Comforting and Relaxing Gifts for Anxious People

Gifts for anxious people are not all that hard to find.

Any present that is relaxing or pampering is appreciated.

This post is sponsored by Aera on behalf of Review Wire Media, contains affiliate links, and some products were received for review.

Comforting and Relaxing Gifts for Anxious People

Even people who aren’t necessarily anxious, but just stressed with adulting and life in general can benefit from most of these products.

If you are on the hunt for the perfect gift for an anxious person, take a gander at these suggestions.

As most of our readers know, I have chronic issues with anxiety.

It’s part of the bundle package of mental health challenges that I possess.

While you see my sister off traveling and bumping elbows with celebs, I’m trying to not faint when I go to my corner CVS.

Needless to say, I’d consider any one of these items to be a blessing as a present.

I surround myself in eucalyptus when I am extra anxious.

If you haven’t explored CBD as an option, I encourage you to do so.

I haven’t tried a weighted blanket yet, but I’ve heard nothing but great things.

The weight of the blanket is supposed to feel like a hug.

They are a little pricey, but what’s more important than your health?

I plan to try one soon, and I’ll be sure to report back.

Update: I did try a weighted blanket. <– click for the full post.

Relaxing Items

Anxious people need to find what works for them as far as relaxing hobbies go.

For me, they change depending on my mood.

Sometimes my racing thoughts require something mind-numbing like watching TV or getting lost in a book.

I would like to burrow into my bed and be surrounded by darkness. Some days even the smallest noises feel like a full body assault.

There are products to help shield anxious people from noises that other people may not even notice.

Distracting Gifts

This also depends on the person.

I keep my mind extremely busy with work.

Sometimes a good book helps, or binge watching a show on a streaming service.

Gift subscriptions to Kindle Unlimited, Netflix, Amazon Videos, or Hulu are a great choice.

Some people may play video games to keep their mind focused.

It helps if you know what the person’s hobbies are.

Seriously, it has to be this one only. No substitutions.

Anything that alleviates tension.

Nervous people tend to flex their muscles without even realizing it.

My default state is basically doing isometrics.

    I have OCD and anxiety and this is a great list of things I would love to have. The jellyfish tank is awesome! I think it would be so relaxing to watch.

      Sorry to hear that — that’s not a fun combo! I agree though, I think that jellyfish tank needs to be on my desk. 😉

    These are such great ideas! I have a friend with severe anxiety, and things that cause her to have to really engage her brain are a big help to her.

    I want that jellyfish for my office. These are some great ideas. My sister suffers from anxiety and I have a few ideas for her now.

    This is a great list to keep in mind for those that have anxiety as well as others that are hard to buy for.

    What a great selection. My daughter wants a lava lamp for Christmas. I have never seen jellyfish ones, she would love this!
