The Ultimate Gift Guide for the Self Care Queen

November 11, 2022

I swear this happens every year. We think we have so much time to get Christmas presents. Then all of a sudden it’s December 22nd and you still have 10 people on your list to buy for. But not this year! I’ve put together the ultimate gift guide for the Self Care Queen this year! These items are great for everyone actually, because let’s be honest, we all could use some time for self care!

The Ultimate Gift Guide for the Self Care Queen

  • Alarm Clock – While I know we all have phones that we can use as alarm clocks, sometimes those can become a distraction. Have you ever found yourself not being able to sleep because you’re scrolling IG Reels for 2 hours? Well having your phone away from your bed and your fun old school alarm clock can help with that! This is a great way to give the gift of finally being able to sleep, who doesn’t want that!?

  • Face Roller – I was first introduced to this in my FabFitFun box and I am so thankful I was! This is a non-negotiable now for my morning routine. It takes about 3 minutes to do and leaves my face feeling rejuvenated and no puffiness. Perfect for the morning after New Years as well… 🙂 Be sure to check out my other blog post on my Recipe for Morning Success which incompasses how to use the Face Roller if you’re curious!

  • Journal & Pens – The perfect gift especially leading into a New Year. I’m pretty sure one can never have too many journals. With all those goals and dreams to achieve they’re going to need a good place to jot down all their thoughts and ideas.

  • Inspirational Coffee Mug – This is such a great thing to use to start your day! Whether you’re filling it up with a hot cup of coffee or tea it will add that extra inspiration you needed in your morning.

  • Personal Development Book – This is a non negotiable to incorporate into a daily routine when you’re trying to achieve your goals and dreams. This book that I’m recommending here is just one of hundreds out there but it was one that I have so many sentences underlined and pages with notes on it that you’re going to want to be sure this one makes it in the basket.

  • Soy Candle – This just sets the tone for the day. It makes you feel relaxed and at peace. A great addition to add to the at home office or to use while doing Yoga at the end of a hard day. Plus who doesn’t love a good smelling home!

  • Bath Set – This is extra perfect during these cold winter months. Some days all you want to do is light a candle, grab a book and a glass of wine and get into a warm bubble bath.

  • Gift Card to the Spa – I think this is something I ask for every year for my birthday and for Christmas. I rarely treat myself to the spa, which I know I should change, so when I receive this gift I am SO happy. Even better yet, buy yourself a spa day to go with your friend or significant other and make a whole day of relaxation and pampering.

  • Bathrobe – There’s something about waking up in the morning and putting on your comfy robe that makes it feel like you’ve stepped into your favorite spa. This Bathrobe is super comfy and sure to make you feel like you’re on cloud 9!

  • Face Mask – We’re not getting any younger people! But these face masks can help our skin feel brighter and younger. Perfect thing to add to your self care day on the weekend. Make a cup of tea, curl up on the couch and let this mask do it’s magic.

  • Yoga Mat – I love my yoga mat so much. It was the first thing I purchased when we moved overseas. I love to do yoga at home and this is the perfect thing to have. Also great for any ab workouts too.

  • Slippers – It goes without saying that during the colder months slippers are a must! I swear if I could I would wear them to the stores and while walking the dog they are just so comfy! Plus I love that these have all the cozy fur but still let your feet breathe. You’re not going to want to skip out on gifting these!

Happy Shopping! Be sure to let me know which items your grabbing to gift this year!
