Overview

This theme can work for anyone. Who couldn’t use a little R & R?
It’s a nice touch if someone is going through a busy or stressful time (school, exams, new parents, etc).

Gift Ideas

Give some thought to what your giftee might consider restful or relaxing.
The sky’s the limit in terms of activities, but a few suggestions for you: a day at the beach, taking a bath, flying a kite, sitting by a fire, listening to an orchestra, visiting an art gallery, stargazing….
If you have a larger budget, you could purchase them a gift certificate at a spa (massage, pedicure…) or take them on a getaway somewhere relaxing.
Consider a gift card for their favorite coffee shop or perhaps take them out for a nice dinner.
Some other items that easily fit into this theme:
- Books, e-readers
- Cozy socks, slippers, comfortable clothing
- Headphones, soothing music
- A bottle of wine, herbal tea
- A new bed or bedding
- Aromatherapy products like candles and lotions
- Eye mask
On a tight budget? Offer to give them a massage, make a candle lit dinner, draw them a bubble bath, babysit for a night, or take a shift at work if you’re a co-worker.
Try making a personalized gift certificate like you used to make when you were a kid.

Wrapping

Put a picture of your giftee looking relaxed on the outside of the gift.
Wrap smaller gifts in a pair of cozy socks or use one of those calming gel eye packs as ‘ribbon’.
Spray the outside of the gift with your giftee’s favorite aromatherapy scent (lavender, eucalyptus…).

Presentation

Try starting out by acknowledging how much you appreciate what they do, and how much stress they may be under.
You could ask them to take 5 deep breaths before they even open their first gift.
Start with the simplest gift and work your way up to the one you think your giftee will like the most.
Get in touch with your inner child and create a “coupon book”. Remember those? For example, bind together some sheets of paper, each one stating something like ‘this coupon entitles the bearer to a 20 minute massage redeemable at anytime’.
Use quotes or phrases that relate to your theme when you present the gifts or in your card. For example:
- Hope you get a chance to “give it a rest” this birthday.
- Rest assured, all the extra work you’ve been putting in hasn’t gone unnoticed.
- Stressed spelled backwards is “desserts”…take time to enjoy something sweet.
- Hope this little stress reduction kit helps.
- It’s your birthday. Chill out.
- Take time to stop and smell the roses.
