Whether you're shopping for your girlfriend, mum, sister or friend, everyone loves to receive the gift of relaxation and self-care — especially in today's day and age, when finding moments to unwind is often easier said than done.
So, if you're looking for a thoughtful present that says, 'Take a break and treat yourself,' you've come to the right place.
Here are our top 11 best wellness gifts to celebrate and spoil her with:
1. A stress-relieving supplement
Whether she struggles to get a good night's sleep or to let go of stress at the end of the day, a soothing supplement like Kin's Ultra Calm is the perfect gift for anyone who needs to press pause and decompress.
Formulated to reduce stress naturally, each tablet contains a holistic blend of 4 natural ingredients: saffron for a positive mood, Rhodiola to help her sleep, ashwagandha root to minimise mild levels of anxiety, and tyrosine to support the production of stress response and hormones.
2. Protein powder and shaker
If she's always at the gym, this one is a no-brainer. But even if she's not, everybody needs protein. And having a good protein powder in the pantry for those days when nutrition just isn't a priority can be really convenient.
Kin's Essential Protein provides 22.4g of bioavailable protein in every serving, as well as a good dose of vitamin C, calcium and probiotics, and it is super tasty from natural vanilla, with no artificial sweeteners, colours or flavours. Designed specifically for pregnancy and postpartum, it's a lovely gift for any mumma-to-be — plus, it comes with a handy shaker.
3. Tea
Who doesn't love a good cup of tea? With so many flavours to choose from, there's something for every taste. And of course, it's a great choice if you're on a budget but still want to buy a nice gift she'll enjoy.
If you're shopping for an expectant mum, we're certain she'll appreciate a blend to help her minimise the dreaded nausea that often comes with pregnancy, like Kin's Morning Sickness Tea.
Containing organic ginger to relieve sickness and vomiting, peppermint to support digestion and relax the stomach muscles, and subtle aromatics like chamomile and lemongrass to ease tension, this yummy tea with settle and soothe her with every sip.
4. A spa voucher
Who doesn't love putting on a fluffy robe and enjoying a good massage or facial treatment? A spa voucher is one of those gifts you just can't go wrong with.
5. At-home spa gifts
If she's more of an 'at-home spa' kind of person, there are plenty of gift ideas that will take her me-time to the next level.
A neck, shoulder and back massager, for example, is perfect if she works in front of a computer all day and it promises to give her instant relief when she's feeling a bit sore. Bath salts are a great idea if she has a bathtub — or shower steamers if she doesn't. Or why go for something as simple as a beautifully scented candle or a nourishing body cream to hydrate and soothe her skin?
4. Electrolytes
Another super convenient thing to have handy (and not just if she likes to party), electrolytes will keep her hydrated even when she doesn't have time (or forgets) to drink the recommended 2+ litres of water per day.
Kin's Electrolyte Powder is vegan, gentle on the stomach, and supercharged with vitamin C for an extra dose of essential nutrients. It's also suitable for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Pair it with a nice water bottle for a lovely gift set (without breaking the bank).
7. Sleep gifts
There's nothing like a good 8 hours of deep, undisturbed sleep to make her feel like her best self, so why not give her the gift of peaceful rest?
A memory foam pillow will help her find the perfect sleeping position (and not wake up with a stiff neck), a weighted blanket will make her nights cosier than ever, and a silk pillowcase will stay cool until the morning, so she can sleep through the night without having to keep turning the pillow.
If she struggles to fall or stay asleep, Kin's Deep Sleep supplement supports muscle relaxation, soothes symptoms of mild stress for a calm and quiet mind, and helps to induce a relaxing night of sleep.
8. A journal
Journalling is a tried-and-test tool for better well-being. It can help process and accept negative emotions, avoid burnout, increase feelings of gratitude, promote self-love and discovery, and the list goes on. It's even said to have physical health benefits, particularly in lowering blood pressure levels [1]!
A wellness journal is a small but thoughtful gift that will help her be more present and find more joy every day — and who doesn't want that?
9. A multivitamin
A good multivitamin is like a nutrition boost to a balanced diet and it makes for the perfect gift if she's always busy taking care of the little one(s) or in back-to-back meetings all day.
It will fill the gaps in her diet to give her the energy she needs to take on the day and make sure she stays healthy — supercharging her whole body from the immune system and brain to the hair, skin, nails, digestive system, and more.
10. New skincare
Finally, why not level up her beauty and skincare routine? Software's skincare collection has something for every skin type and concern (and budget), from pimple patches to facial sunscreen, a retinol face oil, dermatologist-designed acne tablets, and much more.
Facial tools like a gua sha set, ice globe massager or even an LED mask (if the budget allows) are also great gift ideas for a skincare enthusiast.
Shopping for a new mum?
Our 11th gift idea is specifically for new mums who are recovering from childbirth, because who's more deserving of some TLC?
We have 2 bundles featuring everything she may need after delivering her bub: our Postpartum Recovery Bundle to help heal her vagina and our C-Section Recovery Bundle if she went through a caesarean delivery.
The first is a 6-step kit specifically designed to clean, soothe, and help her feel like herself again. It comes with a peri bottle to cleanse her bits, mesh undies for ultimate comfort, soothing padsicles for instant pain relief, a healing foam to keep bacteria at bay, a belly butter to prevent and reduce stretch marks, and a postnatal vitamin to address symptoms of postnatal depletion.
The C-section kit comes packed with 5 essentials to encourage scar healing, support separated abdominal muscles and help with postpartum depletion — the peri bottle, mesh undies, belly butter and postnatal, along with a belly band to support loose tummy muscles.
