25 Wellness Gift Ideas to Help You and Your Friends Practice Self-Care

This gorgeous salt lamp is one of Amazon's most popular, and at this price it's a steal. Add it to your home or office for instant mood lighting that you can control with a dimmable switch. I've used mine as a night light for almost a year, and I look forward to the warm, amber light every evening. 

Our editors love this journal by Erin Condren — the fun prompts (like "moments that made me laugh today" and "things I learned today") will get you thinking about what you're grateful for throughout the day. You can fill in the dates yourself (six months' worth!), so you don't have to worry about wasting a section if you skip a day. 

This minimalistic diffuser is recommended by our lab experts to help you relax. Just put a couple drops of your favorite essential oil (peppermint can help you focus while lavender can de-stress) in water to diffuse the scent throughout your room. In addition to a classic matte black finish, this model has an optional light and two different timer settings. 

Making something can be a creative form of self-care, which is one reason why crocheting is so popular. You don't have to be an expert at the craft to get the benefits — just channel your inner artist no matter what the outcome is. This particular set includes everything a beginner needs to make her own snood, but the company also has blanket and tote bag kits. 

Everyone knows chapped lips can turn any normal day into an uncomfortable one. This gift set includes four different shades of Meghan Markle’s favorite lip balm. Each contains a mixture of nourishing oils (like grapeseed and blackcurrant seed oils), and provides a buildable, sheer tint of color. She once told Beauty Banter that this lip balm gives her "soft, kissable, buttery lips."

Flowers have the ability to instantly transform any room, so leave it to Bouqs to send a gorgeous arrangement from you as a gift. Shopping for yourself? The company also offers a subscription service so you never have to be without flowers. You can order your favorite blooms on your schedule — whether that's weekly or monthly. 

Your crystal-obsessed friend obviously needs this reusable bottle to help reach her water intake goals. Whether the crystals actually do anything or not, it's so pretty that she'll want to carry it around everywhere — not to mention all the likes it'll get on Instagram. 

This adorable little pin can be attached to a denim jacket or backpack to serve as a reminder to practice mindfulness, a.k.a. focusing your attention on the present moment. Even though it only measures an inch, its meaning packs a punch. There's even a set that includes the pin with a vinyl sticker — perfect for the college student who covers their laptop in stickers. 

Jade rollers are a hot new beauty tool that your face will thank you for. They act as mini facial massagers, and this one features smooth and textured sides to invigorate your skin. Try using it with oils and serums for an even (and relaxing!) skincare application. 

Splurging on a fancy candle is always a good idea —  especially when it smells of roses and black currant leaves. Diptyque's candles, which are made in France, are known for being extremely luxurious. This 10.2 ounce size will burn for 90 hours, so their home will smell great for a good amount of time. 

Smart watches are popping up everywhere, but the Good Housekeeping Institute pros tested the Fitbit Versa and say it's a solid pick for tracking your health and fitness. Whether you want to keep track of your exercise or sleep, you'll get four days worth of battery life in one charge. Oh, and it's less than half the price of the latest Apple Watch. 

This tiny little box contains all you need for a relaxing spa night at home: bath flowers to make any tub look colorful, an herbal face steam to open up pores, and your choice of a lavender lip balm or calendula-infused face oil (or both!). 

Not only are face masks a great way to chill out, but they're also a treat for your skin. When tested by the Good Housekeeping Institute's experts, this Dr. Jart+ sheet mask calmed complexions and increased hydration by 23%. It's a self-care stocking stuffer that anyone will make good use of. 

Sometimes a relaxing bath is all they need to feel rejuvenated, so a luxurious body care set will do the trick. Our Beauty Lab Director Birnur Aral loves the Rituals of Hammam Body Mud, and this three-piece trial set offers some more of the brand's best-selling products: a body cream, foaming shower gel, and hot scrub. 

Subscription boxes are a favorite for a reason — who doesn't love getting a box of new presents every month?! This one is curated by therapists, so each shipment includes an activity to make you feel happier and 5-7 products (think: aromatherapy, skincare, and other wellness goodies) valued at more than $100. 

Nope, these aren't the funky hair scrunchies that are coming back in style. They're stainless steel rings that you slide up and down your fingers to massage them and relieve tension. Perfect for anyone with tired fingers, like those who type or write all day.
