December is in full swing and we’re in a sprint to the end of the year. If you’ve been busy and still have more gifts to get this holiday season, you might be scouring websites and social posts for “the best gifts of 2022” for inspiration. The BHOF staff have pulled together our own short inspiring list, Gifts for Better Bone Health. We’ve chosen a variety of things at a wide range of price points. Maybe something on our list will help you to make bone health a priority in your life and/or in the lives of those you love!
