THERAGUN MINI
I’ve always enjoyed using a Theragun when the opportunity arose, but have never owned one myself. The reason? They. Are. Expensive. Finally Theragun have released another model with a more realistic price tag that still does the job!
For those that haven’t felt the ‘pleasure’ of a Theragun, give this smaller version of the self massager to your significant other… a selfless way of gifting yourself one. You won’t regret it, although your muscles might.

Not only are they comfy AF, they’re good for the planet. For every pair of Cariuma sneakers purchased, the brand will personally plant a pair of trees in the Brazilian Rainforest, the lungs of the world, to directly aid reforestation & the preservation of our endangered species’ natural habitat through their own reforestation program. Big time swoon.

SONOS MOVE
Music during a workout is a non-negotiable, and headphones have their limitations, especially when going hard or working out with others. The Sonos Move eliminates most of the issues associated with gym, home gym, or even living room workouts; it’s voice activated so you don’t need to interrupt your workout by looking at your phone to change the track, it has an 11 hour battery life, and it was heat tested inside industrial ovens, so the Aussie summer heat will be no match. Portable, weather resistant, and fully wifi and bluetooth enabled… it’s the perfect addition to the home gym set up.

PALETTE BY JONO FLEMING
Healthy family members spring from healthy minds, and there are shortcuts you can take to boosting your loved ones’ serotonin. According to a study in the Journal of Coastal Zone Management, those who live in houses with ocean views felt calmer than their inland counterparts. This is largely due an influx in the colour blue, a psychologically calming colour, also linked with boost in creativity according to another study published in the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s journal. However we’re not suggesting hooking the folks up with a beach house. Instead, bring the coast to them with a professional print from Palette. Choose from three collections created by Australian artists, each canvas ready to hang in a floating frame with FREE shipping in Australia. Boom, relaxation on demand.
