Essential oils are gifting gold, especially since lavender oil lowers stress, says a 2018 Evidence-Based Complementary Medicine study. Mix 10 drops lavender oil, 5 drops frankincense oil, and 2 ounces jojoba oil in a 10ml roller bottle. Add a label: “Roll on wrists, breathe deep.” This DIY aromatherapy roller is a portable natural remedy for mental health, perfect for on-the-go relaxation. Your giftee will thank you when they’re chilling instead of stressing in traffic.
Item #3: Bath Soak for Ultimate Zen
Nothing says self-care like a soak in the tub, and Epsom salts relax muscles, per a 2017 Journal of Integrative Medicine study.

Include instructions: “Add ½ cup to warm water, soak for 20 minutes.” This DIY bath soak is a wellness must for relaxation, turning any bathroom into a spa. It’s a gifting win that screams, “Treat yourself!”

Journaling boosts mental health, says a 2018 Journal of Affective Disorders study, and a personalized touch makes it extra special.
