Gift Ideas for the Friend Who Deserves to Unwind

Written by BeddingStyle

Everyone knows at least one workaholic—you may even be addicted to work yourself! As much as work can be rewarding, we all know how important it is to relax after a long day or week. If you’ve decided to get a gift for that special workaholic in your life, it may be hard to know where to start. Here are some gift ideas that will brighten a workaholic’s day, week, or month with the promise of excellent relaxation.

Fragrances

Sometimes freshening up a room can go a long way towards relaxation; a stale room is your enemy! Pull aside drapes, open up windows, and let some natural air in. Once the air is cleared, it’s time to introduce some fragrances. Scented candles are an obvious choice, and are perfect for filling spaces with strong or subtle fragrances. Reed diffusers are also excellent for freshening up small spaces—see what happens when you put one in a bathroom. Don’t ignore sachet tassels, whose warm scents come in beautiful packaging.

To Wear at Home

It’s possible you know someone that wears their work clothing right up until they go to bed. Please, don’t let them do this—it’s much easier to relax when wearing clothing designed with comfort as the primary principle. Look into silk, cotton, or plush robes, whose soft material keeps the wearer warm, relaxed, and unrestricted. Also worth looking into are hand cozies and foot cozies, which use hot/cold therapy to relax joints and soothe the wearer even after they’re removed. A pair of spa slippers is likewise perfect for warming feet, especially in the cold and stressful winter months. An extra plush blanket never hurt anyone, either.

Getting Rested

The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults between the ages of 26 and 64 get an average of 7-9 hours of sleep every night. Workaholics know, however, that regularly getting this number isn’t always possible, even despite their best intentions. Knowing someone else doesn’t get enough sleep can be tiring for even yourself, and you may be wondering how you can subtly help him or her get the sleep he or she deserves. You can make sleep more comfortable by buying them a new comforter or bedding set.

There are a number of reasonable gift options for those workaholics that could use a few additional hours of shut-eye each week. If he or she from frequent migraines, or is prone to minor injuries such as sprained ankles, or simply needs help alleviating stress, there are a variety of head, shoulder, neck, and body wraps that use hot/cold therapy to alleviate aches and pains. When aches and pains are soothed, it becomes much easier to fall and to remain asleep until the alarm rings the next morning. Many wraps even contain pleasant fragrances such as eucalyptus and cinnamon to keep the user relaxed. Sleep masks are also helpful for those who are easily distracted by the late-night glow of electronics or the early morning rays of sun. If an overabundance of morning sunlight proves a source of sleep problems, you might consider purchasing darkly colored drapes, which, when pulled across windows at night, help keep out the aggravating rays of sun the following morning (note: it’s recommended that you consult the workaholic before buying dramatic home furnishings).

Let Loose

Now that you have a variety of options before you, let loose! Hopefully your workaholic will be thanking you for weeks to come.
