Every Christmas during my childhood I would spend weeks preparing home made gifts for all my family.
I would busy myself with personalized stories, cards, artworks, you name it.
Fast forward to today and I love giving someone a unique and individualized gift, I know they’ll love.
But I also understand the struggle that comes with finding the perfect present.
Because the truth is… gift giving can be a rewarding but daunting task.
So, if you’re in need if some inspiration, I’ve rounded up my top 10 most relaxing and creative self care gifts!
1. Actually Curious: Intentional Conversation Game
Actually Curious explores questions of background, values, and views on important issues like diversity & inclusion, the environment and mental health.
And whether it’s a girls wine night with my closest friends, family get together, or simply something to pull out on a random Tuesday night with my fiancé, these thought provoking cards bring something different to the night making us more closer than ever before!)
One of my favorite things about these cards is that they don’t go straight into the deep stuff. Instead their split into four color coded levels:
- Blue = icebreakers
- Green= perspectives ( example: What are you willing to fight for?)
- Yellow= fulfillment
- Pink = deeper vulnerability
