Give the Gift of Self-Care / Caring Gift Ideas for Those You Love

Written by Joanne Taylor, writer, makeup artist, and skincare consultant 

Are you stumped on what gift to give someone special? Are you pressed for time but still want them to know how much you care? Look no further than a collection of self-care products, or a surprise gift certificate from Glow Spa. 

Here are some suggestions on themed self-care product packages, and also about how to enhance a gift certificate to create an even better surprise! 

1 -. Themed baskets, like Glow Spa Bee by the Sea products, can be given with a jar of honey and honey spoon, or with edible honey products, such as honeycomb, or pollen for cooking. 


2 - For someone recovering from an illness or a sudden change in their lives, giving a basket of natural foods with healing properties, alongside a gift card for self-care, is a meaningful gift. Foods can include traditional ones like fresh grapes, teas, and honey, or specialty teas. 


3 - For quick and easy gifts, choose a manicure or pedicure specific gift certificate, and pair it with a hand or foot cream, scrub brush, loofah, and a soaking bowl. 


4 - Gift cards with travel size lotions and cleansers, paired with a sheet mask, are great for both holidays and hospital visits. 


5 - Seasonal shower products, or bath oils, accompanied with a candle, or home oil and fragrance is a winner alongside a gift certificate. 


6 - Give the gift certificate with flowers, either with or without a vase. Bouquets of flowers, or a single rose with a gift card is an attractive gift. Make it even more special by using the language of flowers. Specific flowers symbolise specific emotions and intentions. For example, red tulips represent true love, pink roses convey happiness, and yellow roses symbolise friendship and joy. By using the symbolic language of flowers, your gift becomes even more thoughtful


7 - A fun way to present a gift card is by putting together products using a colour theme. Fun and fresh food like oranges, or a bag of rainbow gumballs, can be a centrepiece or pop in a pair of fun socks with a pedicure gift card. 


8 - The new Eminence strawberry-rhubarb products at Glow Spa can be accompanied with jams, biscuits, and Yorkshire’s new tea, Malty Biscuit which tastes just like tea and biscuits. 


9 - A self-care journal and a new pen with a gift certificate for an afternoon at GlowSpa is a thoughtful gift for someone you care for.


10 –Wrap a self-care gift card with comforting blanket, a soft robe, or a reusable hot water bottle cover to cuddle in bed for a special surprise. 


By giving a Glow Spa gift card you can share your favourite service, spa product, choose something you think they would like to try, or purchase something they already love. 


Whether it’s a birthday gift, anniversary, Christmas gift, or simply “just because” the gift of self-care makes everyone feel extra special!
