Recently we released a blog post about embracing hygge that offers tips for bringing more coziness and warmth into your life during this winter season. If you haven’t read the post, hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a Danish term used to describe a feeling and way of living that emphasizes coziness, warmth, and togetherness. With the holidays quickly approaching, you can give the gift of cozy to your loved ones by shopping this hygge gift guide.
Looking to give the gift of cozy this holiday season? Here are our suggestions for hyggelig gifts for your loved ones:
1
A scented candle
Fill your space with warm and cozy smells like this blackberry absynthe candle, which is my personal favorite. Scented candles are great for creating a relaxing atmosphere and adding a touch of mindfulness to your space.
2
A himalayan salt lamp.
Himalayan salt lamps like this one are known to emit negative ions, which counteract positive ions that can accumulate from dust, bacteria, or even blue light from technology. Some people even claim that Himalayan salt lamps have additional benefits like the ability to improve our mood, sleep, and breathing. There is limited scientific research available to confirm these claims, but regardless of that, these lamps will add a beautiful warm glow to any room!
3
A blanket.
This plaid blanket will keep you warm and cozy during those cold, winter nights. Soft, warm blankets are perfect for enhancing relaxation and creating a sense of security.
4
Air purifying plants.
The following plants are all NASA-approved plants for air purification: snake plant, spider plant, aloe vera, areca palm, dragon tree, weeping fig, Chinese evergreen, and rubber plant. These plants are multifunctional because they purify the air and add some beautiful foliage to your living space. As a bonus, most of these plants are relatively low-maintenance and easy to care for, supporting both physical and emotional wellness.
5
An aromatherapy diffuser.
Aromatherapy diffusers like this one are used with essential oils that provide specific therapeutic benefits depending on the essential oil used. Scents that can help with relaxation and stress reduction are bergamot, eucalyptus, geranium, lavender, jasmine, marjoram, vetiver, or ylang-ylang. Essential oils can be a wonderful addition to your mindfulness and self-care routine.
