Wellness and self-care are so important and yet we often find we put ourselves last. Moms, especially, put themselves last and absolutely must be celebrated and bathed in luxury! This is likely true for your friends as well, so here are some fabulous gift ideas to help promote wellness and self-care with your friends.
You can use these ideas in making a self-care gift box or a mental health gift basket for a friend. These can certainly be great ideas in a self-care kit for moms.

Meditation Audio
If your friend is into meditation, give her meditation audio to guide into a relaxed state. Why is self-care important? Because if we don’t take care of our minds and our bodies, how are we expected to take care of anyone else?

Gifts promoting Wellness
Eye Massager
Gift the Bob and Brad EyeOasis 2 Massager to bring relief to strained, tired eyes – faster & quieter.
The EyeOasis 2 eye massager features a row of soft cushions over each eye, which gently inflate in series to provide a rolling massaging sensation. The compression is to relieve dry and tired eyes (whether it’s from staring at a screen for too long), promote circulation, and encourage relaxation.
This gift is a fab idea to help a busy working mom relax after a long day of working and parenting!

CalmiGo Device for Mindful Breathing
CalmiGo is a natural, portable, drug-free solution that can be used in moments of upset, anxiousness, and stress. It is an effective and unique solution that can be used both for immediate relief in moments of distress and for long-term effectiveness. The device is scientifically proven and uses 3 methods: breathing regulation, relaxing scent, and multi-sensory stimulation.

Truvaga
Truvaga is a hand-held product that stimulates the vagus nerve. Stimulating the vagus nerve helps to: reduce stress, increase focus, and improve mood and sleep. Sessions are 2 minutes long, and we recommend once in the morning and once before bed. Truvaga comes programmed with 350 sessions, which if used twice daily will last approximately 6 months.

Cubii under desk trainer
Here’s one that I think is brilliant – Cubii is a compact elliptical trainer that fits under your desk allowing you to exercise while working.
Cubii turns long periods of sitting into periods of movement called active sitting. Compared to stationary sitting, Cubii increases energy expenditure by 84.5% (a result documented by the Mayo Clinic). Cubii is quiet, allowing you to discretely burn calories while working away in cube land. 
GenoPalate Nutrition
Here’s an idea, the gift of good nutrition. Check out GenoPalate DNA Analysis for a personalized nutrition journey. Take the guesswork out of your eating by knowing exactly which nutrients and foods your body needs. Use the link below to get $10 off your order!

Gifts to Pamper
Beessential Soap
Some natural soaps made from bee’s honey and other natural ingredients make washing hands a pleasant and nourishing experience.
Eight Sleep Tracker
A smart tracker for your mattress (or even a smart mattress, depending on your budget) can help identify sleep troubles and give you a better night’s sleep. This is a great gift for *cough* your spouse. So you both get to enjoy a comfortable sleep.
Numi Tea
A reminder to sit down to a warm cup of tea (with tea included, of course) makes a wonderful gift! Tea if a great way to sit down and reflect, enjoy a sweet aroma, and relax.

Sassy Mug
Throw in a cute sassy mug and you’ve got a great gift there.
