Yahoo Finance This Quilted Weighted Blanket Will Make You Feel Better No Matter What
Wellness trends come and go, but hygge is very much here to stay. And I'm not only here for it, but I'm celebrating it by gifting everyone I know some very hygge gifts this year.
No clue what I'm talking about? Gather 'round the Christmas tree and let me tell a story: It might sound like a fancy, intimidating word (all together now, it's pronounced: hoo-gah), but hygge's premise is super simple. For ultimate bliss, according to the Danes who coined the term, do whatever it takes to feel cozy and recharged in both body and mind. After all, isn't that what the holidays are all about?
Anyway, just like self-care, hygge can take on different forms for different folks. Whether you get that warm-cozy feeling from treating your face to a new exfoliant, journaling for self growth, skipping your plans to slip into those new silk jammies you bought, or reading a romance novel while enjoying a a glass of red wine, there’s no wrong way to do it.
Which means there's no wrong way to gift it for the holidays, either. After all, everyone could use a heaping load of hygge these days, especially when you're spending more time than ever at home during the approaching winter months. Those long, cold winter nights won't seem so bad when you're snuggled under the weight of a delightful down duvet.
So, check out the 18 best hygge gift ideas that basically guarantee a happy hibernation going All. Winter. Long.
1. Softies Ultra Soft Marshmallow Hooded Lounger
These marshmallow-soft pajamas—or as I like to call 'em, Self-Care Sunday Style—made Oprah's Favorite Things List. And is she ever wrong about, well, anything? Short answer: nope. And let's be real, if it's good enough for Oprah, it's good enough for you.
2. Smoko Toasty Heatable Plushie
Netflix and chill? More like Hulu and snuggle. Curl up with your new partner in potato-couching crime—this adorbs plush companion—and let the internal microwavable pouch warm you and fill the air with a soothing lavender scent. Also available in a heart and sloth, because: options.
3. Fizz & Bubble Donut Bath Bombs
These pastry-inspired bath bombs will make a relaxing soak—while reading a book or watching your favorite TV show, natch—even sweeter (pun totally intended). If the fruity and floral scent isn't enough to convince you, then maybe the fact that they're dipped in ultra-moisturizing shea butter will. Donut try to do hygge without 'em.
4. Long Sleeve Button-Down Pajama Lounger Set
File this under "necessary." Not just crazy comfortable but crazy cute, these bamboo jammies put all of your old college shirts, baggy sweats, and beat-up boxer shorts to shame. They're fitted enough so you don't get lost underneath all that fabric (ahem, your ex-boyfriend's XL frat tee), while still slightly stretchy so you're free of any annoying bunching.
5. Buttah Skin Vibe Brush
Pro tip: Unwind on a Friday night by giving your skin the love it (desperately) needs. How? By cleansing your face with this super luxurious and vibrating Buttah Skin face brush. It'll gently exfoliate away dead skin while also cleansing your pores of any dirt buildup. Most importantly, though, it'll feel ah-mazing on your skin after a long AF work week. You're welcome.
6. Ugg Fluff Yeah Slide Slipper
Say what you want about Uggs—okay, fiiiine, they are basic AF—but you can't deny the simple pleasure that is slipping into these incredibly cozy bad boys. Slippers? Umm, more like little clouds for your feet. You will be living in these all winter.
7. Self-Care Box
Sometimes you just need all of your hygge essentials handed to you, and that's what you'll get with this self-care box with everything you need to wind down, feel cozy, and recharge your mind. It includes handmade items like a big bottle of lavender lotion, bath soak, tea, and more. Even better? You can include a cute message sending your pal even more love.
8. Bamboo Bathtub Caddy
Given that you’ll want to spend most of your waking hours languishing in a warm bath once the temps dip below 50, you might as well squeeze in some productive reading time (and, let's be real, wine-drinking time). With extendable arms, this caddy's guaranteed to fit any size tub. So, go ahead, light that candle...and bliss the eff out.
9. Bodum Brazil French Press Coffee and Tea Maker
Warming up starts with a hot drink. But venturing outside in those icy temps to stand in line at Starbucks? No. Thank. You. Rather than spend all that money on store-bought brew, put it to good use by buying this simple and sleek java machine.
Just because hygge often conjures images of being horizontal by a fire doesn't mean you always have to be lounging. It's all about doing what makes you feel cozy and recharged. So if playing barista is your preferred me-time, start savoring those homemade sips.
10. Chunky Arm Knit Blanket DIY Kit
