The holidays are arguably one of the most stressful times of the year. Between all the family festivities (including your uncle’s sexist backhanded comments), the pressure to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list (without maxing out your credit card), and tying a bow on your 2025 work deliverables, it’s normal that your nervous system is… unwell. That’s why we compiled a list of self-care gifts for you—and the stressed-out mom or overworked bestie in your life, too. You all deserve to put yourself first for once. This is the perfect place to start…
The Smart Clock That Helps You Snooze
We all know that one person who uses their phone to wake them up and still manages to sleep through five different alarms blaring next to their ear. That’s why we’ll be gifting everyone we know with the Loftie Clock, designed to keep phones out of the bedroom (praise be). Wake up fresh and rested thanks to its two-phase alarm (with a choice of 3, 6, or 9-minute snooze) and relax and wind down at night with its soothing soundscapes, meditations, and breathwork exercises. You can also activate a nightlight or blackout mode—however you prefer to sleep. They also have a Rest by Loftie app with even more cool features.
Black Friday deals: 25% off sitewide + gift with purchase on Cyber Monday (excluding refurbished and gift cards) from November 28-December 2, 2025.
The Digital Detox Tool
Nothing says “anti-hustle” more than getting off your damn phone! Brick helps you take back control of your time by physically blocking off the apps that keep pulling you back in (i.e., social media, messages and group chats, Slack, or Teams). Unlike your phone's own limitation options that are easily ignored, Brick is a physical device that creates real friction. With one tap on the Brick, you can get back to your hobbies and passions without the distractions. A perfect gift for the student in your life, the friend who constantly whips out their phone during dinner, or for yourself, so you can stop the mindless doomscrolling.

The Must-Read Career Manifesto
We may be biased (because she’s the host of Girlboss’ Ambition 2.0 podcast, of course), but this book is a must-read for every single career woman, whether you’re just starting out, recovering from burnout, changing careers, or leaving behind a steady paycheck to start your own business. Amanda rethinks what modern ambition looks like—one where you can have it all without burning yourself out in the process. Through radical vulnerability, heartfelt storytelling, science-backed frameworks, and real-world tools, she helps readers build systems for a life that honors ambition and joy.
The Hand-Knitted Hug
Silk & Snow Hand Knitted Weighted Blanket
If there’s anyone out there who hasn’t experienced the joy of a weighted blanket, let this be your sign. It’s truly comforting and absolutely worth owning one (or two). This hand-knit version is made from 100% natural cotton, weighing 8 to 25 pounds, and comes in a lineup of cozy neutral colors that look good in any living room or bedroom. Instead of glass pellets or itchy fibers, the weight comes from the knit itself, so it feels soft, breathable, and luxuriously heavy in all the right ways. Pretty much like wrapping yourself in a big hug. Who doesn’t want that?

The Prettiest Puzzle
Piecework Tickled Pink 500-Piece Puzzle
If you want to give flowers but also want them to last longer than… a week, this puzzle is the move. It’s 500 pieces that literally look like a work of art disguised as a still-life bouquet. The puzzle pieces are printed on thick, high-quality recycled stock, so once they finish it, it’s seriously pretty enough to frame. How cute of a gift would this be if you worked on it together (with snacks, a cozy playlist, and a few glasses of Cab Sauv—the dream).

Make this moisturizing body oil—packed with four Ayurvedic antioxidant botanicals—a part of your routine. The luxurious, eczema-safe formula soothes inflammation, regenerates damaged skin, softens texture, and boosts recovery from harmful environmental exposure. Cheers to baby-soft skin, babes!
The Set on Everyone’s Wishlist
Let’s be honest: Everyone has something from rhode on their wishlist, and you can’t go wrong with this little on-the-go set. It comes with four rhode essentials—the Peptide Eye Prep, Peptide Lip Treatment (bonus: you get to choose the shade/flavor), the ultra-refreshing Glazing Mist, and the iconic rhode mirror. It’s everything she needs to look glazed, dewy, and put-together even for the most chaotic schedules.
The Gift of Instant Relief
This is the perfect gift for the friend who’s constantly saying, “Ugh, my neck is killing me,” or “I think I’m getting a headache,” or “Is Mercury in retrograde again?” Saje’s Pocket Farmacy comes with five natural essential oil roll-ons that tackle everything from stress and tension to upset tummies and sniffly noses. Everything fits neatly inside a chic vegan leather case (made with recycled materials, to boot), so it’s easy to toss in a tote or keep on a desk. It’s one of those things we all need but never think to buy—making it the perfect gift!

The Bread Bible
Bread Etc. by Matthew James Duffy
From Taylor Swift to Pamela Anderson, all the cool girls are doing it: making bread, that is! Good bread requires great patience and intense focus on the task at hand, which means it’s basically the perfect anti-hustle activity (and nothing’s more grounding than working flour with your hands). This super accessible guide to all things bread is geared to both novice and advanced bakers, and will teach you how to make everything from sourdough to pizza dough and more. We especially love the clear explanations and easy-to-read instructions, because it makes the process all the more relaxing.
The Better-Than-a-Bath-Bomb Experience
Raise your hand if you’ve ever gifted Epsom salt or a bath bomb. (We’re also raising ours. ✋) Maybe it’s time to shake things up and give an elevated stress-relief experience. The Flewd Stresscare Trio goes way beyond scent—it’s packed with magnesium, microminerals, and essential vitamins to help the body actually recover from stress, not just mask it. With Anxiety Destroying, Insomnia Ending, and Ache Erasing formulas, it’s basically three different kinds of calm in one box. Pair with a candle or a bottle of wine and you’re officially the best gift-giver.

The Delicious-Smelling Room Spray
Homecoming Candles Lavender & Sandalwood Home Mist
With just a few spritzes of this relaxing room spray, your giftee will feel like they’ve been transported to a spa (when in reality, their room has a faint smell of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and iced coffee). Notes of calming wild lavender, warm sandalwood, sweet orange, clove bud, palo santo, and sage will help them switch from work mode to unwind mode (and deodorize any questionable smells at the same time). Spray it on pillows, sheets, the couch—or anywhere else where they need a dose of chill.
