Lockdown has left our lives upended, and self-care is important now more than ever. If you’re feeling the iso blues kicking in then it won’t surprise you if your loved ones are as well. Have you considered gifting your friends, colleagues, and loved ones a self-care kit personalised to them?

These gift hampers are perfect as:

Read on to find out which of our gorgeous curated products would be perfect to add to your luxury self-care kits.

1. Tea to soothe the soul

Is there a more soothing sensation than wrapping your hands around a mug of tea?

The blend is essential – take your cues from what varieties the recipient enjoys.

For a speciality blend, try our Vitality tea bags from Love Tea. Carefully crafted by a naturopath with a blend of organic herbs to restore vitality and support energy production.

There’s nothing more key to a cup of tea than the mug, so choose wisely!

If you’re sending a wedding thank you gift, the mug will become part of the happy couple’s collection. If it’s for a corporate hamper, there’s nothing worse than gifting an impractical or inferior quality mug.

Our organic ceramic mug by Robert Gordon is half dipped with a stunning glaze, and is made to order in Australia.

2. Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate

Perfect in luxury gift hampers for her

For those days when all you want to do is curl up under the doona, chocolate is the go-to.

Chocolate releases endorphins into the brain, which boost mood and other studies have shown that other antioxidant molecules found in chocolate can even boost cognitive performance.

Dark chocolate is a guilty pleasure and health-food combined (or at least that’s what we tell ourselves!). Deliciously sinful, but packed full of antioxidants and minerals. Add our Bahen & Co. Chocolate with 80% cacao for an indulgent self-care staple.

3. Nourish the Skin and Body

Add these to gift baskets for the favourite women in your life

Pampering the skin is an integral part of any self-care routine.

Surprise your recipient with something they might not have tried. Bath soaks, body polish or a salt scrub will add a distinctive touch.

4. Make their space glow

The light of a candle gives a comforting glow to any space

Candles can be part of self-care in a variety of ways – to read by, a focus for meditation or as a peaceful touch during bath-time relaxation.

Perfect for a thank you gift or as part of a gratitude practice, the creamy soy candles by The Commonfolk Collective will light your recipient’s way in their self-care journey.
