I’m not one of those people who will leave holiday shopping to the last minute. I’m out browsing the shops early looking for gifts that are thoughtful, meaningful and yes even practical. Buying for family and friends means diverse shopping and choosing personalized gifts they would enjoy and make total use of. Usually, I choose a theme and this year it’s wellness gifts.
I have a few family members who suffer from chronic back and neck pain so I’ve explored gift ideas that would fit my budget. Cariloha has a Bamboo Neck Pillow that I think would be received well.

Chronic neck pain can lead to a stiff neck, low range of motion, headaches, facial pain, shoulder pain, upper back muscle strain and may affect other muscles. Most people are hunched over their iPhones and other electronic devices for hours every day, so they’ll develop ‘text neck’ and poor posture. Plus many people travel during the holiday season and can feel stress in the neck and shoulders from heavy luggage, airline seats and sleeping in awkward positions. Here is where the Bamboo Neck Pillow will come in handy.
The Bambook Neck Pillow is made from an ultra-comfortable bamboo charcoal memory foam that morphs to the shape of your nape and neck. It sits naturally on your shoulders and offers head and neck support. To avoid any slipping, there is a strap that spans across the front and secures with a snap closure. This is great if you fall asleep on the train, plane or a vehicle. Your neck will have constant support while you relax and enjoy your travel experience.
This thermal regulating neck pillow comes in a neutral heather grey color with stylish piping on one side. It comes with a soft jersey cover that feels soft and warm to the skin. The cover can be removed so you can wash off any sweat, makeup, and dirt. If you want to latch your neck pillow to your luggage or backpack, there is a handy clip on one side that can hook on to a strap easily. Whether you’re at home or traveling, the Bamboo Neck Pillow is the perfect companion.
