The gift of health is probably the best present you can give your friends and family this holiday season. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), flu season typically peaks in December, just in time for all the Yuletide jubilation. 

Unfortunately for us in the US, it’s already started – gastroenteritis cases are currently on the rise, and speaking as one of its casualties last week, this new stomach bug will sock you in the gut and then kick you over and over while you’re down. And that’s not even the seasonal influenza that targets the respiratory system.

Of course, as the Department of Health recommends, we should look into getting the flu vaccine, as it lowers the chances of catching the virus and the risk of developing serious complications if you do get it. But there are other things we can do as well to keep the germs at bay, including investing in a reliable air purifier and, if you (or our loved ones) are like me and live in a moisture-vacuum area, a good humidifier as well.

Air purifiers are capable of getting rid of the smallest airborne microbes, including flu viruses, while humidifiers are also known to reduce such harmful pathogens since flu viruses tend to thrive in dry air conditions. As a bonus, humidifiers can soothe your respiratory passages, if you do catch something.

The good news is, there are many air purifiers and humidifiers on sale right now, especially at Amazon. So, whether you’re looking for the perfect present for your partner, a great gift at your company’s gift exchange, or something to keep you from skipping all those holiday parties, grabbing one of the ones below is a wise choice. 

It may not be as exciting as a new pair of headphones or a brand-spanking-new TV, but it could keep your giftee healthy so they don’t miss out on all the merriment.

Amazon is offering discounts on air purifiers and humidifiers in the US. So you can keep those winter illness blues away for less. Since there are so many models out there, I picked the best holiday deals from trusted brands
