26 Best Self-Care Gifts That are De-stressing AF & Under $30

All anyone really wants for Christmas is good coquito (that doesn’t mess with their stomach), one thing you can’t afford (thanks Mom and Dad), and a handful of really nice self-care treats that say I love you enough to go beyond your average Bath & Body Works gift card. Though let’s face it, that lotion lasts for months!

To help you with the latter, we’ve scraped the internet to find 27 thoughtful gifts your friends are going to love you for. From anxiety care to bruja magic tricks, we’ve got the full spectrum of options to make you the queen of all gift giving. Check em out!

Herb Sheers

Nothing says self-care like deleting your seamless app, hitting the grocery store, and picking up some badass kitchen utensils to make cooking fun again. Pair these sheers with two basil plants from Whole Foods (so rich in antioxidants), and then (if you really love your friend) re-pot both of those plants with a gorgeous planter from Lowe’s.

Black Truffle Honey

Your foodie pals will love you for this little, truffle splurge. Kick this jar up a notch with a nice, strong white cheddar cheese from your local cheese shop, and watch your friends drizzle this with delight on top of the butteriest grilled cheese on the planet. Then ask for at least 5 bites!

Packing Crates

Here’s how you pull this off: Ask your friend what kind of suitcase they have and say it’s because you’re looking for a new one. Then find a way to pull some subtle details out about the color or interior of their suitcase. Followed by being confused if you want a pop of color or just a black interior for your suitcase, and wondering out loud if packing crates are even useful. And with that, you’ll learn how to pick the perfect color packing crates for your friend’s suitcase, and figure out if they already have them! And if you want to kick the gift up a notch, fill it with packets of your favorite facials or try these from CeLaVi for only 8.99.

Give a gift that makes travel easy with this hanging toiletry bag. And if you have a few extra dollars to spend, fill it with yummy travel products your friends might skimp on, like bobby-pins, lip gloss, facemasks or palo santo oil.

Bath Bombs

Nothing relaxes the muscles and resets the body like THC infused bath soak. Visit your local, recreational marijuana dispensary (if your state has one) and ask if they have any De La Beuh bombs or related products like bath salts! Kick this up to Celine Dion levels of extra and add this bottle of Honest bubble bath for $10.79 on Amazon.

Posture Corrector

This is one of those perfect gifts that we all think of, and would never buy ourselves. If you happen to be in a white elephant gift swap this year, throw one of these puppies in there — fully knowing it will get laughs at first. But someone will grab it. And then a few months later they will take you to happy hour, get you thoroughly hammered and thank you profusely for saving their back (and health).

Vaginal Care-Kit

Mix and match these everyday bathroom goodies and help your girlfriend put vaginal care first. Especially if your girl is on a dating-spree; there’s nothing worse than having a great night of sex followed by a funky ph balance in the chocha later. And if you wanna be a super awesome friend, throw in these Amazon cotton underwear for 12.99. They are stupid comfortable, breathable, 95% cotton and hands down my favorite underwear ever.

Living Proof No Frizz Shield Hairspray

When you first hand this gift over, your friend will hug you and say thank you. When your friend finally uses this on a humid day, she will call you, invite you to steak dinner, pay for everything, and then offer you her first born. Nothing protects my hair from the most humid of New York City weather like this spray. If you wanna be a real G, just get her two bottles. She’ll probably throw in baby number two to make it an even swap.

Turkish Towel

I switched to all Turkish towels about three years ago, and I will probably never go back to a regular terry cloth towel. These large, highly absorbent towels are a super soft luxury to add to your everyday shower routine. In fact, they are so comfortable, you might find yourself lounging around in these 100% cotton wraps for hours at a time, making them the perfect compliment to any self-care day. They also dry much faster than a regular towel, which is super helpful if your bathroom doesn’t have windows, making your regular towels gather mildew much quicker (not these!)

Silk Nightgown

Perfect for those days where our sleep means a lot, this silk dress nightgown takes the best parts of two-piece sleep set, and leaves the extra fabric behind. To make the gift even more special, consider pairing it with a pair of fluffy, slouchable socks! Super sexy!
