We all need to take a pause every now and then, to administer some self-love and TLC – and a thoughtful gift encouraging your loved one, colleague, neighbour or friend to do exactly that is sure to go down well.

However, actually putting pause on running errands, work, juggling children, you name it, is certainly easier said than done – which is why a wellbeing or mindfulness gift is such a lovely present idea, whether it be for a birthday, Christmas or just to say 'I'm thinking of you'. Heck, you can even treat yourself to one (or all) of the gifts on this list. After all, self-care is self-care, right!?

From luxury aromatherapy oils to DIY face mask kits from small businesses, meditation gift cards and beyond, we've rounded up the very best products that promise to help boost mood and mental health. Whether or not the person you're gift shopping for is a mindfulness fan already, there's bound to be something on our list that will earn you some serious brownie points.

Included in our roundup are also top picks from Cosmopolitan UK editors as well as gift ideas that are specifically suggested in the hopes of being helpful to anybody who suffers from stress or anxiety in particular.

Time to get your mindfulness on...

We are all well acquainted with the healing powers of aromatherapy oils, but if you want more than just a pulse point boost, why not infuse your entire space with a gorgeous, calming aroma?

Aromatherapy Associates’ Atomiser Connect is a waterless and heatless essential oil diffuser with two chambers allowing you to select which of their heavenly scents you’re in need of without any fiddly bottle changes, or even double up and use both to fill a bigger space.

It’s wireless, too, which makes it perfect for moving seamlessly between rooms and there’s an app with a spa-inspired guided breathing meditation which you can follow along as your space fills with calming scents.

We loved how easy this diffuser was to use with its timer settings, which also meant we didn’t leave it running all day and forget about it. You may just be tempted to keep this gift for yourself…

Liforme 'White Magic' Yoga Mat

From mastering breathwork to honing your focus and shutting out the outside world, there is truly no better wellness activity than yoga – and what better way to support someone’s asana than by gifting them a gorgeous new mat?

Liforme’s mats are designed in collaboration with teacher Kino MacGregor and feature impressive grip technology to ensure your hands stay put during those infamously slippy three-legged dogs. We loved that this white version brought a certain glam to our morning vinyasa and helped us nail our warrior poses using the gold alignment markers.

Liforme’s mats are also biodegradable and PVC-free too, so it’s a great gift for the eco-conscious yogi in your life.

Name a better gift than an orgasm. We’ll wait…

Clit sucker toys have truly taken over the sexual wellness space in the last year with their oral-mimicking technology. Leader of the pack, Lelo, brought out the Sona 2 in 2023 which uses conic pulses and vibrations for the ultimate moment of pleasure.

The Sona 2 stimulates the clitoris from ‘within’ and with 12 different intensities and patterns to choose from is a gift that will truly keep on giving.

Our Cosmo reviewer was “blown away” when they tried it and has marked it down as a new favourite. Quite an endorsement.
