Cozy Weighted Blankets and High-Quality Sleep Mask
Did you know that getting our eight hours of sleep is actually so much more important than you think to help alleviate stress and allow our body to recover and relax? If you have a friend who often mentions that they’ve had a rough night of sleep, we recommend getting them a weighted blanket and sleep masks so that they can have better quality sleep. The blanket’s pressure can help ease their body and relieve feelings of stress and anxiousness, while the sleep masks can help reduce any outside factors that can cause a distracting nighttime environment, allowing for a deeper, uninterrupted experience of sleep.
On top of that, you can also add a nighttime drink that is filled with magnesium or ingredients like ashwaghanda that help relax your body for a good night’s rest, like Naked Harvest’s Hot Choc Moon Mylk!

Gellae Manicure Starter Kits
We believe in tending to every part of your body, and one of our most neglected parts is our nail health! If you’ve got a friend who struggles with nail biting or is looking to find an affordable alternative to getting their nails done at the salon, we recommend trying out our Starter Kits. These kits are designed to get the perfect nail-salon experience at home without the fuss of searching for any extra accessories or equipment, leaving you stress-free and well-prepped for a manicure night.
These starter kits allow you to choose two or more gellae designs and accessories of your choice, and a FREE UV lamp to cure your nails (we know - it’s a bargain)! We offer two types of starter kits:
- Our Original Starter Kit - which provides you a FREE UV curing lamp
- Our Ultimate Starter Kit - which provides you $30 off our UV curing lamp and nail-care tools like our Nourishing Cuticle Oil Pen & Gellae Nail Remover, Mini Manicure Kit and Dual-Ended Silicone Pusher/Quartz Pen.
This is an essential for anyone who lives life a little too fast who would love a chance to slow down for some good quality self-care time.
4. Skincare Fridge
Skincare can be a costly investment, especially when you need to purchase your refills. One of the best ways to take care of them is to store them as efficiently and carefully as possible. A skincare fridge is the perfect choice for those who need an effective and cooling method to store their skincare products! It not only keeps your products cooling, which can help with skin redness, but it also lengthens the life of the ingredients inside your skincare products.
Our friends at The Beauty F-x have incredible skincare fridges!
5. Silk Hair Bonnet and Silk Pillowcase
Adding a silk hair bonnet and high-quality silk pillowcases to your hair-care and sleep routine is a fantastic way to elevate your self-care rituals! These bonnets are incredibly helpful in protecting your hair from friction and damage while you’re asleep, while also providing a cooling feel against your hair and skin. In addition, the silk fabric’s hypoallergenic and antibacterial qualities are gentle on sensitive skin and can reduce skin breakouts and skin damage!
