Gift ideas for the 2016 holidays: Everything the zen spirit in your life could need
Everyone needs balance in their life, so in essence, this holiday guide for the zen spirit is for all of us.
Whether its daily yoga or just drinking a soothing tea, a little bit of self care goes a long way. And for holiday 2016 we're embracing the small additions to one's life or space that bring inner peace.
Naturally, for this zen list we have candles and incense, but we've also included cozy sleepwear and a Buddha statue from Wind & Weather. There's black tea and even a potted plant from CB2 that has a bit if glam-factor. And the best part: most of these items are under $100!
After enjoying our men's grooming options, check out these zen spirit gifts below.

Yes, it's a bit pricey for something you'll go to bed in and few people will see. But since it's recommended that we sleep 30% of the day, we might as well sleep in comfort.
