When it comes to gift-giving, practicality is always a great consideration. Here are some practical gifts that start with the letter I that you can consider for your loved ones.
Ice bath
Let me explain this. Products like “The Cold Pod” are marketed as ice baths for athletes. You must understand that ice baths are considered a healthy practice. Although most of the models in the promo pictures are male, women participate too.
When buying an ice tub, make sure you buy one that fits you. Some are even noted for “extra long” people. For convenience, many of the products are inflatable, but you can locate an actual ice bath barrel. Some people even refer to this as an “ice plunge tub.”

Like most Japanese gifts to the world, I’m sure the ikigai concept has been around for a long time. It does seem quite similar to today’s popular personality tests that often try to offer guidance to the user.

Ikigai test
Ikigai test is a tool that helps individuals identify their purpose in life by examining four key areas: what they love, what they are good at, what the world needs, and what they can be paid for. The word “ikigai” comes from the Japanese language and translates to “a reason for being” or “a reason to get up in the morning.” The test is designed to help people find their passion, align it with their skills and abilities, and use it to make a positive impact on the world while also earning a living.

Ikigai can be a life-changing experience where one goes deep into their soul. Anyone on the Ikigai journey will surely collect their favorite Ikigai quotes along the way:
- “Your ikigai is at the intersection of what you are good at and what you love doing.” – Hector Garcia Puigcerver
- “Ikigai is the art of doing something with complete presence and joy.” – Hector Garcia Puigcerver
- “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” – Eleanor Roosevelt (this quote is often associated with the concept of Ikigai)
