🌿 Wrap-Up
I love gifts that remind people to take care of themselves — not because they should, but because they deserve to. Whether it’s a cozy blanket, a favorite lotion, or just ten minutes with a cup of tea and no interruptions, self-care isn’t selfish. It’s maintenance for your soul.
If you try any of these or gift them to someone special, I’d love to hear what they think!
xoxo, Dana
P.S. My books and printables also make great self-care gifts — you can find them on Amazon and in the Living with Dana Etsy shop.
