Self Care Gift Guide

Everyone needs a little self care.  No one ever said “I took time for myself today and I regret it.”  Ok maybe someone did but it wasn’t me!  Here are my top 15 self care gifts from Amazon.

1. Eyelash Curler

Everyone needs one! It elevates your mascara game and just pops your eyes that much more!

2. Scalp Massager

This was a game changer for me.  It’s meant to be used in the shower so you can scrub your shampoo thoroughly.

3. Face Scrubby

This is great item for a great deal!  Add this to your skin care routine to really scrub your face wash in and get a gentle exfoliation going.  

4. Gel Nail Home Set

Ever wanted a salon quality manicure for a fraction of the price at home?  I know several people who use these and the results last week just like going to a salon.  Try it out for your next mani or pedi.

5. Gratitude Journal

I love the idea of writing down what you’re grateful for.  It’s a peaceful way to reflect on your day and really gives insight to what’s important in your life.  Here’s a journal that gives prompts to help you open up.

6. Cuticle Trimmers

I didn’t understand the importance of cuticle trimmers for most of my life.  I was introduce to them and will never turn back!  Cuticle trimmers are just that staple item every adult should have in their home. 

They have so many more uses than just their namesake.  Wow, I never thought I’d get so excited about glorified nail clippers but #thisis30.

7. Blue Light Blocking Glasses

Another incredible item anyone who looks a screen should have.  These aren’t even a luxury item, they’re just a necessity!  I absolutely notice a difference in the strain my eyeballs take using my phone or computer.  I’m wearing them right now!

8. Aztec Clay Mask

I’m not sure how many people use spa face masks anymore but I’m all for them!  The Aztec clay mask would make a great gift in a self care gift basket.  (All of these things would obviously!)

This mask is a powder that you mix with apple cider vinegar that bubbles up and you apply.  It tightens on your face and leaves your skin refreshed and silky smooth!

9. Hair Ties

I recently updated my basic hair ties.  I forgot that as an adult I am allowed to go and buy more hair ties when I have been running on my last 2 that I’ve had for almost 8 years!  Some call these necessary needs, some call them luxury items.  It’s fine.

So when I UPGRADED my hair tie game I was incredibly impressed.  I really recommend these ones.  They’re super stretchy but hold a lot of my thick hair!

10. Microfiber Hair Towel

Anyone have one of these towel wraps?  I use mine frequently.  It’s less bulky than wearing a standard towel around the house and the microfiber makes your hair less frizzy as it’s drying.

11. Guasha

Have you heard of this thing?  It’s similar to a jade roller.  You smooth it over your face up and away.  I feel like that’s a terrible description but it seems accurate!  Google videos of it and you’ll see how to properly use it.  I’d love one just to help my wrinkly sagging face.

12. Foot File

There are many different types of foot scrubbing devices on the market.  I’ve heard of the pedegg or other cheese grater looking things!  I so happen to have this one and it works just fine.  There’s nothing like scraping dead skin off your feet and having perfectly smooth heels!

13. Face Wash Headbands

I have seen so many people use these and swear by them!  They’re perfect for holding your hair back while you wash your face or do your makeup.  Plus they just look super cute with the big bow on top.  Grab this 12 pack and split it with a friend!

14. Oil Diffuser

This is my favorite essential oil diffuser.  I’ve learned a lot about essential oils in the last year (I’m not a spokesperson, I only have a handful) and I have noticed a change in my life. 

I’ve found that its the harsh smell in candles or chemicals that give me headaches and there are so many uses for essential oils that actually work!  I feel safe diffusing oils in my home and the mist coming out along with beautiful smells make me so happy.

15. Oversized Fleece Blanket

This might be my favorite item on the list.  There is something about a gigantic fuzzy blanket that makes me so happy.  I will wrap myself up in the summer or winter and watch endless hours of Friends as I waste the day away!

You don’t have to get spa/self care/comfort items just for someone else, go ahead and grab something for yourself!  Hence the SELF CARE!  But you could grab a few items off this list and it would make the perfect gift basket for anyone.

Use it as a Mother’s Day gift, a birthday, Valentine’s Day present, or just because you like your friends day.  I’m adding those headbands and the guasha to cart immediately.
