A Bunch of Self-Care Gift Ideas That'll Bring All the Relaxing Vibes :)

Although our minds may go directly to bubble baths and (v large) glasses of wine when we hear the phrase "self-care," the reality is that it looks a little different for everyone. Sure, self-care might be long soaks in the tub for some—but it could also be going to therapy regularly or cooking an elaborate meal. The whole point of self-care is figuring out what makes you feel good, healthy, and relaxed. So whether you’ve had a hard day at work or are struggling to get through day-to-day tasks, you’re the one who gets to decide how best to take care of yourself. Of course, that doesn’t mean we can’t send some self-care gifts to our loved ones to help ‘em out a bit!

Maybe your BFF is having a rough time at their new job, or your partner hasn’t been feeling their best. Whatever the sitch, a lil self-care gift can brighten someone’s day—and let them know you're really thinking about their well-being. Like I said, though, self-care varies from person to person, some people might love a wellness journal to track their feelings, while others may appreciate a nice candle or cozy slippers. Think about (or ask, if you’re not sure!) what makes your loved ones feel their best, then go from there. And if you want a few can’t-miss picks, I’ve put together the ultimate list of self-care gift ideas. There’s a little something for everyone—including yourself. Happy relaxing!
