With the holidays right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about holiday gift-giving. Whether you’re searching for your friend, sibling, or partner, knowing what to get them can be a pain—especially if you’re not into beauty and wellness like they are! Luckily, we’re here to help. Here’s our holiday gift guide to help you find the perfect gift for that special someone.
For the one who needs relaxation: Cocoa Epsom Bath Soak
Show that hard-working mom or ambitious friend that they deserve some TLC with a hand-picked care package! Buy a gorgeous candle and pair it with our Cocoa Epsom Bath Soak. Not only is it the ultimate de-stress combo, it’s a simple yet thoughtful gift.
For the sleeping beauty: silk pillowcase
Have a friend who insists she needs her beauty sleep? Gift them a low-friction material pillowcase for luxurious comfort while they catch some Z’s. Dr. Dendy Engelman, MD, FACMS, FAAD, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist told Bustle that silk pillows can “support healthy skin and hair and help slow down the formation of wrinkles while you’re asleep.” To find one for that special someone, here are some of Oprah’s favorites!
For the constantly busy: subscription to Headspace
For the hard-working busy-bee, get them a gift that shows you really care with a subscription to Headspace, a popular mindfulness app filled with guided meditations. While stress balls and other gadgets can be unique gifts, a subscription to an app provides a better chance that that special someone sticks with mindfulness in their life!
For the spiritual one: a sound bath healing set
Taking a sound bath is taking a holistic approach to relaxation; the crystals harness the reverberating sounds and vibrations of crystal bowls to lull you into a peaceful and mindful state of being. When you start shopping, we think that creative soul will appreciate you supporting an Etsy shop this year! As a back-up, opt for rose quartz crystals, which are said to illuminate feelings of peace, friendship, and familial love.
For the skincare lover who has it all: La Bloom, humidifier, or Gua sha set
We’re skincare obsessed, so we know buying the perfect products can be a challenge! That’s why we recommend getting La Bloom products for stellar stocking stuffers she’s sure to fall in love with. Natural, vegan and cruelty-free, she can never have too many things to try.
To pull out all the stops, add a humidifier to gift her a dewier complexion. "Using a humidifier helps counteract the drying air so moisture is less likely to evaporate from your skin,” says celebrity esthetician Renée Rouleau to Refinery29.
Finally, you can consider a Gua sha set. Gua Sha facials boast a slew of benefits including better blood flow and plumper skin. Surprise that person with an intro to Gua Sha Tool they’ll find useful and cool at the same time!
For the traveler: La Bloom Set
Get the jet-setting beauty in your life the perfect on-the-go beauty products. Complete with a Lash & Brow Serum, Nail Oil Pen, and our Bloom Face Mist, it’s the perfect addition to her travel bags. Our Lash & brow serum is formulated to help restore, strengthen, and condition lashes and brows. The Nail Oil Pen nourishes the nails while the Face Mist is the perfect pick-me-up during those dehydrating plane rides.
For the sporty one: yoga mat
For a steal of a price (only $22) and instant classic any sports lover can appreciate, there’s the Gaiam 2-Color Yoga Mat. Coming from a very reputable yoga company, any yogi lover will appreciate it. For something more extravagant for that friend or family member who you know needs something of superior quality, there’s the Alo Warrior Yoga Mat. Pricer indeed, but it provides next-level performance for that serious athlete in your life.
For the one with luscious locks: hair wrap
Have a friend who is obsessed with hair care? She may have all the oils, hair masks, and curling irons, but we’re willing to bet she could add one more thing to her repertoire: Mauves Satin Hair Wraps. Naturally conditions your locks to promote growth, boost thickness, extend shine and reduce frizz. Chic enough to wear anytime of the day, these hair wraps provide a secure layer between your hair and every day environmental stressors including UV rays, dry air, and humidity. Luxurious satin inside and out, it provides a protective layer between your hair and abrasive sheets at night, preventing split ends and eliminating bed head. Wake up with beautiful, healthy looking locks every morning!
