A wellness gift is a thoughtful way to show your loved one that you care. They come in many forms from the traditional gift-wrapped products to experiences, and can be an individual gift or bought as a combined box of healthy delights. I have put together my 10 best wellbeing gift ideas to get you started.
10 Best Wellbeing Gift Ideas
Complementary therapy/reflexology voucher – I couldn’t do a wellness gift guide without mentioning reflexology! An opportunity to allow the body and mind to relax completely. Reflexology promotes natural healing, improves sleep, low mood and relieves stress and anxiety. Click for more information about the gift vouchers I offer. Choose a complementary therapy that your recipient would like – reiki, aromatherapy massage, Indian head massage…. Whatever your choice, most therapists offer vouchers.
Spa day – Another perfect way to relax and unwind. Many spas are located within luxury hotels so could be included in a mini-break.
Mindfulness app subscription – There are many amazing apps to choose from offering guided meditations and mindfulness tools to help sleep and stress. Great self-help guides on your phone whenever you need it.
House plants – support a healthy home and are proven to reduce stress levels, improve mood and reduce blood pressure. They improve air quality and have the benefit of also looking good!
Bath products – If your loved one enjoys a long soak at the end of the day, then some gorgeous bath salts or oils could be the perfect gift.
Nature – Getting outside into green spaces and breathing fresh air is vital for wellbeing. Gifts that encourage interaction with nature may be a membership of the Wildlife Trust or National Trust, walking route books and maps, binoculars, outdoor gear… the list is endless.
Gardening gifts – Also on the outdoor theme. Anyone with a garden knows the that the process of nurturing plants and watching them grow improves your mood. Gardens keep you fit, connect you directly to wildlife, and they are a delight for the senses.
Fitness gifts – We all know that keeping fit is good for our wellbeing. Why not buy a voucher for classes such as yoga, pilates or even dance. Give a gym membership, exercise or cycling equipment. Plenty of scope to tailor to individual likes here.
Affirmation cards – are used to ease stress, boost self-confidence and self-esteem. They can uplift and support, harnessing the power of positive thinking.
Candles – make a lovely, calming gift. Scented with essential oils such as lavender, are also wonderful for promoting wellbeing.
I hope you find the perfect gift amongst these ideas and I wish you a healthy and peaceful festive season.
