the highest quality natural wines from small, sustainable family farms that meet our strict standard of health. Unlike today’s commercialized and processed wines, this is real wine. Nothing added, nothing removed.
Grounding Mat
Our bodies are full of electricity, and connecting to the ground provides electrical and chemical reactions through our feet. This may help to reduce inflammation, reduce stress, sleep better, increase energy, and even combat jetlag. Earthing is obviously easy and free. Just step outside and onto the grass. But if your home or lifestyle doesn’t support this, there are grounding mats that mimic this practice. You can use them on the floor at your desk or even on your bed.
InstaPot
InstaPot is all the craze these days. It’s a quick slow cooker, and perfect for anyone who wants a healthy meal without a lot of effort.
Laptop Stand
I don’t even want to know how many hours over the years I’ve had to spend on the couch or in bed. This adjustable laptop stand goes everywhere with me. It not only holds your laptop but keeps it off your lap, and helps to minimize EMF exposure.
Microbe Formulas
High-quality supplements are worth their weight in gold. The quality of Microbe Formulas is the best I’ve ever seen. I’m on their protocol and have been a huge fan for quite some time. Yes, supplements are an odd gift to give, but they are practical and will be well-received.
Mighty Maca
Remember those smoothies we discussed earlier? Mighty Maca is one of my favorite superfood powders to add to smoothies. It’s rich in antioxidants and full of fiber, vitamin C, copper, iron, and 20 amino acids. Maca is an adaptogen which may help to enhance energy, mood, and memory and boost sexual health.
Organic Blanket
Cozy and comfy. Are you noticing a theme? It’s a big part of dealing with some of the adverse effects of having a chronic illness. Organic blankets are a great cozy gift to give.
Swannies Blue Light Glasses
Many people with health issues have problems either falling asleep or staying asleep. Melatonin is the hormone that regulates your sleep/wake cycle, and blue lights from your cell phone, TV, computer, etc trick your body into thinking it’s still daytime. Since it’s impossible to live in a bubble and not be away from our cell phones, tablets, computers and TV’s for any length of time, day glasses for screen glare and classic blue light blockers are a favorite health hack.
Shop Swannies Blue Light Glasses
Thrive Market
Thrive Market is like Whole Foods on steroids. Organic, Non-GMO, gluten free, Paleo, vegan, kosher steroids that is. It’s an online store full of the best groceries and home products that are healthier for you. Pay the annual fee for your loved one and let them shop organic products at budget prices.

Weighted blankets may help to improve poor sleep due to anxiety, insomnia, sensory issues, chronic pain, PTSD, autism, ADD, ADHD, RLS, stress, and other sleep disorders. Yes, it’s a bit odd. But I’m addicted!
