Whether it's a treat for yourself or a gift for someone else, a wellbeing hamper is always deserved. Wellbeing hampers are a particularly thoughtful wellbeing gift for the friend who's always looking out for others, always finds themselves busy or hasn't been feeling themselves lately. Some of us need a little support with our wellbeing - and that's OK.

Maybe it's you who needs some deep relaxation after a stressful week and you're just wanting to indulge in some self-care. Either way, our selection of the best wellbeing gifts will have you, or your friend, feeling brand new in no time. It's one way for them to reconnect with themselves, slow down and allow themselves to unwind.

Designed to remind the recipient to take a moment for themselves, a wellbeing hamper or wellbeing box, is a way to show your appreciation for someone special. A wellbeing hamper can often contain self-care products like beauty, bath or bed products so that the recipient in question can truly treat themselves to some much-needed downtime.

While you can buy hampers that come ready to gift, you can make your own so that you can customise it to them. You could even include a wellbeing book for them to explore. Or, perhaps, a guardian angel gift to offer them some love and protection. Below, we've put together a list of the best wellbeing hampers, as well as some advice for crafting your own.

FAQs

How do I make my own wellbeing hamper?

If you're looking to create your own wellbeing hamper as a gift for a loved one, there are many ways you can do this. Nothing says you care like an original and personalised gift hamper. Here are some of our suggestions for crafting your very own wellbeing hamper.

Step one) Choose the type of basket to centre your hamper around. Most commonly used are picnic baskets, crates and wicker trays. Although, don't forget to account for the size, too.

Step two) Consider gifts that will help them to relax. Often, these will include aromatherapy, sleep products, bath products, skincare, candles or even a selection of tea.

Step three) Fill your hamper with a material of choice, like dried wood wool or tissue paper. Additionally, you can add some decoration with the likes of ribbons and gift tags if you wish.

There are also many online services where you can create your own hampers, choosing the type of basket, its contents and adding personalisation for an extra special touch.

What should I put in wellbeing hamper?

As these hampers are designed for them to unwind, carefully consider items that would help them to achieve a state of relaxation. How do they relax after a long day? What do they enjoy? What might they need more of?

If they love nothing more than a cup of tea, a selection of camomile tea would do wonders. Perhaps they enjoy applying a face mask and having a moment in the bath, if this is the case, bath and beauty products are the way to go. If they're struggling with sleep at the moment, a thoughtful hamper full of essential oils or sleep masks might work for them.
