Holiday shopping is just around the corner and each year I’m always on the lookout for unique gifts for loved ones that I can pick up right here at home. As you consider what to put under the tree this year, I’ve handpicked six local small businesses that have wellness-inspired gift options to shop from this holiday season.
Coffee and Manifest
Coffee and Manifest is a new shop in Hagatña carrying a range of self-care and personal development products.
Started with a mission to encourage women to learn all the ways we can improve ourselves every day, they carry simple and practical products including planners, water and glass bottles and accessories for your home and office.
You can also check out their website to build your own custom planner, and find templates for topics like self-care, finance and fitness.

Inspigher
Inspired by travel and real life stories, Inspigher is a Guam-based active wear and apparel brand created for everyone, everywhere. Their product mix consists of women’s active wear including sports bras, shorts and leggings complimented by a limited release of tees and caps.
Follow them on Instagram @inspigher for details on their upcoming holiday releases.
Surf Your Soul
Based on Guam and locally owned, Surf Your Soul is a Guam swimwear brand promoting sustainability through their products. Carrying tees, bikinis and stickers on their website, their new Holiday Drop will add two designs inspired by the swells that hit Guam during the winter season. Their shirts are soft, lightweight and ethically made with sustainable fabrics and dyes.
Holiday Drop items will be available for purchase at their pop-up Dec. 4 at Agana Shopping Center, on their website surfyoursoul.co or at Seas and Sidewalks at Micronesia Mall.
