But first …

What Is Ice Barrel?

This is no ordinary ice bath; Ice Barrel is a cold therapy-training tool designed to give the best results from cold plunge recovery and treatment. Ice baths are therapeutically proven to improve mental and emotional well-being and provide amazing renewal benefits. Ice Barrel’s lightweight, portable, and compact design makes it easy to add this to your healthy lifestyle. The system features a one-size-fits-all enclosure that allows you to sit in an upright position for a fully immersive experience as you focus and relax. 

What Makes Ice Barrel a Good Gift?

Ice bathing for post-exercise recovery is one of the hottest trends in fitness right now, and the unique full-immersion cold therapy that Ice Barrel provides comes highly recommended by several fitness and health magazines such as Muscle & Fitness, Men’sHealth, Runner’s World, and Greatist. In fact, Mobility Athlete said Ice Barrel was “One of our favorite products,” further adding that the creative design provides “A straightforward way to simplify your cold immersion at home.”

An Ice Barrel will also make an impressive-looking holiday gift. It’s aesthetically appealing with the option to choose either black or desert tan colors. Additionally, upkeep and maintenance are of little concern compared to other types of ice tubs; you only have to refresh the water every two to four weeks.

It’s worth noting that owning an Ice Barrel will save a person money in the long run; considering cryotherapy treatments can cost $60 per session. After only 16 uses, your Ice Barrel will pay for itself and all with the convenience of taking the plunge at home.

The Best Person To Gift Ice Barrel

Ice Barrel cold therapy treatment is particularly beneficial to athletes, fitness enthusiasts, runners, and people suffering from health conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, and even mood disorders. If you have someone like this on your Christmas list, then let’s explore exactly how Ice Barrel would make their holidays a better one.

Athletes and Fitness Enthusiasts

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts have long been using ice baths for post-exercise recovery for pain and swelling. Ice Barrel offers an enhanced, professional-standard cold plunge experience to expedite this recovery process right at home or anywhere outdoors, for that matter. It’s considered the go-to home ice bath for athletes for good reason since it eliminates challenges many face with resorting to cold showers, shallow bathtubs, inflatable baths, and other DIY or makeshift solutions.

Those With Arthritis, Sciatica, And Fibromyalgia

If someone you know has an autoimmune disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis, sciatica, or fibromyalgia, they would want nothing more than an ice bath Christmas gift and the countless follow-up cold plunges that Ice Barrel can provide. Ice Barrel offers a non-pharmaceutical, short-term relief to joint, nerve, and musculoskeletal pain symptoms, allowing for chronic pain management and treatment. Side effects of these inflammatory responses like fatigue, sleep, memory, and mood issues can also be improved with ice bath treatments. 

Those With Depression, Mood Disorders

Complete body immersion via cold therapy has been linked to improving psychological factors, including depression and mood disorders, later leading to feelings of positiveness and general well-being. Taking a cold plunge releases endorphins and mood-enhancing chemicals in the brain. Just soaking for five minutes, two to three times per week, has shown to help relieve symptoms of depression in a clinical trial, with the effects lasting at least two weeks after a session.

Note – Although Ice Barrel makes the perfect at-home ice bath Christmas gift for people who rely on cold therapy treatment, it’s also a terrific gift for others who just want to make it a part of their routine or lifestyle.

Setting Up Your Ice Barrel

Now that we’ve explored all the great reasons why Ice Barrel will make the perfect holiday gift, it’s probably a good time to discover what’s needed to get one up and running.

As to how to keep it a surprise, the Ice Barrel is 42” high by 31” wide and the opening 25” wide, so you may want to hide it in a garage or large closet to not ruin the wow factor upon unwrapping this amazing ice bath Christmas gift.
