Best Meditation Gifts for Him
What are the best gifts for meditation lovers who are men? Well, we've curated a list for just that. We've put together a list of 10 different types of meditation gifts for him, from books to meditation props, and more.
Of the gifts and brands we've curated, we made sure that they are the as ethical and sustainable as possible and we support small business as much as we can.
1. Meditation Books for Him
Help him enhance his meditation practice and knowledge by gifting him a meditation book from some of the top authors and educators on the subject.
Eckhart Tolle is a leading teacher of spirituality and his most well known book The Power of Now is a must have for any meditator.
His other countless books are great for meditation learners and practitioners as well, especially his book Stillness Speaks.
One of the best meditation gifts for him if he’s a beginner is this practical guide to meditation by Pema Chodron.
He will learn multiple techniques for meditation in this book.
Pema uses a gentle approach to help beginners in mediation, 81% of amazon reviewers give this book 5 stars.
Michael Singer is a New York Times Best Seller with his meditation books.
This book should definitely be on the list for every meditator, but some find it more abstract and less practical, the book is enlightening but may leave some lost on how to proceed.
So, we recommend this book more for an experienced meditation practitioner rather than a novice.
2. Meditation Seating for Him
Every meditator needs a good meditation cushion or seat. Meditation seating really helps to support and enhance the meditation practice.
A great meditation gift for him would be an eco-friendly, comfortable meditation seat.
Here are the best 3 meditation seats we have found that are both supportive and eco friendly.
Price | $49 - $149
Sustainability | GOTS certified, vegan certified
Brentwood Home is known for their home products like mattresses and bedding, but their Crystal Cove Yoga Collection is amazing.
The Crystal Cove Yoga Collection is a set of 3 different pillows that you can buy separately or together in a set.
There is a yoga bolster, a pranayama pillow, and a meditation pillow.
The entire Crystal Cove Yoga Collection is vegan certified. They are made of GOTS certified Organic cotton and is filled with sustainable natural buckwheat hulls. These pillows are handmade in the USA.
Any of these Brentwood meditation pillows would make a great meditation gift for the man in your life.

The shop also has a few different options for meditation pillows for you to decide upon.
3. Zen Scents for Him
Involving the senses in our meditation can help set the mood for our practice and be a point of concentration as well.
Some of the best mediation gifts for him involve the sense of smell.
Price | $95 - $195
Sustainability | Plastic free, no heat or water required, handcrafted
Essential oil diffusers are very well-known and are used by so many, no just meditators. Diffusers are a great gift for meditators because they allow for the sense of smell to get involved in the meditation.
There are many different types of diffusers but we wanted to highlight nebulizing diffusers from Organic Aromas. Nebulizing diffusers use no heat or water to diffuse the aroma of the essential oil. According to Organic Aromas, this type of diffuser "uses the Bernoullis Principle to atomize pure essential oil into tiny micro-particles."
Without the use of heat or water, the essential oil scent is not diluted at all, giving off pure essential oil smells. These particular diffusers also do not use any plastic, making them more eco friendly.
Organic Aromas offers standard nebulizing diffusers and also specialty carved nebulizing diffusers if you are looking for an extra special zen gift for your man.
Price | $12 - $190
Sustainability | 100% organic
Essential oils are another great gift inviting the sense of smell into the meditation practice.
We love essential oils because they are so versatile and convenient. You can use the essential oils in the diffuser or place them in certain spots on the body, the neck, wrists, etc to keep the smells with you as you meditate. (please be sure you are not allergic to any oils before using and dilute any oils being placed directly on the body)
We chose Organic Aromas again here because they offer pure organic essential oils. They offer single oils, blends, and full sets with all the accessories you need.
Price | $10 - $24
Sustainability | Vegan, no synthetics, handcrafted
Incense also invite in the sense of smell to a meditation practice as well as a sense of spirituality.
Some meditation practitioners use the incense as their focal point during meditation, watching the incense burn down.
We love the incense and incense holders at Seawitch Botanicals. Their incense is vegan, and all natural with no synthetic fragrances. We also love that they add which elements, associations, and zodiac signs are aligned with each incense type.
Their incense holders are also special. They are artisan made by Twig Earthgoods of red clay with an iron wash finish.
Seawitch Botanicals is a small shop run by a group of all women, using recyclable packaging and natural ingredients. Gifting your man a meditation gift from this small woman-led eco business is something you will both feel good about.
4. Noise Cancelling Headphones
Sometimes the ideal meditation environment is not available, that doesn't mean it has to ruin a meditation practice. Noise cancelling headphones brings the zen right you, anywhere you may be.
Unfortunately, electronics companies are not known for their environmentally friendly practices. But, among the bunch there are a few that are making real efforts to care for the planet while making their electronics.
Apple received a B- rating from GreenPeace on their 2017 company report card. Apple has committed to using renewable energy.
The best noisecancelling headphones that apple produces are the Beats Studio 3 and the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700.

We love the eye pillows from Etsy shop goldsophie. We chose the Eye Pillow Yoga Moon as one of our zen gifts for him.
This particular eye pillow was our choice, because its moon shape makes it great to use as an eye pillow as well as a neck pillow.
The Eye Pillow Yoga Moon is made with 100% organic cotton & unbleached/undyed soft satin. The filling is organic lavender flowers and organic gold seed.

8. Meditation Decor
Make his meditation space complete with zen meditation decor.

The sound of water brings a calming energy to any space. Adding a waterfall to a meditation space allows the sense of sound to the practice.

Plants bring good vibrations and color to any room. Get your man a plant or two as a meditation gift to bring some color and good vibes to his space.
9. Sensory Deprivation Tank
A sensory deprivation tank is a float tank that is soundproof and filled with saltwater so you float, feeling weightless. These tanks are gaining popularity and are used as a for of stimulation therapy and meditation.
Companies like Float8 and others specialize in these tanks. It is viewed by many as a transformational meditation experience. If he hasn't tried a float tank before, get him a gift certificate for a 60 or 90 minute session at a local float spa.
10. Private Meditation Instructor
Meditation is a solitary practice, but the guidance of a teacher can bring a new perspective, guidance, and assistance.
There are many different types of meditation and some do require a teacher. Instead of joining a group class, having a private meditation teacher come to your home can be an extra special meditation gift for him. Your private meditation teacher can simply guide you through a meditation or can specialize in certain type of meditation like Yoga Nidra, sound healing, and reiki.
You can find local meditation and yoga instructors in your area by doing a simple google search, or by using platforms such as Thumbtack and Takelessons.
Showing the man in your life that you are supportive towards his meditation practice by getting him any of the gifts listed above from ethical and sustainable companies is great, but you can also try doing a meditation practice together or having him guide you or teach you about why he loves meditation as well and it would be just as special.
