People don’t necessarily take enough time out to treat themselves. Life gets busy, and before long, stress and chaos clutter the mind and make it difficult to carve out that much-needed “me time.” The solution? Treat the overworked and exhausted people in your world to some wonderful relaxation gifts! Here are some suggestions they’re sure to appreciate.
Silk Pillowcases
A silk pillowcase is one of those luxurious indulgences that few people purchase for themselves. The material is advantageous over standard cotton and even satin for many reasons. The smooth fabric alone feels sumptuous and gentle to the touch, contributing to a greater sense of relaxation at bedtime. It’s also hypoallergenic, so those who tend to suffer from allergies are less likely to experience issues. Your recipient may even notice that they have better hair days after sleeping on silk. That’s because it minimizes friction, which can lead to all-too-common concerns like frizz and split ends.
Massage Coupon
Massages are beneficial for many reasons. They help relax tight muscles, soothe the body, relieve minor aches and pains, reduce stress, and bring about a sense of inner calm that is often hard to achieve. They’re also quiet, peaceful, and reflective — and there’s no better way to enjoy some peace and solitude than to enjoy a calming massage. Fortunately, many spas and providers offer coupons that can be redeemed for the recipient’s massage service of choice. Since people have different needs, that’s a great way to ensure they can book something that will help them the most.
Flower Bouquet
There’s nothing like a colorful flower arrangement to brighten someone’s day. The beauty of giving bright, fresh blooms is that you can trust they’ll be well received. Although you can certainly just choose a bouquet that looks attractive, it’s even more thoughtful to consider the blossoms in the composition and what each of them means. Roses, of course, are emblematic of romance and passion, while daisies and sunflowers are uplifting and associated with happiness, purity, and joy. And if they happen to have a favorite flower, make it a point to include that in the mix too.
Face Masks
In a day and age where self-care is so important, it makes sense to encourage that if your recipient is particularly stressed out. Adding a set of high-quality face masks to a relaxation gift basket is a great way to lift their spirits. There are many options out there. If you aren’t sure of the recipient’s skin type or what to purchase, consider grabbing a sampler kit with several different formulas included, like the Formula 10.0.6 Divide and Conquer Multi-Masking Sampler Kit. Tucked inside the box are six of the beauty brand’s best-selling formulas.
Custom Bathrobe
There’s nothing like a plush, cozy bathrobe to make someone’s day better. They’re perfect for wearing after a bath or shower, of course, but they’re also ideal for those laid-back lounge days when relaxation is all that matters. Make it even more special by choosing a bathrobe customized with their name in a color they love.
Relaxation Matters
Think of your gift as an instant reset button for your loved one. They may not have time to treat themselves — but with a little help, you can introduce them to the wonderful world of rest and relaxation.
