SELF-CARE GIFTS FOR GREAT SLEEP

1. Nodpod Gentle Weighted Sleep Mask

Weighted sleep masks have stress-reducing benefits that are GREAT for quick naps or sleeping on the plane (so perfect for travelers!) Plus, I love how this sleep mask is strap free 🙂

2. Weighted Blanket

Who wouldn’t love the gift of better sleep quality? Weighted blankets are like a nice hug from your best friend and are perfect for anyone seeking a bit of stress relief!

3. Silk Pillowcase

Silk pillowcases are a LUXURY upgrade. Unlike cotton, silk absorbs less moisture which is better for your hair AND skin.

4. Smart Alarm Clock

If you know someone who gets a bad case of the morning grumpies, this clock can gift them a little happiness 😉 This alarm clock wakes you up with LIGHT, which is much gentler and more gradual than the sound of an alarm clock. This will help waking up feel more natural and reduce grogginess.

This eye pillow has SO many great self-care uses! It can be microwaved and used heated to relieve dry eyes or put in the freezer and used chilled for puffy morning eyes. Perfect gift for relieving headaches too! Plus, the lavender smells soo good.

Treat yourself or a loved one to LED light therapy at home! This face wand has 7 different settings that can help reduce and improve skin conditions.

26. Washing Face Wrist Towels

Since every face wash commercial ever has taught us that the correct way to rinse our skin off is to splash an egregious amount of water onto our face, these wrist towels are the perfect gift! All jokes aside, I do really love how these prevent water from running down your arm when washing your face.

27. Expandable Bathtub Tray

Bubble baths are the epitome of self-care nights and this expandable bathtub tray is a genius way to enhance any bath routine! It has enough space to hold all the essentials – bath bombs, a good book, and a glass of wine 😉

Want feet that feel as smooth as butter? This foot mask is AMAZING. I think I’ve purchased this product at least once every year for the past 5 years to help give my feet a reset. My only warning is that this is NOT for the faint of heart – do not underestimate its exfoliating powers.
