Christmas wellbeing gifts

The festive season can be stressful, so what’s a better gift than something that helps you stay in the spirit? This Christmas, give your loved ones a gift that says “take care of yourself”. Especially if they are the practical type, they’ll love the functionality of these items – it will also keep them de-stressed and healthy through the winter chill. Here are some great gifts to promote wellbeing.

Beauty

The best thing about giving these skin care sets is that your loved one gets to test run a product without the unknowing splurge of purchasing their own new moisturiser or serum. If they like the way it feels on their skin, they will feel confident buying it in the future. Plus we all have that friend who spends way too much at Sephora, let’s give them something they’ll love.

Aromatics

Sometimes all you need is a good candle or essential oils to transform a place of chaos to one of total zen. Give your loved one this option with something that smells as great as they want to feel. Generally lavender and eucalyptus mint are hard scents to not feel stressed around. But this season, subtle hints of cinnamon, vanilla, or even cedar are perfectly appropriate. Here are some great options for aromatic gifts.

Having a book of juice recipes or an armband to hold their phone could be just the thing to jump start their New Year’s resolution to be healthier.
