Are you looking for or in need of health and self-care, year- round gift ideas? I ask because I don’t know about you, but I need gifts throughout the year, not just around the holidays. There are birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, somebody accomplished something big, got married—the list goes on.
Over the next couple of months, I will be presenting a post on gifts that can help you throughout the year when you need gift ideas. For ourselves, friends, relatives, hubby, guy friends, young adults/teenagers and younger kids.
This first post in the series is for when you need a gift for someone that is into health and self-care. Maybe they never have time to stop and take care of themselves, don’t know how to slow down or has a very stressful job.
Some of these gifts are probably things they would not buy for themselves even if they want them, so that makes those items the perfect gift. And makes these gifts a no-brainer on your part.
Let’s Pamper Someone With These Self-Care Gift Ideas
**Plush Robe
What every woman needs—A gorgeous, plush, comfy robe. Alexander Del Rossa Women’s Warm Fleece Winter Robe with Hood is a must on cold winter nights or just to snuggle in while watching a good movie.
**Ugg Women’s Cozy Slippers
This is definitely luxury for your feet. Put these together with the plush robe and all I can say is…ahhhhhhhhh.
**Pillow Spray for Sleep
Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Pillow Mist made with natural essential oils. I chose one in lavender and vanilla, but you can also choose from Vanilla/Patchouli, Eucalyptus/Tea, Lavender/Cedarwood or Eucalyptus/Spearmint.
**Manta Sleep Mask
If you like total darkness when you sleep or know someone who does, this is the perfect gift. This mask blocks out all light while at the same time leaving plenty of room and no pressure on the eyes. The mask is also adjustable, so should fit most.
**Circadian Therapy Lamp
Do you know someone that has trouble sleeping or suffers from seasonal affective disorder (SAD) in the winter months? If so, this lamp could help them quite a bit for a self-care gift idea. I have one and love it. I keep it on my desk in the winter and use it in the morning to wake me up. This lamp is full spectrum with 10,000 LUX of brightness—just what is needed.
**Glass Teapot With Infuser
This gift is for those that like to pamper themselves with steeping their own loose tea. The pot is microwaveable and stovetop safe, has a removable stainless-steel infuser and comes with six glass teacups. Great for a tea party!!
**Mug Warmer
I have a mug warmer on my desk that I use all the time. I think its one of those “why didn’t someone come up with this sooner, gadgets.” This mug warmer stays on for four hours then automatically shuts off for safety. It comes in different colors and would make a fantastic self-care gift.
**Bath Caddy
Domax expandable bathtub caddy. Made of bamboo, it won’t warp, and it has lots of space for things like a drink, soap and your kindle or ipad. Nothing like relaxing in a bath while reading your favorite book.
**Tranquil Serenity Bath Bomb With A Surprise
Made with all natural essential oils, ultra-lush and fizzy with a surprise inside. Lots of TLC here and then a goodie afterwards!
**PMD Clean – Smart Facial Cleansing Device
Pamper yourself with this silicone brush and anti-aging massager. It’s waterproof and will help firm, lift and tone your skin. A definite to check out!
**ChiliSleep Cube Sleep System
A Cooling and Heating Mattress Pad with individual temperature controls. This is a water-based system geared toward help sleep quality with you are a cooler or warm sleeper. Control can be set to drop by one degree increments to make you slightly cooler to induce sleep. Or…..
**BedJet 3 Climate Control For Bed (Heat/Cool) for a Great Self-Care Gift Idea
Dual zone temperature control for separate cooling/warming for each half of the bed. This would be great for hot flashes, night sweats or hot or cool sleepers without bothering your partner. Talk about pampering!!
**Silk’n Jewel Hair Removal Device
Need a gift for someone that you know is tired of having to go somewhere to pay for hair removal? Give them a Silk’n Jewel Hair Removal Device that they can use whenever they want without leaving there home. And it’s small enough to travel along with you.
**Hatch Restore Sunrise Alarm Clock
This clock does several things from bedside reading lamp to waking up to natural light. It will help you get into a sleep-wake routine.
**Seven Chakra Leather Journal (Two for One Self-Care Gift Idea)
For the friend that loves to write in a journal and also keeps their chakras balanced. They will absolutely LOVE this 200 page journal or sketch book. This is a gift that will show you pay attention.
The Techie
**Bose Portable Bluetooth Speaker
The ultimate in speakers that can be taken anywhere. It’s small and water-resistant with built-in mic and comes in several colors.
**Fast Charger Cord
I gave several of these cords out at Christmas this past year and they were a big hit. And make sure to get no less than a 6 foot cord (I gave out the 10 ft.), because there is nothing worse than a cord that is too short to continue using your phone while it is charging.
This cord comes in a two pack, is Mfi certified lightning cable and has reinforced joints to stop breakage. Just make sure it’s the correct cord for what it will be charging.
**Kindle Paperwhite
I know this is a must have for anyone that loves to read because I have one. I LOVE IT! With a display of 6.8” it is small enough for be to carry in my purse, but still large enough for me to read with no problem.
And because is it waterproof, I even used it to read on a raft in my pool this past summer and also took it to the beach. It was wonderful not having to worry if it got wet. And did I mention it holds thousands of books! What’s not to like???
Memberships or Subscriptions Can Make Great Self-Care Gifts
**Amazon Prime Membership
If you have friends and family that you need a gift for and they don’t have a Amazon Prime Membership, this is the gift that keeps on giving. This membership includes all kinds of shopping with no shipping charges (Prime items), different delivery time options and Prime music for thousands of songs and stations to listen to. And if that isn’t enough there is also Prime video, movies and TV shows to watch with your membership. And that’s just a few things that the membership includes for $12.99/month or one yearly fee of $119.00 after the 30 day free trial.
**Kindle Unlimited Membership
Kindle Unlimited includes these benefits: unlimited reading, magazine subscriptions and unlimited listening with book audio all on any device. Right now you can get a 30 day free trial, then the membership renews at $6.99 for 12 months to renew afterwards for $9.99 per month. Great gift idea for friends and family that are avid readers.
Into Fitness
**Extra Thick Yoga Mat
This is an exercise mat made to use indoor and outdoor and is extra thick, (nice for the knees) and rolls up and is easy to carry when you are finished.
**DRINCO Stainless Steel Water Bottle
This water bottle is leakproof, vacuum insulated stainless steel that comes in 40 oz. size down to 14 oz. size. Plenty of choice there and will then keep your beverage either hot or cold.
**MAMI WATA Fruit Infuser Water Bottle
Not that crazy about water, give a fruit infuser water bottle a try. This bottle has a separate infuser, is leakproof, BPA free, durable and eco-friendly. Comes is a glam gift box with an insulating sleeve to help your water stay cool. What a great gift this would be!
**Fitbit Inspire 2
This health and fitness tracker is a must for the fitness/health-conscious friend. It tracks your calories burned, steps taken and distance, heart rate and so much more. There is an app that you can download to input and keep track of your food intake so your Fitbit can tell you if you still have calories you can eat or not.
This is a gem of a tracker and I should know because I’ve now had two Fitbits—I’m sold on them and know they would make a great gift.
**Foldable Duffle Bag
This bag is water and tear resistant and because it is also foldable, you can pack it and take it anywhere, including for travel. Can be used for a gym bag or for an overnight travel bag.
