The best of this year’s most comforting gifts
Written by Kelly Carbone
It’s no secret that 2020 has been a tough year on us all and that we all could use a little self-care right now. Now that we’re deep into the holiday season, it’s the perfect excuse to shower our loved ones with some fun yet essential self-care items. Check out the list below for some of this year’s finest gift options, even if you’re just treating yourself to a few (we promise we won’t judge!).
Cashmere Joggers
You can’t possibly have a self-care holiday guide without a comfy outfit and a matching jogger set is the perfect option. The matching set look helps you appear more put together and is great for everyone working from home. It’s the epitome of comfort and style. The holidays are also a great excuse to indulge and treat someone you love to a nice cashmere set.
Lavender Eye Mask
Lavender eye masks are great for a nice spa day or meditation session. With an inner cooling pad it will help reduce eye puffiness as well as keep you in tune with your senses. The lavender packs help further enhance this sensational experience and, along with the light blocking feature, can be used to create a calming effect for those having trouble quieting their mind before going to sleep. It’s perfect for your skin-care loving friend!
Sun Lamp
A sun lamp isn’t just a fun decorative piece for your room, it can also be used to help lessen symptoms of seasonal affective disorder as well as aid with sleeping troubles.
Positivity Planner
An important and often forgotten step of self-care is taking the time to make sure your day is organized, in order to avoid unnecessary stress and last minute planning. What better way to help you do this than with a nice positivity planner? We suggest a brand full of positive mantras and mental check-ins, like The Positive Planner. For the ultra organized person in your life trythere’s also Silk + Sonder, a monthly planner service that includes mood and habit trackers and is available in both paper and digital formats.
Deep Massager
2020 has been the year of stress and with this constant tension comes sore muscles and body pain. Knock out that pain with a super effective deep massager and soon you’ll be melting all that tension away. This is also the perfect gift for fitness fiends and those with chronic pain.
Shower Bomb
Transform your daily shower routine from mandatory hygiene task to your own personal mini spa experience with a nice shower bomb. Not only will this product leave your bathroom smelling great, it also transforms into a foam that helps moisturize your skin and omits the mess that many bath bombs leave behind. We suggest calming scents like lemon grass, eucalyptus, or lavender for the ultimate air of self care.
Grocery Subscription
Another great way to help elevate your mood and make sure you’re fully taking care of your body is with a healthy food subscription box, like Hungryroot. Each week you’ll receive a box full of a mix of pre-made goodies and healthy ingredients with recipe suggestions. This will not only save you meal prep time, it’ll also help you avoid grocery store runs (hello social distancing benefit!). Perfect for the foodie in your life or for someone looking to take a healthier turn for the new year.
Calligraphy Workbook
There’s no better serotonin boost than the feeling of accomplishing something and a great way to do that is with a simple and elegant calligraphy workbook. The smooth, repetitive movements are certain to help occupy your mind and make you enter a state of relaxation. When you’re finished you’ll end up with pages of delicate and graceful penmanship and a beautiful new skill. It’s ideal for those looking to flex their creative muscles.
Sips Subscription
Ditch your daily coffee run and start your day with a nice and calming cup of tea instead with the help of a Sips by subscription. This unique subscription box sends you a range of tea samples and cute tea goodies each month, all curated based on your own preferences so you’re sure to get something you like.
Yoga Mat
A custom yoga mat is not only a great gift but also a great reminder to take some time to get attuned with your body with some healthy physical activity. Look through Etsy to add a nice personalized touch with your gift recipient’s name and a nice chic design.
