Self-care gifts are the gifts that keep on giving.

After all, everyone can use a little more self-love—including you!

That might mean donning a sheet mask or taking a long hot soak in the tub (or ideally, both at the same time). Or it could be about getting more sleep, releasing stress or just having the chance to lounge around. 

Whatever "me time" looks like for you or your loved ones, here are 20+ gifts to inspire self-care:

The Best Self-Care Gifts of 2020

Herbivore Self-Love Body Ritual Kit

Herbivore Self-Love Body Ritual Kit is all you need for a self-care session. It includes two of my favourite body scrubs (both reviewed here), plus a jasmine-scented body oil, all made with natural ingredients.

The Nue Co. Functional Fragrance

The Nue Co. Functional Fragrance is an anti-stress supplement in the form of a unisex fragrance. After studying data on the connection between scent and emotion, the company created this woody, smoky, spicy scent—which is scientifically proven to calm and reduce stress.

TULA Self-Care Sunday Nourishing Face Mask

TULA Self-Care Sunday Nourishing Face Mask is an intensive moisturizing mask that gives your skin some TLC. It contains ceramides, probiotics and various skin "superfoods" (like apple extract) to boost hydration and reduce inflammation. 

Patchology Perfect Weekend FlashMasque Kit

Patchology Perfect Weekend FlashMasque Kit is for when your weekend plans involve Netflix and sheet masks. This set gives you three of the latter: a hydrating mask, an illuminating mask and a milk peel mask (with lactic acid and fruit enzymes). 

Vitruvi Quiet Time Diffuser Set

Vitruvi Quiet Time Diffuser Set helps you enjoy quiet moments at home with an essential oil diffuser plus a calming blend of geranium, ylang-ylang, clary sage and amyris oils. The diffuser itself is handcrafted from matte ceramic, and uses ultrasonic technology to give you three hours of non-stop aromatherapy (or seven hours of 30-second intervals). I have one and use it all the time!

Slip Ultimate Beauty Sleep Collection

Slip Ultimate Beauty Sleep Collection gets you ready for some serious beauty sleep. This set includes a silk pillowcase, sleep mask and three scrunchies (one large, two small). I'm using this eye mask at the moment and it's pure luxury!

Lano The Ultimate Strength Hand Duo

Lano The Ultimate Strength Hand Duo is a set of two intensive hand creams that truly work. (The brand calls this formula "the hand cream for hand cream experts," and it's not hard to see why!) I believe it's the nourishing lanolin that makes these the most effective creams I've found for healing dry, chapped hands.

Ban.do Self Care Lounge Hoodie

Ban.do Self Care Lounge Hoodie is the literal interpretation of self-care—throwing on a cozy, comfy hoodie made from extra-soft, pre-shrunk fleece.

Goop G.Tox Travel Kit

Goop G.Tox Travel Kit transforms any shower or bath into a detoxifying experience. You get a creamy body wash, an invigorating scalp scrub, a charcoal-based bath soak (reviewed here) and a body scrub (reviewed here). I was gifted this entire kit and it's so pampering!

UGG Stellan Weighted Faux Fur Wellness Blanket

This lightweight but nourishing moisturizer is whipped up from shea butter, baobab seed oil, bacillus (a fermented ocean extract) and glutathione (an antioxidant). And the packaging sure is pretty! 

Skin Gym Skin Camp

Skin Gym Skin Camp is a pick-me-up for tired eyes. This kit includes three pairs of eye gel masks, plus a mini rose quartz roller to boost circulation and reduce puffiness. Of course, you could also use the roller on the rest of your face, too! 

Mason Pearson Popular Mixture Hair Brush

Mason Pearson Popular Mixture Hair Brush is from the best hair brush brand in the world, as any hairstylist will agree. As I explained here, they last forever and are one of the all-time best beauty investments. Choose from a range of different models and sizes for different hair types. Everyone needs one of these!

Diptyque Mini Candle Set

Diptyque Mini Candle Set is five travel-sized candles from the most beloved candle brand. Of course, you get Baies, along with Figuier, Muguet, Ambre and Verveine scents. They also do double-duty, because you can re-use the vessels as makeup holders when they're done!

Kopari Wrapped in Coconut

Kopari Wrapped in Coconut is a trio of clean, coconut-based self-care products. There's an aluminum-free deodorant, a petroleum-free lip balm, and a jar of 100 percent coconut oil (a.k.a. "the mother of all multitaskers").
