Are you looking for the perfect self care gift ideas? Whether it be for reminding someone that you love them, birthdays, Christmas, or more, self care gifts are always ideal.
Self care is an increasingly important topic of discussion. Now more than ever it is important to remind the people you love the value in relaxing. These are great gift ideas because we all love self care, yet I’m sure most of us struggle to prioritize it. I am even more sure most of us don’t like to buy our self care items either.
However, shopping for others and coming up with the best gift ideas can be hard and daunting. From creating your own gift baskets, to finding the perfect pre-made gift baskets, it can be a difficult task. With that said, to make your life easier, here are a handful of ideas they are sure to love. From understanding exactly how to make your gift basket or how to find the perfect pre-made basket, I have got you covered.

How to Accomplish Your Gift Ideas via Gift Basket
Creating a gift basket is much easier than you think. Gift baskets are my favorite gift choice as you can personalize them and gift a lot of different items. I typically just grab an affordable woven basket from Amazon and get to stuffing it with all of my gift items.
However, you can make it prettier with little bag decorations. I love this one I found on Amazon and it’s great depending on the occasion you are gifting for. They are much easier to carry around and even have their own wrapping.
Lastly, adding some crinkle paper just brings it to life a little more as well. This is of course optional. Sometimes having a fully packed gift basket does the job well enough and you may not even see the decorative paper anyway.

Individual Gift Ideas
These gift ideas are great for those looking to hand over just one nicely wrapped gift. These don’t need to be complimented by other items in order to make for a great self care item.
Robe
I don’t know what it is about a nice, plush robe, but they scream self care to me! I love wrapping myself in one of these during a nice self care day and I am sure others do too. You can’t go wrong with adding to someone’s robe collection.
Gift Cards
This one is great on its own or even stuffed into a gift basket. Some great places for self care finds are:
- Sephora
- Ulta
- Bath and Body Works
- The Body Shop
- Target
- Amazon
Blankets
Blankets are great gifts for encouraging rest. There is nothing like curling up in a nice, cozy, and warm blanket and just being lazy all day. This one is so plush and fluffy which makes for a great self care gift!
Spa or Beauty Treatment Credit
Find a local spa for the person you are gifting and get them a gift card! There are so many ways you can find local spas that would be fit for the person you are buying for. Searching massages or for specific beauty treatments will take you to some near them. If you need beauty treatment ideas to search for locally, I have a blog post all about popular beauty treatments that make me feel well taken care of here!
Gift Ideas for your Gift Baskets
There are so many gifts you can stuff your gift baskets with! Whether these are items you choose to put in a basket or not, they are great self care gifts.
Slippers
Comfortable indoor slippers are a crucial part of self care. Comfort = self care, of course! These slippers are perfect for slipping on after a nice warm shower or bath and lounging around the house.
Shower steamers
Shower steamers are a great form of aromatherapy which can be so relaxing. These are great for people who prefer a nice shower over a bath.
Bath bombs
Bath bombs are always a great idea. They make self care much more fun and also encourage people to take some time to care for themselves.
Bubble Bath
A nice bubble bath is an amazing self care essential. Dr Teal’s has a great collection of different scented and purposeful bubble baths but this one is my favorite therefore I always recommend it. I don’t buy any other bubble bath so I can encourage this one with confidence!
Fuzzy socks
Face masks
I love all things skin care and I think items like face masks are a great addition to gift baskets. With that said, some of my favorite ever masks are the Dr.Jart+ masks. Literally any mask that brand has – I love. I absolutely recommend shopping there for some of their masks whether that be through Sephora or online. Amazon even has a bundle of them linked below! For more on why I love Dr. Jart+, I talk more about my favorite skin care essentials here.
Whitening strips
Candles
Candles are a great way to encourage others to take care of their home and selves. The way your home smells is always an important step in self care.
Pre-made Self Care Gift Baskets
Lastly, if you’re looking for a quick pre-made gift basket, look no further. These are perfect gifts if you’re looking for something quick that you can just send straight to their doorstep. These are great as feel better or get better, and even more type of gifts!
