Overview

This theme is obviously best suited for people who do yoga, but you don’t have to stick to that rule. Whether your giftee is a yoga master who has been practicing for years, or a total newbie, we can help you find something that works.

Gift Ideas

Think about things that a yoga lover would like to receive or do:
You can use the names of yoga poses as inspiration. A sample of the poses you can work with: boat, bow, bridge, cat, chair, cobra, cow, diamond, downward facing dog, dolphin, eagle, fish, half moon, hero, monkey, mountain, tree, warrior. There is even a pose called the wild thing which gives you a lot of flexibility (pun intended).
Pose specific suggestions:
- Animal poses: Working with the animal theme gives you tonnes of options: animal print clothing, snakeskin wallet, stuffed animal, new pets and a whole host of animal themed activities. For example: theatre (Cats), sporting events (Dolphins, Eagles), music (The Arctic Monkeys), dining (The Drum and Monkey pub), a trip to the zoo, swimming with dolphins… Keep in mind fish pose can represent an actual fish/aquarium or it could also work for a seafood dinner.
- Tree, boat and mountain poses: plants, hikes in the woods/mountains, rock climbing, canoeing, cruises…
- Half moon pose: stargazing, a trip to your local observatory…
- Eagle pose: since the eagle is a bird, and ‘bird’ is common name for an airplane, consider giving a flight somewhere.
- Chair pose could be used in a couple ways.
  - Literally. If you’re giving them a chair.
  - Figuratively. If you’re getting them “seats” to an event like a hockey game.
- Diamond pose can also be used in a couple ways:
  - Jewelry: consider this theme if you’re getting engaged or have an anniversary coming up.
  - Skiing/snowboarding: eg: black ‘diamond’ run.
Yoga related items: any yoga supplies/gear, passes for yoga classes…
You can keep the theme simple and just present gifts around yoga or you can incorporate other themes. For instance: our Animal Lover, Going Wild, Senses and Elements themes share some similar gift ideas.

Wrapping

Try wrapping your gift with plain paper and applying pictures of yoga poses onto the gift, or draw them on yourself (stick figures).
Tie a small yoga related item into the ribbon around the gift (eg: hair band).
For smaller gifts, add a unique touch by making your own box.

Presentation

Try showing the pose the gift is based on before your giftee can open it (if you feel comfortable and flexible enough to do so). Or conversely, have your giftee show the pose themselves before opening the gift.
Use quotes or phrases that relate to your theme (and all the poses) when you present the gifts or in your card. For example:
- Hot diggety ‘dog’! Have a great birthday!
- Hope your birthday is as fun as a barrel of ‘monkeys’.
- Do whatever floats your ‘boat’ this birthday!
- We haved moved ‘mountains’ together. Happy anniversary!
- If you’re giving some alcohol as a gift you could call it “hair of the ‘dog’ that bit you”.
