#9 Weighted Blanket
Weighted blankets offer a comforting sensation similar to being enveloped in the warm embrace of a loved one. This unique experience of gentle pressure can provide a sense of security and comfort, making them an effective tool for managing anxiety and promoting relaxation. The soothing touch of these blankets can be particularly beneficial, as touch plays a vital role in our overall well-being—both physically and mentally.
By mimicking the feeling of a nurturing hug, weighted blankets harness the restorative power of touch, helping to alleviate stress, improve sleep quality, and build a deeper sense of connection to oneself. So, wrap yourself in the therapeutic embrace of a weighted blanket and experience its healing benefits for your mind and body.
#8 Meditation Light
The Mindfulness Breathing Buddy is truly exceptional, designed to enhance your guided breathing meditation experience. This innovative tool features a variety of breathing exercises, each tailored to provide a calming and soothing meditative experience. One of my personal favorites is the 4-7-8 breathing technique, which I’ve found to be incredibly effective for alleviating anxiety and managing stress levels.
Our Breathing Buddies also have a few other breathing exercises to enjoy, as well light settings. I love this because on days I have migraines or my eyes are extra sensitive, I can dim Hedwig (my owl Breathing Buddy) to a lower light setting. The versatility is so convenient and enables me to use my breathing buddy consistently. 
#7 Activity Gift
Some gifts can’t be held in your hands, but are unforgettable experience. One of my favorite experiences was an immersive Van Gogh exhibit. It was my first time going out by myself, and I got to enjoy quality time with some of my favorite artists pieces. Remember, engaging in these activities—whether it’s sipping on a delightful coffee in a cafe, browsing the shelves of a bookstore, or admiring stunning artwork—can energize you and lift your spirits. Even a short outing can have a profound impact on your mental and physical well-being, so make the effort to get up and move, even if it’s just for a little while.
#6 Heated Blanket
Whether it’s to bundle up in comfort or to warm the chill in your heart on a rough day, heated blankets are always a great gift! Growing up one of my favorite comforts when I was having a bad day, is when my mom would call me over and wrap me in a warm blanket fresh out of the dryer🥰. We love how heated blankets encompass that warm, comfort, and how soothing they are for sore muscles.
#5 Skincare
Revitalize and nourish your skin that has been harshly affected by the winter months. Experience the transformative power of our Self Care Sugar Scrubs paired perfectly with our matching Body Oils! Begin your rejuvenation by using the exfoliating scrub, which gently massages away not only dead skin but also helps to release worries, negative emotions, and self-doubts that may have accumulated. As you scrub, you’ll feel the stress of winter melt away, leaving your spirit uplifted.
#4 Nodpod
If you know anything about me, you know how much I value sleep. It’s great for your physical and mental health, and prevents the grumpy exhausted goblin I can be. I am not one of those people who can survive on only a few hours of sleep, and you most definitely don’t want to be near me when I am.
I started using my NodPod about 2 years ago, when my Mimi bought one for my severe insomnia. I absolutely LOVED it and I have barely been able to sleep without it since. It is so comfortable and soothing, and it’s great for naps during the day to block out the light. Needless to say Im obsessed have 3, and I’ve never slept better.
#3 Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy can be a wonderful tool for self care and relaxation. Whether it’s in the car with our Hanging and Crystal Vent Clip Diffusers, take the serenity wherever you go! Candles and shower steamers like the ones in our Self Care Kits are also great for aromatherapeutic uses! We also love using natural essential oils in scent diffusers, just be careful which oils you use if you have pets!
#2 Self Love Journal
Journals are an amazing way to express yourself and great for healing. There are a number of ways to gift a Self Love Journal- we have daily planners, mood, and habit trackers in our Self Care , as well as tips on making a Bullet Journal for a much more personalized touch. Bullet Journaling has been a life changer for us, and what a better gift than a better relationship with yourself?
