Looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for the special someone in your life? Skip the clichéd flowers and chocolates, and go for something more unique – a self-care gift! These gifts are perfect for anyone who loves to relax and pamper themselves, and they come in all shapes and sizes.
In fact, it doesn’t even have to be another person. I fully believe that special someone can simply be yourself this year, and you deserve some self-care gifts. Valentine’s Day is a special day to celebrate love and affection. For many people, it is also a day to celebrate self-love and appreciation. This year, why not celebrate Valentine’s Day by treating yourself to one of these gifts?
Aromatherapy Set
Aromatherapy is a great way to relax and de-stress, and a set of essential oils or steamers is the perfect way to get started. Stressed out? Add a few drops of oil to calm your nerves and help you relax, or drop a steamer block into your next shower. It’s a better way of getting stress relief from the bottle.
Massage Oil
A luxurious massage is a perfect way to relax and rejuvenate tired muscles. Massage oil is a great gift for any occasion, not just Valentine’s Day, and it’s perfect for self-care. You can use it for your own self-care and self-massage, or you can give it as a gift to someone else. It can also double as a bath oil!
A New Outfit
A new outfit is always a great way to feel good about yourself. Sometimes new shoes or a new dress can make your day. Even better? A cozy lounge set that you can feel comfortable enough to go out in.
New Beauty Product
A new beauty product is a great way to treat yourself and experiment with new looks. Of all the self-care gifts, this is one of the most obvious go-tos for many beauty lovers. A great way to pamper and play is with beauty products!
Books
A new book is a great way to relax and escape into a different world. Books are a great way to relax, especially when they’re in your favorite genre. Whether you like science fiction novels or romance stories, there’s always something new and exciting waiting for you!
Your interests are ever-changing, so why not your reading list? There’s a subscription service out there for everything, including audiobook subscriptions!
Audible is known as the oldest and most well-known service. They have 180,000 titles to choose from! You can customize your listening experience by choosing from a variety of voices and accents.
And if you’re looking for something more altruistic? It’s hard to beat a donation in your loved one’s name to the local library. Pick up a card while you’re at it. Listening to audiobooks is a great way to save money and support your local library. You can even find your local library’s audiobook collection at Overdrive.com or Librivox.org. You’ll be able to listen to books for free with your library card!
Wellness Subscription
Consider buying a wellness app for the people you care about (or yourself!). The mindfulness and relaxation apps available on the app store can be the best gifts for anyone because it’s something that everyone can benefit from. Everyone can use a little more relaxation and mindfulness in their lives. And it’s nice to know that people you love enjoy and find value in the presents you give them.
There are a number of meditation apps you can gift a subscription for, but my new favorite holistic package is Open which includes everything from breathwork to Pilates. We know that meditation is great for wellness, but sometimes you need a variety to keep you going.
Whether you’re looking for a gift for your loved one or yourself, I hope this list has given you some ideas of self-care gifts that will make the recipient feel special. If you decide to go with any of these options, I hope you enjoy them! Relax and take some time for yourself – after all, it’s what these gifts are all about.
Pin it for later.
