Self care gifts for women: aromatherapy rollers, sleep sprays & eye pillows

Choosing self care gifts for women

The most used self care gifts for women are small, simple and fit into a routine she already has, such as a bath, a commute or the last ten minutes before bed. A roller sits in a handbag, a balm works at a desk, and a pillow spray takes seconds. If you are unsure of her taste in scent, lavender and citrus blends are the safest picks, and an unscented eye mask suits anyone. Bouclé, The Mood Club, Haoma, Sop, SKNFED and BristolMade make most of the range. Every brand was checked for its ingredients and how its products are made before we listed it.

Rollers, balms and essential oils

Bouclé makes pulse point rollers in blends such as chamomile, lavender and neroli, or frankincense, bergamot and geranium. Haoma makes organic mood rolls, and SKNFED makes aromatherapy balms such as Positivity, Peaceful, Balance and Sleep Well. Sop sells single essential oils such as lavender, bergamot and sweet orange for a diffuser. Patch test a new blend on your inner arm before using it on your neck or temples.

Pillow sprays and eye pillows

For sleep aids for women, Bouclé makes pillow sprays with lavender and vetiver, Douvalls makes a natural sleep spray and MadeKind makes a Sleep Well pillow spray. BristolMade makes an eye pillow and a sleep mask, both filled with lavender, and So Just Shop sells a jungle print cotton eye mask. Flawless makes a self-heating eye mask, and Dalia Botanique makes a botanical sleep oil. Use the same scent each night, so it becomes part of your wind-down.

Gift sets and card sets

Bouclé makes aromatherapy gift sets such as Soothing Rituals and Relaxing Rituals, MadeKind makes a Sleep Well gift box, and The Mood Club makes card sets and gift boxes for relaxing and focus. SKNFED makes an aromatherapy ritual set, and Lovewell makes a votive aromatherapy trio. Many come ready to wrap for Christmas, which saves time in a busy December. Women's Body Care has bath soaks, Women's Pyjamas has pyjamas in organic cotton, Aromatherapy has more blends, and Self-care guide: The maintenance that keeps everything else running has ideas to try.
