"There's no need to brave malls, scour websites, or spend hours shopping when you are just one click away from EverydayHealth.com's list of healthy gifts and gadgets," said Lamar Graham, EverydayHealth.com Editor. "The best gift to give a loved one is the gift of good health."

A Top 10 List names Everyday Health's editors' favorites for any time of year.  These gift ideas will inspire everyone to live healthier and happier lives.

• Delight the gadget lovers or exercise enthusiasts on your list with a personalized fitness performance system that boasts GPS, Wi-Fi, and a smart music tracker that ensures they'll be exercising at least 30 minutes a day. Or, for your favorite yogi, consider a mood-enhancing yoga mat with a built-in speaker to play an instructional podcast or relaxing music – a great way to enjoy the mind and body benefits of the practice, which include reduced stress and improved back pain.
• A pop culture board game, like Cranium: Glee Edition, will make spending time with family and friends a barrel of laughs —and boost brain power and creativity. Add even more joy to someone's holiday with Lush Bath Bombs which release essential oils to moisturize skin and lift spirits, allowing your nearest and dearest to unwind and de-stress. Choose from nearly 50 scents, including Golden Wonder which boasts citrus oils, and the Lil' Lush Pud which has a festive holiday feel thanks to lemon and clove scents.
• Roll over, Beethoven: you can now take piano lessons on your iPad.  Learning and playing music has been proven to be an excellent stress reliever and brain-booster.
• For foodies and home cooks, the OCD Cutting Board makes chopping, dicing and slicing fresh vegetables and herbs practically a science, as it allows you to mince down to the millimeter. Plus, variety is the spice of life with a Split Decision pie pan.  Please the entire family's palate – or support the calorie-conscious foodie on your list who may want to make just half a pie.
