Gifts of Comfort

Gift Ideas For Those Who Are Struggling

If you know someone struggling, nothing says you care about them more than a gift for their mental, physical, and spiritual health.

No one knows that more than Alisa, who has found comfort during her grief with gifts for serenity, warmth, meditation, and positive reflection. Now, she hopes others will find the same comfort in giving and receiving the following gifts.

Weighted Blanked

Weighted blankets are a great choice because they can make you feel both mentally and physically comforted. In addition, weighted blankets put your autonomic nervous system into “rest” mode and can provide an overall sense of calmness.

Comforting Technology

While there are many obvious perks to home devices, have you ever thought about how they can impact your well-being? For example, smart devices or Wi-Fi picture frames are the perfect gifts for someone who may live alone or far away from family. They can make daily tasks easy and help communicate with your loved ones to feel closer and comforted.

Thoughtful Books

Books are always an excellent choice for meaningful gifts. There are many books out there that attempt to make sense of your experience while positively altering your train of thought. Here are a few books that we highly recommend:

“Hope 365: Daily Meditations for the Grieving Heart” by Clara Hinton
“Option B” by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant
“Awaken The Spirit Within” by Rebecca Rosen
“Change Your Thoughts-Change your Life” by Dr. Wayne Dyer
“A Return to Love” by Marianne Williamson
“Forgiving the Unforgivable” by Craig Stone
“To Heaven and Back” by Mary C. Neal, M.D.

Books can make those who are going through trauma see that others have experienced similar struggles and can relate.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy, like essential oils, diffusers, or incense, is a great gift idea for those who may be going through trauma. These are always a great gift pick because you can mix and match different types of aromatherapy products and get a range of benefits like improved sleep, pain management, and a healthier mental state.

Serenity Lamps & Noise-Canceling Headphones

As well as being perfect for everyday unwinding, serenity lamps used in conjunction with noise-canceling headphones carry a lot of benefits to those who may be recovering from trauma. Serenity lamps ease the tension before bed, encouraging you to relax more and sleep deeper. Noise canceling headphones are a great pair with this as they reduce unwanted ambient sounds using active noise control. If you know someone who is struggling with their sleep, this may be a gift that helps.
