Journals: Journaling is a great way to reflect on emotions. The Five-Minute Journal has simple prompts to follow on a daily basis (and it only takes five minutes!)
Books: Here are some of my favorite self-improvement books -
Kindle or book subscription: Kindles are a great gift for the avid reader in your life! There are also subscription services like Blind Date with a Book that make for a thoughtful gift.
Coloring books: Coloring or any creative outlet such as painting or drawing allows you to be mindful and creative.
Subscription: Mindfulness apps such as Headspace or Calm are a great way to give the gift of a new habit for someone!
Acupuncture rings: These pinpoint senses in your fingers to help you feel calm. Acupuncture rings are great stocking stuffers!
Breathe stickers: These stickers use the box-breathing technique to promote deep breaths and relaxation.
Aromatherapy candle: Scented candles are great to make a space feel cozy and specifically aromatherapy candles can invite a sense of calm.
Aromatherapy shower steamers: Shower steamers are a great way to turn your average shower into a calming spa environment!
Weighted blanket: These blankets are extremely helpful for anxiety as the heaviness can calm your nervous system.
Weighted stuffed animal: These animals function similarly to weighted blankets but are able to apply more targeted pressure. These can come with a calming cent and can be put in the fridge or microwave for extra benefits!
Bath bombs: Not only are these a fun way to romanticize bathtime, but it encourages taking time for someone’s self-care.
Gift card to spa: Messages or other treatments are a great gift to someone who is need of a self-care day!
Wellness planner: Planners can help people feel organized and less overwhelmed. Ban.do has my favorite planners!
Diffuser with essential oils: Oil diffusers promote improved sleep, reduced stress levels, better focus and many physical health benefits.
Affirmation card deck: Affirmation cards promote a positive mindset that you can carry through your day!
Yoga mat/class pass: Yoga is a great form of exercise that promotes mindfulness and grounding.
Fidget toys: Fidget toys are a great way to release excess energy and regulate your nervous system. They’re especially helpful for those with ADHD/anxiety!
