47 Gifts to Give Yourself

Beautiful gifts you can give yourself and boost your mental health

You are probably thinking that giving a gift to yourself seems a little selfish, right?  Or maybe you are thinking that it is about time somebody show you some love and that somebody might as well be you!  Giving a present to yourself can actually be a very vital part of self care.  When we balance the care we give ourselves with our other life duties and life stresses, we will feel more able to handle what life throws at us.  Plus, we’ll be even more rejuvenated to help other that need us–which is very unselfish after all.

Self care is something that we do deliberately.  It’s when we take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health.  Agnes Wainman, Ph.D. C.Psych. has defined self care as “something that refuels us rather than takes from us” (source).  Each of us knows our own heart and what we need to feel empowered and happy inside.  Look for little things that bring you joy and relax you.  They don’t have to be big things.  Sometimes simple self care that is only a few minutes a day can revive your soul in profound ways.  Schedule self care into you daily routine if you need to. 

So take a few moments today to give yourself a present.  It doesn’t necessarily have to be a physical gift that is all wrapped up with ribbons and bows.  In fact, sometimes the more abstract, non-physical gifts are the most rewarding.  There are many kinds of gifts to give yourself.  Take a look below at these 47 gifts to give yourself.  Pick a few that might be helpful to you this week.  Keep this list handy for when you are in need of a little self care, and be sure to surprise yourself with a little gift once in awhile.

About Lisa Jorgensen

I was hit by an intoxicated driver when I was walking on the sidewalk. I was also 6 months pregnant at the time. I learned a huge lesson about miracles and not taking life for granted. I believe in finding the good and making life blissful with family, food, and fun ideas. Every moment matters.
