How to Pick the Right Wellness Gifts for Everyone on Your Holiday List

Quick Answer: Choose the Theragun Relief for approachable, everyday muscle recovery, the Theragun Mini for portable recovery and the TheraFace Mask Glo for an upgraded skincare routine. The limited-edition Y2K Grape Blast Theragun Mini adds nostalgic 2000s style to the portable Mini.

Struggling to find the perfect gift for friends and family? Sick of worrying about favorite colors or ideal sizes? Simplify your shopping list by giving the gift of wellness this holiday season and you’ll only have to ask one question: Which option benefits my friend’s wellbeing the most?

That’s where Therabody’s self-care lineup comes in handy, especially when you choose one that fits something your giftee already enjoys doing. A massage gun might make sense for the runner who’s always complaining about sore legs, while someone with an elaborate skincare routine may get more use out of an LED face mask.

Here’s how to find the right Therabody model for each person on your list at Best Buy.

Which Therabody device fits each person on my gift list?

The best Therabody gift comes down to what the person you’re shopping for will actually use. Think about whether they’re more likely to reach for it after a workout, at their desk, while traveling or during their skincare routine.

A runner can put a massage gun to work after tough workouts, while a frequent traveler may prioritize a compact, lightweight design they can take on a business trip or vacation. For the skincare devotee, the TheraFace Mask Glo brings the focus to self-care, stimulating collagen production for firmer, more radiant skin. Think about how your recipient will actually use the gift, and the right fit becomes much easier to spot.

What to look for when choosing a Theragun

Choosing a Theragun is less about finding the model with the most features and more about figuring out which features you’ll actually use. Think about how and where you’ll use it, then consider:

• How often you’ll use it: Regular recovery or occasional soreness?

• Where you’ll use it: Mostly at home or at the gym and while traveling?

• Size, weight and grip: Consider portability, how comfortable it is to hold and whether you can reach areas like your back and shoulders.

• Intensity and speeds: Look at how much control you have over the massage.

• Attachments: Different attachments can target different muscles and areas of the body.

• Noise level: This may matter if you plan to use it around other people.

• Battery life: Frequent users and travelers may want longer stretches between charges.

• Budget: Consider which features matter enough to pay more for.

Theragun Relief vs. Mini: Which one should you gift?

For straightforward everyday recovery, the Theragun Relief is an approachable pick. It weighs 1.37 pounds and boasts one-button control with three speeds, plus standard ball, dampener and thumb attachments for treating different areas. 

Theragun Relief is good fit for someone who wants a massage gun without much of a learning curve, whether they’re sore after workouts or spend long hours at a desk. And you’re not just giving them a feel-good gift, either: A 2023 systematic review published in the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology found that massage guns may help improve short-term flexibility and range of motion and may support muscle recovery, although research remains limited.

People who travel a lot, meanwhile, may prefer the Theragun Mini 3rd Gen, which CNET’s experts named the best lightweight massage gun. It’s Therabody’s smallest and lightest Theragun, with three speeds and three attachments, plus Bluetooth connectivity to the Therabody app for additional controls and guided routines.

If it’ll mostly live at home, the Relief keeps things simple. If it’s going to the gym, out on the golf course or to the airport and everywhere in between, the Mini is easier to bring along.

What is the best Therabody gift for a self-care fan?

For someone who’s more concerned with skincare than sore muscles, the TheraFace Mask Glo makes more sense.

The wearable mask uses 504 LEDs to deliver red, red plus infrared and blue light across the face. A preset treatment takes 12 minutes, and the head strap adds vibration for a scalp massage.

Research into LED skincare is promising, although expectations should stay realistic. A randomized, double-blind study published in 2025 in Medicine found that a home-use mask combining red LED and infrared light improved crow’s-feet measurements compared with a sham device after 16 weeks of use.

The Mask Glo can also slip into an existing skincare routine: Put it on, start the preset treatment and let it cycle through its light modes. For someone who takes their skincare time seriously, it’s easy to picture this gift getting regular use.

Therabody’s new Y2K Mini is made for nostalgic tech fans

The limited-edition Y2K Grape Blast Theragun Mini gives Therabody’s portable massage gun an early-2000s makeover.

The translucent purple design takes its cues from the colorful, see-through electronics of the Y2K era, but underneath it’s a Theragun Mini 3rd Gen. You still get the compact design, three speeds, three attachments and Bluetooth connectivity.

It’s a fun pick for someone who’d appreciate a massage gun but doesn’t want another black or gray gadget, combining the Mini’s portability with a much more eye-catching design.

You can shop Therabody at Best Buy to find a recovery or self-care gift for someone on your list — even if that someone is yourself.
