For the Over-Thinker

Including meditation and neuro-linguistic programming techniques, these cards help you build better coping mechanisms for stressful situations. (You may even need a deck for yourself!)

For the Beauty Guru

Do you have someone in your life that seems to keep up with all of the latest beauty trends? Maybe they’ve even started their own blog or social media page to inform others. Our beauty lovers may forget the healing and glowing-skin-inducing qualities of self-care—which is why they need a friend like you to help them remember.

1. Glam Up Facial Sheet Mask set

This comes with 12 unique, healing sheet masks that help brighten and moisturize the face. With options like avocado, tea tree, green tea, and peppermint, these masks are truly luxurious—yet reasonably priced. Simply unwrap, place the mask on your face, and prepare for a relaxing spa day at home.

2. Burt’s Bees Tips & Toes Gift Set

Sometimes we focus so much of our beauty technique on your face, we end up neglecting other parts of our body that deserve just as much healing and attention. This is the perfect remedy for those hard-working, often abused hands and feet. This gift set comes with two types of hand cream, foot cream, cuticle cream, hand salve, and even lip balm.

3. Rose Quartz Roller

This chilly treat is a must-have in any beauty lovers’ skincare routine. it reduces swelling, under-eye bags, and it wakes up your skin on sleepy mornings. Also, it’s exquisite to look at and a fun gift that they might never buy themselves. If you think that they’re more of a jade, they also have a ton of those that have different properties for your skin.

For the Sleepy Angel

1. Goddess Sleep Mask

I don’t know about you, but I love my sleep—and I cannot sleep without a silky eye mask protecting me from the static of the outside world.

For the Tough One

1. MaxKare Neck Massager

We all know a hard-working gentleman or two, and they may not immediately light up at the thought of a scented candle. We have suggestions for our burly men too, like this MaxKare Neck Massager. This massager is designed to target those neck and shoulder muscles that get so achy from physically demanding work. It can also be used on the back, making it versatile as well as useful.

2. The Man Can

While luxury grooming products may have historically been aimed at women, our men deserve the best: The Man Can is just that.

This gift is fun, efficient, and perfectly suited for your masculine friends and family members.
