3 Self-Care Gift Ideas for Your Best Friend

Everyone agrees that self-care is important, but not everyone practices self-care. Whether it’s because of busy schedules or not wanting to spend on ourselves, we often skimp out on self-care practices.

The good news is, you can always direct someone you love toward self-care through a thoughtful gift. Here are a few ideas for a self-care gift for your best friend.

A Journal

Journaling is a great way to express ourselves. It allows us to write down thoughts we’re unable to say out loud or are afraid to share with someone else, be it our ambitions, fears, insecurities, or happiness. Writing down what we’re thinking and feeling is a form of catharsis, and is considered to be a self-care tactic.

Gifting your friend a journal is a great way to help them be more attuned to their thoughts and feelings. It helps them identify and express truths, even if they’re trivial details. Journaling will also boost their mental well being and encourage them to be more open and honest with themselves.

You can get them a guided journal with prompts to help them get started, or a blank leather-bound journal that offers a more freestyle approach.

Winter Care Bundle

Why not spread some winter warmth and get them something more suitable for the season? The best part about a winter care bundle is that you can include a range of items in it depending on your budget. For instance, fluffy slippers and funky, fuzzy socks are a great pair for a winter package. Similarly, you can get them a customized patchwork blanket that not only keeps them warm but also reminds them of you every time they use it.

A winter care bundle isn’t limited to include linen and footwear. A generous supply of hot chocolate mix, marshmallows, roasted peanuts, and their favorite brand of coffee are also great self-care gifts. Your friend will definitely enjoy these snacks a lot more knowing they came from you!

A Spa Experience

A day of pampering yourself at the spa screams self-care. Treat your friend to a day of relaxation by booking an appointment at our spa in Palm Desert. We offer a range of spa treatments at Skin Bar – The Experience that will help your friend unwind and enjoy a day of self-care activities.

For example, you can sign them up for a hot stone therapy session and an LED facial massage.  Add to this a waxing appointment and they’re in for a treat! A day at the spa is the perfect way to relieve stress and emerge feeling rejuvenated and relaxed.

If your friend would rather enjoy the spa experience at home, then we also offer a Skincare Gift Box that would make a practical self-care gift. This includes a sugar lemon scrub, a gentle face wash, an eye treatment, a vitamin A serum, a ginseng rejuvenative toner, and a scented candle.
