For people struggling with depression & low self esteem:
The Worthy Candle from A State of Being
A candle company after our own hearts: they make candles that come complete with beautiful affirmations written right on the candle. We chose the Worthy Candle because the affirmation is so beautiful:
“I am worthy. I release the belief that my value is tied to other’s opinions of me. I am worthy.”
We believe that everyone deserves to know that, and the people in your life trying to manage feelings of depression might need that reminder.
For people struggling with anxiety:
The Perfectionism Journal: Guided Prompts and Mindfulness Practices to Reduce Anxiety and Find Calm
Why do we love this workbook? Well, for starters, we love a journal. But even better than that, it was created by a counselor, which means it’s not just some fluffy mindfulness journal – it was written by someone who knows how anxiety works and how we can reduce it. And it’s only $9.99. A thoughtful gift that won’t break the bank for the anxious people you love in your life.
For people struggling with grief:
Conversations With You Journal
One of the most thoughtful things you can do for someone you know who is grieving is acknowledging their loss. We hear so many people in grief say, “people just stopped asking about ____,” or “everyone is just going on as if nothing happened.” Getting someone in grief a thoughtful gift that acknowledges their loss can be a powerful way to show them that you see them.
This journal gives really sweet and meaningful prompts that allows a person to continue their conversation with their loved one. And it’s customizable – for conversations with mom, dad, a friend, a child.
For kids:
My Magical Journal: A journal for Children to Use as Daily Reflection for Big Feelings With Prompts to Navigate Feelings
Another great book created by a therapist – this one for kids! A kid friendly way for the littles to explore, identify, and understand their feelings. Because it’s 2022 and teaching kids to shove their emotions away is so 1989.
For the therapy lover:
Mental Health T-Shirts from The Therapist Boutique
The Therapist Boutique is an online shop full a therapy merch – made by a therapist! There are tons of designs to choose from, perfect for anyone in your life who values their mental health (and some for those with a great sense of humor.)
For self care:
Weighted Blanket
We believe that a blanket is a great gift for anyone. Blankets are soothing, comforting, decorative, and functional. Weighted blankets take the soothing and comforting part to the next level. This is a great gift to encourage moments of relaxation and decompression.
