Wow! Life can be tough, can’t it? What with us all trying to maintain a semblance of normality during the many lockdowns, only to be told that we have over a month left until things even begin getting back to usual, and having to do everything we had to do in our normal lives. It’s one heck of a balancing act.
Of course, such an unprecedented event means that many of us have been having a hard time with things, and the odd pick-me-up has been less about treating oneself, and more about surviving during this trying period. The good news is there are some truly wonderful wellness gifts out there right now. Gifts that may not entirely cure the cabin fever we feel, but will help provide us with that mental, physical, and emotional boost we are so desperately in need of right now. Read on to find out more…
Craft kits
What better way to give yourself a little pick-me-up than to invest in an engaging activity that uses the mind and the brain? Indeed, keeping busy in a fun and productive way can be a real life-saver in these lockdown times.
The critical thing here is to opt for a kit rather than investing in all the materials you may potentially need for a long-term hobby. This is because a kit will not only be cheaper but also allows you to judge whether you enjoy the craft you are doing before putting too much pressure on yourself to do it all the time.
Feel free to experiment and explore too. Perhaps trying short yarn-based craft kits like crocheting a hat, or knitting a scarf at first. While later on moving to clay-based activities such as making polymer clay keyrings or air dry clay décor boxes.
Crystal jewellery
Another fabulous option for a treat that can boost your mood is a piece of jewellery that you can wear every day that is imbued with healing energy. Yes, of course, what I am talking about here is jewellery made with crystals which can be incredibly delicate and beautiful as well.
In particular, you like to opt for a piece with an amethyst crystal included. The reason being that the amethyst meaning is one of emotional calm and balance. This being something we could all do with more of at the moment, right?
Beauty and self-care subscription boxes
One of the best things about choosing a subscription box as your pick-me-up is that it is not a one-and-done situation. Indeed, depending on the frequency of your subscription you can expect treats via the post every month. Something that means not only fun and surprise when they arrive, but also plenty of delicious expectations and looking forward to what this month’s box will bring!
Of course, choosing the right box is essential if it is to do you maximum good and boost your wellbeing. Happily, there is no shortage of options to choose from. Indeed you can get anything from monthly self-care products like skincare and candles to fancy gins and snacks. All you need to do is decide which one will serve you best right now!
