39 gifts that'll inspire some serious self care and mindfulness (2024)

When it comes to wellness, there's a lot of woo-woo out there, but Dr Ross J. Barr, acupuncturist to the stars doesn't mess about. His range of wellness patches includes Sleep, Healing and Period patches designed to aid your body to cope with whatever comes your way.

The calm patches are designed to support the relief of headaches, stress, tension, brain fog and neck pain (ie all the daily challenges we all face) and can be worn on pressure points across the body. The perfect gift for the person in your life who needs a moment to breathe.

Who doesn't love a massage? Gifting someone a massage gun means they'll have the ability to melt their muscles any time, day or night. This Therabody option also has the ability to deliver personalised wellness routines – guiding the user through each step on their journey to relaxation.

It's an even better present idea if your loved one is a keen runner, hiker or gym goer.

We are all well acquainted with the healing powers of aromatherapy oils, but if you want more than just a pulse point boost, why not infuse your entire space with a gorgeous, calming aroma?

Aromatherapy Associates’ Atomiser Connect is a waterless and heatless essential oil diffuser with two chambers allowing you to select which of their heavenly scents you’re in need of without any fiddly bottle changes, or even double up and use both to fill a bigger space.

It’s wireless, too, which makes it perfect for moving seamlessly between rooms and there’s an app with a spa-inspired guided breathing meditation which you can follow along as your space fills with calming scents.

We loved how easy this diffuser was to use with its timer settings, which also meant we didn’t leave it running all day and forget about it. You may just be tempted to keep this gift for yourself…

From mastering breathwork to honing your focus and shutting out the outside world, there is truly no better wellness activity than yoga – and what better way to support someone’s asana than by gifting them a gorgeous new mat?

Liforme’s mats are designed in collaboration with teacher Kino MacGregor and feature impressive grip technology to ensure your hands stay put during those infamously slippy three-legged dogs. We loved that this white version brought a certain glam to our morning vinyasa and helped us nail our warrior poses using the gold alignment markers.

Liforme’s mats are also biodegradable and PVC-free too, so it’s a great gift for the eco-conscious yogi in your life.

Is there anything more relaxing than a long, hot bubble bath? We think not! Enter: Lush's Relax More gift set.

From the Dream Cream Body Lotion to the Twilight Bath Bomb, and not forgetting the Sleepy Bubble Bar, Lush's Relax More gift set features everything you need to have a seriously mindful moment. And, relax in 3... 2... 1...

There’s nothing than says wellbeing more than swaddling yourself in gorgeous fabrics and tucking into a good book. White Company’s luxurious cashmere bed socks come in multiple shades and are exquisitely soft, perfect for warming toes during colder months.

An ideal wellness gift for the person who already has everything.

Remember what we said about baths being hella mindful? Yep, we weren't lying.

To up your bath game even further, throw in a handful of these mindful bath salts from Westlab, made with frankincense, bergamot and CBD for an added touch of peace and tranquillity.

Sentia are an exciting alcohol-free brand, whose drinks promise to still give whoever's sipping them a little buzz (akin to being tipsy – minus any hangxiety the next day).

The Sentia hamper is a great choice for your pal who's looking to cut back on their boozing, or someone who's already committed to the sober life.

Meditation isn't always easy, especially when your mind wanders off and you end up mentally planning next week's meals.
