Updated: Aug 4, 2021


Tis the season to give! I love Holiday shopping for the people that are near and dear to me. It’s the time for giving and gifting, so I’m happy to share my holiday gift guide for self-care as we stay home to celebrate Christmas and New Years'.

It brings me joy to see others light up when I give them a thoughtful gift and uplift their spirits during the holidays. That being said, I only give what I personally love and use that would be beneficial to others as well. Here is my 2020 Self-Care Holiday Gift Guide list and hope this gives you inspiring gift ideas. Enjoy shopping!
