How to Create a Self-Care Gift Basket

All of these gifts are fabulous on their own, but even better would be to create a basket of several self-care favorites - I promise it will be a gift that she loves and uses for a long time! Creating a self-care gift basket is a wonderful way to show someone you care and encourage them to take time for themselves. Start by choosing a theme for the basket, like relaxation, pampering, or mindfulness. Next, gather items that align with the theme, such as scented candles, bath bombs, a cozy robe, a journal, herbal teas, and a self-help book. Don't forget to include personalized touches, like their favorite chocolate or a handwritten note. Arrange the items in a beautiful basket and wrap it with a ribbon. The key is to choose items that cater to their specific interests and needs, ensuring that the self-care gift basket becomes a thoughtful and cherished gift.

Self-Care Gift Ideas for Women

No matter who you are shopping for, you can’t go wrong with any form of self-care gift! I’m sharing some of my favorite self-care items that I personally own or ones that would be on my own list!

Pajamas

One of my favorite gifts that I got last year for Christmas was a set of pajamas - the Nordstrom Moonlight V-Neck Pajamas, to be exact. I love these pajamas so much.

Slippers

How many slippers is too many slippers?? I have several pairs that I happen to wear quite often throughout the week. Right now my favorite slippers are this pair of mocassins from LL Bean that have a hard sole, which makes them great for stepping out the back door when I let the dog out to pee or grabbing any packages off the front porch.

Massage & Muscle Relief

This is by far my favorite form of self-care! I would always recommend getting gift cards for a local massage. But even if you don’t want to spend the money to go somewhere for a massage, there are other great cost-effective ways to enjoy some self-care and muscle relief.

Fluffy Bath Robe

There is nothing more comforting than wrapping yourself up in a giant fluffy robe after a shower or relaxing bath! I have a giant white fluffy robe that I picked up from Target one year and for our anniversary this year my husband bought me another one in gray - it’s like being at a spa without having to leave home.

Bath Time

Along with fluffy robes, I’m all about those bath time accessories for my at-home self-care moments! Bath bombs, bath salts, bubble bath… so many ways to make a long soak in the tub more enjoyable.

Nails

I’ve shared before about these imPRESS nails that are SO great for my mom lifestyle (but honestly, are so easy and fun to use, no matter who you are) - but I also love a good nail polish, too.

Skincare

I’ll be honest - this is not an area that I usually indulge, even for self-care times. I don’t do much along the lines of face masks, scrubs, or skin routines… but I know how many people enjoy them, so I can’t ignore this category in this post! I’ve added a few that others have recommended, as well as a few items that I would be super curious to try out. I do love lip scrubs and sugar scrubs for an occasional rejuvenation, especially in the middle of winter when everything is so dry!

Fluffy Blankets

Give me a fluffy or fuzzy blanket, a new mug with a hot drink and a book or movie night and I am in my happy zone! My husband, family and friends can never go wrong with gifting me a new blanket. 😂

Warm Drinks

I really need to clear out my cabinets of old mugs that I don’t use so that I can introduce some of these beauties soon. I think a sweet mug with a gift card or some warm drinks can be a simple way to show someone that you care about them and their well-being or that you love them.

Journals & Books

Did you know that self-care journals were a thing?? I’ve listed a few journals, books, and Bibles in this list because I think having a good book and some time to yourself is one of the greatest forms of self-care there is.

Candles

More candles, please! I love adding a candle in with a gift set for someone and have always appreciated receiving a new candle as a gift from someone!

Gift Cards

Whether it’s something that you throw inside of a card for someone or include it in a gift set, even the smallest of gift cards can be a sweet way to allow someone to care about their own needs this holiday season! I’ve included several options for gift cards that go along with this self-care theme.
