Remember meeting a friend at the spa for a mani-pedi, adult conversation, and a few hours of self-care? That may not be in the cards at the moment, but those friendships are gold and should be nourished, even if you can't do the indulging together.
Why not put together a spa package for your spa buddy — and yourself — and have it shipped directly to remind both of you that self-care is important.
Here are five ideas, and all of them are easy, delightful, and ready to ship.
Sending hugs and pampering
$16.57
from
Send a hug and some boxed pampering all wrapped up in a beautiful gift box. This box of self-care includes a soy candle in the scent of your choice that says "Sending Hugs" on the label, an all-natural bath bomb, a scented loofah soap, a lip balm, a beautiful box of matches, and your message in a printed gift box.
Turn the bath into a retreat
Get in the bath, lock the door, and enjoy a respite from everything happening in the world. This bath caddy holds everything you need to enjoy some relaxation. It expands to fit your tub and holds a glass of wine and all your masks, soaps, and oils. There's a slot that holds a tablet or Kindle at just the right angle, and there's room for a candle. The only thing missing? A sign that reads, "Go away!"
Mental health in a box
Taking care of your mental health is a real challenge right now. Any help that any of us can get is welcome. If you know someone who is struggling to find time for a bit of self-care, order this targeted package that contains a hand-poured soy-blend wax candle, a French clay facial, bath salts, lip balm, and matches. All of it is wrapped up beautifully and will get your "Take care of yourself!" message across.
When you deserve a break and it's — seriously! — time
If your stress level has you swearing like a pirate, this is the pampering you need. Drop an F-bomb in the bath! Posh your lips up, motherpucker! And simmah down, beeatch!
Sometimes your relaxation just goes better when you swear, am I right?
This package isn't all cussing and attitude, though. It's for real. It contains a whipped body butter — you choose the scent — a vanilla and ginger foaming sugar scrub, a ginger coconut bath bomb, lavender and sage bath salts, lavender lip balm, a loofah pad, and some seriously hot pink packaging.
These weighted, flax-filled eye masks are a nap waiting to happen
Put one of these in the microwave for a couple of minutes, lie down, and get ready to relax under this weighted, lavender-scented eye mask, because this will get it done. All you have to do is commit to 10 minutes of self-care and you will wake up refreshed — perhaps an hour later — with eyes that are thankful for finally getting some attention.
You can freeze these, too, for a quick eye depuffing. Get one for a friend and one for yourself. It will become your go-to me moment and is easy to fit into even the craziest day.
