When we think of gifts for self care, we typically think of candles and fuzzy slippers. While they are amazing, we have been on both the giving and receiving end of those gifts. This gift guide is universal and can be tailored for occasions like graduation, celebrating a start of a business, a friend getting a divorce, or any other life milestone. These gifts have things like healthy habits, self compassion, mental health, and intention in mind.

Gifts For Graduation and Career Changes

Nine to Kind Possibility Planner
Gift Cards & Thoughtful Notes

Gifting the Nine to Kind Possibility Planner with a series of gift cards and notes is the gift that makes a lasting impact year round. Add extra personal touches like including a time where they can use the gift card (late night studying, etc) and include local shops. Gifting this together tells your overthinker or overdoer that self care is year round and must be included in their to do list.

Gifts For Your Coworker (who might also be burning out)

Consistent travel can be both exciting and draining. Items like packing cubes and travel containers offer a practical solution that eases the stress of being on the go. The face wipes are solid for plane delays (washing your face in an airport bathroom sucks) and the portable charger offers peace of mind for unexpected delays. The Nine to Kind Possibility Planner is great for travel because it includes extra blank pages in between each week for travel lists and on the go note taking.

Sollevato Coffee Subscription
InstaPot Milk Frother
Kahawa 1893 Single Serve Coffee Packets

Planners and coffee go together like PB&J am I right?! Both can become a morning routine staples that set you up for a day of doing. A milk frother will save you or your friend so much money by learning how to make lattes at home. Coffee subscriptions ensure that you are never out of that caffeine goodness (quality coffee at my doorstep? yes please) The Nine to Kind Possibility Planner brings it all together as a ritual that both gets you going and brings you to the present.

Gifts For the Planner Aficionado

Dagne Dover Tech Kit

Pilot Frixion Erasable Pens
Craighill Perch Bookmark (Engravable)

Listen, remember every fall when we would get a little bit excited about new pens and notebooks? This is the adulting version of this. A tech kit can be used for phone cords and hardrives, or it can house all of your planner stationery (like post its and pens). Erasable pens offer even more margin for error and reduce the stress of messing up! Personalized Bookmarks are great for adding a sentimental touch along with the practicality of the item. All can be used with the Nine to Kind Possibility Planner!

Leze the Label Sets

Working from home has its perks, but it is common to end up in the slump of pj pants and robe-like cardigans. Leze the Label has sets and individual pieces that are cozy like your yoga pants, but created with cuts and fabric that are in-office approved. Pair this with the Nine to Kind Possibility Planner to help your friend (or yourself) feel inspired in their home office…even if it is the couch.

The Herbal Zen Shower Steamers
Hive to Home Candle Co Wax Melts
Deiux Reusable Eye Patches

One of our biggest tips for overwhelm is start with your body then revisit the mind. For anyone in need of a reset, a quick mini spa session is where it is at. Using shower steamers or bath bombs are a great sensory experience. Wax melts or candles create a more soothing atmosphere. Eye patches or face masks are that little treat that many of us associate with self care! Having that physical reset paired with the mental reset with The Nine to Kind Possibility Planner bridges all the types of self care in one experience.

We may be biased but…

We believe that the Nine to Kind Possibility Planner makes for a unique, thoughtful gift that is guaranteed to be used. Having an undated format ensures that whoever receives the gift can start anytime without the pressure of time constraints. The planner is full of features that are therapist-backed and all supporting the spirit of ongoing, intentional self care. Want to see more? Check it out HERE!
