Need to Relax? Stuff Your Stockings with Self-Care Goodies

When it comes to choosing smaller gifts that will grace the bottom of your tree or mantel this year, remind your loved ones to take a moment for themselves with these self-care gifts that also make for perfect stocking stuffers. The holidays tend to be a whirlwind for everyone; the season goes from Halloween to Thanksgiving then we’re all in a winter wonderland until the New Year. Gifts that prioritize personal wellness are exactly the kind of pick-me-ups people need around this time.

What is more exciting than a stocking filled with a trio of room sprays that will help ease the mind and create a sense of calm in any space? Or you can opt for a set of Brooklinen candles that is themed to the time of day, made by the internet’s favorite bedding company. The set comes with four candles, titled Wake, Magic Hour, Dusk, and Nightcap.

For the CBD lovers in your life, swap traditional candies with sea salt-topped caramels that are made with 15 mg. of CBD each. Self-care has been trending more in the past couple of years due to everyone needing a serious chill pill and moment for themselves. From weighted eye-masks and DIY incense kits to journals that make you take five minutes for yourself a day, each gift will make the perfect adornment to a Christmas stocking for friends and family.
