The lowest-intervention option is a half-ball, like this balance disc from Gaiam, that you can place on any office chair you might already own or use. It’ll activate your core and give you many of the same health benefits as a more traditional ball chair would but with significantly less risk of falling.

Low-quality headsets are prone to damages, not to mention their poor sound capabilities. So your birthday/ Christmas gift can be an adequate replacement and the gift receiver will be more than thankful for them.

In 2014, The Wind and The Wave, a duo from Austin, TX, quietly released one of the best albums of the year. From The Wreckage glowed with a rootsy golden tone that encompassed everything from indie-folk, to alt-country to blues-rock to Southern psychedelia. Its creators, touring musician turned songwriter and producer Dwight Baker and singer-songwriter Patty Lynn, began making music together on a lark, never dreaming anything would come of it. Baker describes it as "kind of like what happens when two friends hold hands and jump in a freezing lake just to see what it feels like." Thanks to the undeniable chemistry between the pair, the music took on a life of its own and The Wind and The Wave soon found themselves with a major-label record deal, embarking on U.S. headlining tours supporting From The Wreckage, having their songs appear in such TV shows as Grey’s Anatomy, and racking up millions of plays on Spotify and Apple Music.
