My favourite feel-good gifts for 2020
2020 has been quite the year – I think we all deserve some pampering! Here is a roundup of some of my favourite feel-good gifts for your loved ones (or treats for you!):
These high-quality silk pillowcases are anti-static and fantastic for staving off bedhead – I can attest to that! They’re not cheap, but it’s worth the investment to wake up with great hair. They also claim to prevent wrinkles by protecting your skin from creasing overnight. I can’t confirm that just yet, but it’ll be a bonus if they do!
Every walk, gym visit – pretty much whenever I leave my house – my water bottle comes with me. These nifty bottles keep your cold drinks cold for 24 hours (!), or hot drinks hot for up to 12. They come in a wide range of beautiful colours and prints – mine’s a yellow one.
These luxurious eye masks come in a range of sumptuous colours and turn the simple act of going to bed into a real treat. Handcrafted in pure silk, the natural fibres feel beautiful against your skin and block out the light so you can get a great night’s sleep. What’s not to love?
I love the soothing effects of essential oils and Dotty’s don’t disappoint. I particularly love her Wild Orange scent – it’s so uplifting and gives me a real boost.
The Ordinary Facial Moisturiser
Luxury doesn’t always have to be expensive. I am a huge fan of The Ordinary and I’m not the only one – they’re highly praised in the media for offering fantastic, effective products, at extremely reasonable prices. I particularly love this facial moisturiser.
These blankets have soared in popularity lately and I can really see why. Mine brings me a real sense of calm and is wonderful for snuggling under on the sofa.
Crafts
Crafting is great for relaxation and calming a busy mind. My personal favourite is oil painting, but there are numerous great craft ideas for adults. I love this jumper – the end product is the epitome of warm and cosy! For the cheese lovers amongst us, this cheese-making kit is a really nifty gift idea. And for those recipients who enjoy a tipple, this beermaking kit is a great alternative to a bottle of booze.
To Do Today and To Do Soon Tiles
I have these tiles on the wall above my desk in my office. They give me a stylish and simple way to keep myself on track with what I have going on.
Happy shopping!
