Self-Care Gifts For Christmas

1. A Candle

I love a good candle! They make the room so much cozier and relaxing. While candles might be a cliche present, they appear in the self-care gift section of stores every year because they just keep selling.

Check out this marble tea light holder and tea lights.

2. Essential Oil Diffuser

Essential oils are renowned for their ability to melt away stress and ease worry. To be completely blunt, I think a lot of diffusers are ugly- but not this one! I have one of these diffusers and it’s so elegant. The lava stones aborb the oil – and the obsidian is a nice touch.

Don’t forget fragrances like peppermint & euchalyptis, grapefruit, bergamot & ylang ylang & rosemary.

3. Lava Stone Diffuser Bracelet

For self-care on the go, then your loved ones might prefer a diffuser bracelet instead. This gorgeous handmade tiger’s eye and lava bracelet is a perfect gift, because all you need to do is dab a little essential oil onto the lava which acts as a sponge. It also comes in green.

4. Gold Lava Diffuser Necklace

For a more luxury self-care gift idea, then you might prefer this 14k gold leaf lava diffuser necklace. Simply add some essential oil to the lava rock for some relaxing aromatherapy on the go. It includes a 2ml bottle of pure essential oil and an application wand.

7. Celebrate Your Wins Notebook

I’ve found that since we haven’t been going out to celebrate things, a lot of accomplishments feel like they didn’t happen. If your loved one struggles to recognize their accomplishments, a celebrate your wins journal is a great way for them to remind themselves of how great they are!

Pick it up here.

8. A Good Book

There’s nothing like sitting down with a good book and a cup of tea.

For something short and easy to read, you might enjoy my poetry book; From The Brighter Side of 25. It’s a small collection of 33 poems documenting early years of adulthood.

If you don’t like poetry, check out these Disney books, mental health books & vampire books.

9. A Journal

Journaling is a great way to reflect after a long day which makes it an ideal wellness gift idea for Christmas. As a writer, I love having a notebook to document ideas in. I have too many notebooks but they bring me joy; whether they’re to document story ideas, reading logs, movies I want to watch or to keep track of my bucket list – I can’t part with any of them.

Check out this “Just Write” journal.

10. A Hot Chocolate “Bomb”
