If there’s someone in your life who’s constantly super stressed out (You know you can think of at least one person—even if it’s yourself.) and you’re hoping to give them a little pick-me-up, you’ve come to the right place. Believe me, anyone who surrounds themselves with celebrity news knows something about stress. (Have you seen our coverage of Cardi B’s drama? Or the never-ending feuds between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez?). So, yeah, I’d say we have a pretty firm grasp on how to handle stress and, subsequently, what self-care gifts would be best for that one particularly tense person in your life.
After all, no matter how perfect someone’s life on Instagram looks, everyone has a rough day now and again. Maybe your best friend is a badass who’s always having to work late on projects—and all they really want is a night alone with a fancy candle and a glass of wine. Or perhaps there’s someone in your life who keeps hitting one obstacle after another, and you’re looking for a way to make their day just a little bit brighter. Self-care gifts can be more meaningful than you might think—and the difference between a friend or family member having a tough day or a relaxing one.
Sure, you could gift your loved ones a trip to the spa or a nice massage, but if you’re looking for something that they could use time and time again, then we’ve got you covered. Sometimes taking a moment for ourselves can be difficult, and a friend pushing you toward a little self-care makes all the difference. Just by giving someone a self-care gift, you’re showing them that you care about them (and their wellbeing). The little things in life add up, so go ahead and treat your loved ones to something that will brighten their day.
From aromatherapy tools to oracle decks to enlightening books about mindfulness, scroll through for our picks of top-shelf self-care gifts you can give to that special someone—or just yourself.
