If you’re having a hard time coming up with gift ideas for that one super-stressed out person on your list (you know who), then you’ve come to the right place. Believe me, StyleCaster knows stress (have you seen our coverage of Kylie Jenner and Drake possibly dating??? WILD). So, yeah, I’d say we have a pretty firm grasp on how to handle stress and, subsequently, what self-care gifts would be best for that one particular tense person on your list (me, I am one particular tense person on your list).
I mean, let’s be real. Aside from any personal or political adversities plaguing our livelihoods, 2019 has been a year—what with the rise of TikTok, Instagram nixing the following activity tab, the real life Orphan, three Mercury retrogrades, and that whole Miley Cyrus/Liam Hemsworth/Kaitlynn Carter/Cody Simpson mess that I don’t even want to get into right now. Man, 2019 has seen it all.
And on top of that, Vine is still dead!!!!! No wonder we’re all stressed.
So, kudos to you for wanting to gift something that will alleviate some of that pressure. And sure, you could gift them a trip to the spa or a nice massage, but if you’re looking for something that your giftee could use time and time again, then we’ve got you covered (no offense, spas and massage places).
From aromatherapy tools to oracle decks to enlightening books about mindfulness, scroll through for our picks of top-shelf self-care gifts you can give to that special someone—or just yourself.
