It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's also the busiest time of the year. And the stress of the holidays can take a toll on even the most balanced and centered yogi.

And the best part, you can do all your shopping right here, right now.

It doesn't matter how old you are, who doesn't love getting a stocking filled with little presents? These are sure to please, so don't stop at just one gift - grab a stocking and fill it up!

Nomaterra
Essential oils are so 2014. This year's choice - Nomaterra. Nomaterra uses all natural oils to inspire fragrances that are reminiscent of particular locations including Oahu and Cape Cod. Our fav? The orange blossom sweetness of Miami. Plus, unlike essential oils that spill all over the place, Nomaterra oils are roll-on so you get the perfect amount each time.

Stone of Heaven Bracelet
What yogi doesn't love crystals and charms? The Stone of Heaven Bracelet

Eminence Organics
Taking care of your skin is a must. Lots of water and the right products make it easier to stop Mother Nature in her tracks. Our go to? Eminence Organics. Eminence is all-natural, and you can pronounce every ingredient on the label. We recommend the luxuriousm Blueberry Soy Night Recovery Cream - the perfect remedy for night after night of holiday soirees.

The yoga clothing industry, deemed Athleisure wear by Merriam-Webster, is one of the fastest growing industries. Even though yoga teaches Aparigraha (non-materialism), what yogi doesn't love stuff (shirts, yoga pants, yoga bags, Yogitoes, etc., etc., etc.)? So here are a few more suggestions to make the season brighter!

Gaiam Sol Yoga Mat
Yoga mats are like cars. Every one likes different styles and colors. While a mat is a personal choice, we'd be remiss if we didn't recommend our favorite - the Gaiam Sol Dry-Grip Yoga Mat. Out of all the mats we've tried over the years (and there's been a quite a few) this is the only one that delivered on its promise of being non-slip.

Yoda Yoga Mat
We searched high and low for Star Wars inspired yoga gifts, and came up short (we don't count the Star Wars Kama Sutra - you can Google it - as very festive). But we did find this adorable Yoda Yoga Mat (say that fast three times). Yoda's philosophy just might rival Buddha's.

LifeFuels
Coming in 2016 (but you can one order now) - the LifeFuels bottle. As the name indicates, this souped-up water bottle makes it easy to take all your vitamins and supplements every day - just add them to your water through a "FuelPod." The best part? LifeFuels measures and tracks the recommended doses so you always get the right amount. LifeFuels also includes technology to link to your other health apps to provide you with a complete picture of your overall wellbeing.

RainbowLove Greetings
If you haven't sent out Christmas cards yet, save yourself the postage and instead create your own yoga-inspired eCard with RainbowLove Greetings. This cute photo editing and eCard app is sure to please aspiring yogis. Colorful and fun, this app offers hand-drawn yoga and boho art (unique to RainbowLove) that can be added to any of your photos, or one of the photos in app. Get creative!

The holiday season is in full swing and bringing a gift to a party is a must (thank you, Amy Vanderbilt). The old standby's - liquor, flowers, and food - still apply. But this year, go local. Not only does buying local support your community, but you are sure to find unique treats that will please even the pickiest hostess!

Colorado Honey
While we don't tipple anymore, around the holidays we might join in the festivities for a glass or two. Flavored whiskeys are all the rage this year, and our favorite is Colorado Honey from Honey House Distillery from Durango, Colorado. As a gift, even for non-drinkers like us, Colorado Honey is perfect for the chef in the family. Reduce the whiskey for a dessert sauce or topping for ice cream (trust us, your yogi won't be disappointed).

Undone Chocolate
It's been scientifically proven that chocolate can be good for you so you don't need to feel badly about indulging over the holidays. And now with handcrafted chocolates hitting the market, chocolate is even healthier. Undone Chocolate, made in Washington, DC, only has two ingredients - organic cacao and sugarcane. Undone is chocolate pure and simple. We're all about the Himalayan Pink Salt.

UrbanStems
When it comes to flowers, especially delivery, it's hard to find flowers that stand up to travel and the weather. But with UrbanStems, a new start-up flower company in New York and DC, you don't have to worry about either. Freshly cut flowers are ordered and delivered same day, with bouquets starting at $35 (including all delivery charges). These holiday arrangements will brighten any table.

What's hot right now? There are the usual gifts - dharma wheels, mala bracelets, and the latest health fad - that you could easily buy. But why not get more creative with one of these recommendations?

Coloring Books
The hottest gift this season? Adult coloring books (no, not that kind of "adult"). Adult coloring books offer hours of entertainment, while decreasing stress. Coloring is the new mindfulness. We love Millie Marlotta's books. Pick up some colored pencils and colored pens (be sure to get pens that don't bleed through the paper) and wrap it all up with a big ribbon and watch the transformation of adult to child.
