We're giving away five Whole Foods gift cards worth $100 each just in time to shop for your Thanksgiving meal!

Unfortunately, the cards are only redeemable in the US and Canada, but you can check out the Whole Foods Market online store locator to find a store near you.

Not doing Thanksgiving at your house this year? Filling your cart with organic yummies while grocery shopping for the week would be a lot more fun with $100 to spend as you wish, wouldn't it?

To enter to win one of the five Whole Foods gift cards, all you have to do is log in and take this fun quiz. Your eligibility is not based on getting the answers correct, just simply by taking the quiz once you are logged in. However, taking the quiz a second time will NOT increase your chances of winning, since duplicate entries will be ignored.

So take the quiz now!

Ho Ho Ho! Healthy Gift Cards

FitSugar — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 13:05:03 -0800

Sometimes it's tough to pick out the right gift for that special someone. In those cases, a gift card is a great option, especially as a stocking stuffer. It lets the gifted know you're thinking of them but allows them to pick out something they really want or need. But you still want to encourage the people on your list to live healthy lifestyles, right? Here are some gift cards that will do just that.

Patagonia: Great technical clothes for active people, from wicking underwear and warm Capilene tops to windproof fleece jackets.
iTunes: The recipient can buy individual songs, albums, or workout playlists to help motivate her while she exercises.

For all of my picks, read more.

Whole Foods: Not only does this store have terrific organic produce and fresh baked whole grain breads, but it's also a great place to pick up supplements and natural beauty products.
EMS: The recipient can choose between outdoor clothes, shoes, climbing gear, skis, camping gear, and much more.
The North Face: A leader in outdoor clothing, this brand also has gear such as tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, and anything you'd need for your next outdoor adventure.
REI: Perfect for everything from clothes and outdoor gear to gifts for active pet and neat gadgets such as heart rate monitors and two-way radios.
Nike: Great sneakers, clothes, and equipment for the active person.
