Buy the gifts. Wrap the gifts. Bake the cookies. Visit the family. Find an outfit for the holiday party… and the list goes on. With so many un-checked to-do-list boxes vying for your attention, it’s easy to get wrapped up in the whirlwind of the season without taking any time for yourself to actually enjoy it.
If you—or anyone on your holiday shopping list—can relate, this roundup of calming presents is for you. Whether you’re shopping for friends, relatives, or coworkers who are feeling just as hectic about the holidays as you are, consider gifting them something that will allow them to sit down and breathe a sigh of relief—during December and beyond.
From soothing Charlotte’s WebCBD products to other tried-and-true calming presents like cozy weighted blankets, essential oil diffusers, creative meditation stickers, and more, you can bring less-stressed vibes to everyone on your list.
And don’t forget to pick up something for yourself, too. Because a self-gifting moment that allows you to pencil in some me-time among all the festivities definitely counts as self care.
10 calming presents to help your loved ones invite some tranquility into their lives.
Charlotte's Web, Calm Gift Set — $165.00
Totally chill vibes, right this way. This customizable CBD set is the ultimate gift for promoting a sense of calm and combatting occasional stress.* Choose between three sizes of hemp-extract gummies, a one-month or three-month supply of CBD oil (that comes in yummy flavors like mint chocolate or orange blossom), and either a lavender or peppermint essential oil roller to encourage deep breathing.
Brooklinen, Votive Candle Set — $59.00
What’s better than the peaceful ambience of flickering candles? When the scent of the candle is infused with essential oils that are meant to match (or shift) your giftee’s mood as they burn. Pairs perfectly with a fuzzy blanket and a relaxing evening snuggled up on the couch.
Charlotte's Web, Sleep Gift Set — $165.00
The holiday season can leave everyone a little short on sleep, so don’t be surprised if the recipient of this gift ditches the holiday party early to go test out the sleep-supporting qualities of this gift set.

Zonli, Dark Grey Premium Cotton Weighted Blanket — $79.00
For that friend whose love language is physical touch, this luxurious weighted blanket will act as a hug whenever they need it. And, no worries if you’re shopping for a hot sleeper—its breathable cotton fibers will aid a good night’s sleep without risking the dreaded midnight blanket kick-off.
Vitruvi, Stone Essential Oil Diffuser — $123.00
Is there a better way to spread some chill, aromatic vibes than by gifting this elegant diffuser that looks like a work of art?

Pink Moon, Gua Sha Spa Day — $125.00
Treat the person who could use an amped-up self-care routine to this kit that includes two gua shas made from raw natural stones (one is a more advanced tool that’s best used for body tensions) and a four-in-one oil that will leave the skin and hair feeling silky soft.
Sony, Noise Canceling Overhead Headphones — $348.00
We all have that one person on our list who constantly has music playing (read: blasting), but, hey, relaxation looks different for everyone. They’ll appreciate these noise-canceling headphones with a 30-hour battery life so they can listen to their tunes in peace all day long.
