While a face mask won’t cure anxiety, there is something to be said for thoughtful, intentional gifts that can lift your giftee’s mood or help them create a sanctuary and prioritize self-care. It’s with this in mind that we’ve curated a list of gifts with feel-good intent at the core — think a handmade scalp gua sha brush that melts away tension, super-soft sweater pants that feel like a hug from your favorite person, and a cozy candle that mimics the same sigh of relief as when you ditch your bra at the end of a long day.
Wellness takes many different shapes and forms, but it doesn’t always have to be serious. Maybe your giftees would prefer getting lost in a puzzle, sweating it out in a workout class, or enjoying the great outdoors. Whatever soothes their mind and body, we hope you find it in this assortment. Ahead, we’ve corralled 20 thoughtful gift ideas at every price point, perfect for showing that special someone just how much you care about their care.

There’s a reason that spa days are a common R&R gift of choice — pampering one’s body can have a positive impact on overall sense of well-being. This L’Occitane set comes with everything your giftee needs to get gleaming from head to toe: A softly scented shower oil, moisturizing body oil, buttery salves for hands and feet, and an all-over body cream for anywhere else craving a little (or a lot of) hydration.

Remember those destressing head massagers that look like a tiny, round metal broom? Snow Fox’s innovative gua sha brush is much more inviting. The tool doubles as a scalp massager, but does more than just feel good while in use: The benefits of regular use include stimulating blood flow, tension relief in the temples and other points, and encouraging hair growth. Plus, the body of the brush is uniquely shaped to be used as a massage tool to deliver both targeted pressure (at the pointed end) and overall muscle relief (with the ridged top end) anywhere that needs it.
