6. For a Healthy Body: Enso Silicone Rings

Planning to hit the gym this year? Get it, girl! But picking up that set of dumbells or going for a swim can be hard to do with a wedding band.

The Enso medical-grade silicone ring is both stain- and sticky-resistant but thin and comfortable for everyday use. With these bands, you can demonstrate your commitment (to both your resolutions and your partner) without worry.

This sound machine, night light and time-to-rise indicator in one modern device allows you to customize and personalize bedtime for your family, all from your phone.
