There’s no denying that we all need to slow down and take care of ourselves. Between a hectic work schedule and trying to keep up with after-school activities and everything else on your calendar – taking time to spoil yourself falls to the bottom of the to-do list.
While there’s nothing quite like a luxurious spa day or a beach getaway, sometimes a self-care evening at home is all you need!
But, slowing down and taking care of ourselves doesn’t have to mean going all out or spending lots of money. Instead, check out these five wellness gifts that will help you spoil yourself on a budget.
Budget-Friendly Wellness Gifts to Spoil Yourself
Get cozy in a plush bathrobe
Nothing beats one of those extra plush bathrobes you get at a hotel. Not only do they feel like a warm hug on a cold evening, they’re the perfect cozy element to a night in. Whether you’re treating yourself to a relaxing afternoon, or keeping warm while you get ready in the morning, a fluffy bathrobe is a great way to give yourself a little extra self-love.
Try journaling
Getting into mindful habits is a great way to slow down and show yourself a little bit of extra love. A popular practice is journaling. Writing all your thoughts and feelings down on paper can help relieve stress and anxiety.
People also use journals in a wide range of other ways, from tracking habits, to setting goals, or even just venting after a bad day. There are plenty of different types of journals out there to match your needs. From blank ones to gratitude and even activity journals, you can customize your journaling to suit you!
Set the mood with a scented candle
While perfume can provide you with aromatherapeutic benefits when you’re on-the-go, scented candles offer the same benefits when you’re relaxing and taking care of yourself at home. Burning scented candles can make your home smell wonderful, and the aroma can provide a calming effect. Cozy up on the couch with your fluffy robe and journal, and light a scented candle to get into self-care mode.
There are plenty of varieties of scented candles that will delight your senses too. From floral and fruity, to food and wood-based scents, there’s something for everyone.
Give your skin extra love with a skin care routine
Let’s be honest – taking the time to do a full skin care routine can feel practically impossible. Whether you want to soak up a few extra minutes of rest in the morning, or need to spring straight into action, sometimes the best we can manage is a moisturizer. Taking the time to spoil yourself with an indulgent skin care routine can feel like a real luxury!
To make the most of the time you do have, look for skin care kits that contain a combination of products, such as a wrinkle cream, exfoliant, and neck cream, or an exfoliant, face wash, and face mask combination. Moisturizers, skin toner, night cream, and foaming cleansers can also be included, depending on the kit you choose.
Add a pop of color with a manicure
We’ve all seen the movies where the main character heads out for a manicure to help themselves feel a little bit better. While we don’t always have the time or money for a day at the spa, manicure sets are a great budget-friendly way to give yourself a mani-pedi from the comfort of your own home. Some sets come with as few as four tools to keep it simple. Others come with as many as 18 for a complete manicure experience. Pick out your favorite color nail polish, or try a new shade.
You can always go the extra mile too, and pick up a foot spa for a truly nourishing experience. Look for ones with different massage and exfoliation settings to ease inflammation and help circulation.
Remember that self-care is all about what makes you feel good. Whether you have a spare 10 minutes, or want to dedicate a free morning to improving your wellness, there’s no reason why you can’t spoil yourself!
