8 Best Self-Care Gifts for Women

 

Women do so many things, wear so many hats, and have so many responsibilities, that it’s no wonder some of the best gifts you can give a woman is self-care!

There’s nothing like the reminder that 1) you need to take some time for yourself, and 2) it’s okay to take time for yourself.  Let me tell you, Mom guilt is so real!

As a new Mom (my baby is 18 months now), it’s been so hard for me to take time for myself, and indulge in some of my favorite Simple Joys.  My Simple Joys are things like drinking coffee from my favorite coffee mug, lighting my favorite candle or having a piece of chocolate!

Here are a few things any woman would LOVE to receive as a gift from loved ones.

1. DELICIOUS SMELLING BODY SCRUB

As a Licensed Esthetician (Skin Care Therapist), I LOVE a good body scrub.  And I also LOVE when they smell absolutely amazing!  Exfoliation is so important, especially on the body.  This Brown Sugar Body Scrub by Brooklyn Botany is sure to make her happy!  It’s perfect for dry skin and getting rid of that old scaly layer of dull skin.  I’ve used so many different scrubs over the years, but this is one I can’t wait to try!

2. A WARM, SOFT BLANKET

Who loves to cuddle up in a soft, warm blanket any time of the day or night?  This girl!  I have quite a few fuzzy blankets I keep around the house and on my couch.

There are so many to choose from, but these two cute blankets take the cake!  Both look super warm and cozy, and the RHF Sherpa blanket has some really great inspirational words on it, sooo cute!!!

3. COZY SLIPPERS

I just love pulling off heels after a long day and pushing my aching feet into a warm, soft, cushy pair of slippers.  These Bearpaw Women’s Slippers look so cozy and warm!  They come in sooo many colors, and I was super glad to see they even accommodate my size eleven foot!

Anytime I see the word “memory foam” I’m immediately intrigued, so these Womens Memory Foam Plush Slippers have me mesmerized.

4. CUTE COFFEE MUG

I’m truly a coffee mug girl, I just love pretty coffee mugs!  This one is absolutely ADORBS!!  It comes with a lid to keep my beverage warm, and it’s own cute little long spoon to stir it with!

5. PERSONALIZED, HANDMADE, SOY SCENTED CANDLE

I try to get soy candles as much as I possibly can.  Soy candles are non-toxic and better for the environment in that they burn clean without emitting dangerous fumes into the ozone like wax candles do.

Not only are these candles by Silver Dollar Candle Co. soy, but they come in so many amazing scents you can choose from, AND you can personalize with your own message and font!  How cool is that??  They are hand poured, hand designed to your specification, hand labeled and packaged.

6. A CHOCOLATY TREAT

Yep, chocolate.  Dark chocolate to be exact.  Why dark?  It contains wonderful antioxidants my friend.  It’s what I remind myself every time I have one too many, it’s healthy right?  And besides, what girl doesn’t love chocolate?  Dove is my personal fave because it’s a sweet dark chocolate, not too far into the bitter side.

7. MAGICAL BATH BOMBS

Something about Bath Bombs is always just a little magical.  This Bath Bomb Gift Set from LifeAround2Angels is beautiful.  The bombs have ingredients that aren’t harmful to your skin, and fiz out in pretty colors.  They are wonderfully scented and you get a nice amount of them in the set!  Move over LUSH because these are giving them a run for their money for sure!

8. PRETTY WINE TUMBLER

I’m not particularly a wine drinker, though I do have some on occasion.  But I know plenty of ladies do enjoy a good glass of red wine on a regular basis, which if you didn’t know is full of antioxidants.

So a good glass of red wine can be not only relaxing, but healthy!  All in moderation of course.  Here’s a super cute Wine Tumbler Cup you can give her, and it comes in some really pretty colors!

I hope I helped your gift picking decisions by narrowing down some things I know I would love as a new wife and Mom.  Let me know what the lady in your life thinks about her gifts!
