As if trying to find the perfect gift for your friends and family members wasn’t hard enough, now you’ve been tasked with pleasing hundreds of your colleagues this holiday season. Zeel to the rescue! Here is our our very first, wellness-centric holiday gift-giving guide to keep your office happy, healthy, and productive. Corporate America, you’re welcome. Here’s to a #zeelgood winter. (We promise, Keto eggnog did not make the list.)
Everyone loves an office perk. Imagine how much more productive your employees would be if they had a chance to relax during their hectic work day. By offering corporate massage to your employees, you’re proving to them that you care, and that they are valued and appreciated. Massage therapists—all licensed and fully vetted by the Zeel team—travel to your office and offer in- office chair massages for the neck, back and arms for 5-20 minutes. Increased employee morale equals a win-win during the chaotic holiday times. Plus, now Zeel offers online booking for same-day massages to the office. Go ahead, be the office hero.

We all need to stay hydrated. And there’s no reason we can’t do it in style. The shatter-resistant Soma Glass Water Bottle comes in a soft silicone sleeve available in several saturated hues with a leak-proof bamboo cap. (You can even customize them with your brand’s logo.) And the best part? For every Soma Glass Water Bottle purchased, a donation gets made to charity: water to support safe drinking water projects globally. Pardon the cliche but it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Image credit: Ty Mecham via Food 52
