7 gifts for people who are always tired
We’ve all got that friend whose schedule is jam-packed. So instead of adding to the chaos with another date in the diary or hobby-related gift, why not treat them to a little something to help them unwind - or simply to survive the mayhem!
From candles to coffee kits, here are some thoughtful ideas they’ll secretly (or not so secretly) love…
1. A ‘cosy night in’ bundle
It’s always tempting to do a night out, but a night in might be what they actually need. Why not treat them to a blanket you can snuggle up under, a candle, and a card game for a digital detox - it’s the perfect way to switch off and reset for the week.
Gold tone scented candle bowl, £19.95
Ultra soft woven blanket, £39.95
Scalloped coupe cocktail glasses, £14.95
2. An alarm clock
It might not be their schedule that’s the problem, but their sleep! While an alarm clock could seem a bit of an odd present, you’re giving the gift of no phones at night - which is vital for a good night’s kip. If they’re always on the move, an eye mask might be what they need to get those zzzs in!
3. A coffee kit
If they’re surviving on empty, there’s only one thing that will help in the short-term: coffee. Make it a thoughtful gift with their new favourite mug (they just don’t know it yet), a golden scoop and their favourite brand of coffee. You can even use it as an excuse to have a hard-earned cuppa together!
4. A self-care kit
What better way to relax and unwind than with a bit of love and self care. Treat them to a goody bag filled with all their favourite treats - essential oils, face masks, even a small candle.
A great gift for someone who needs to slow things down - and an even better one if you’ve hand picked it yourself!
Anushka quilted wash bag, £14.95. Matching makeup bag £9.95
5. A journal
If they’re as stressed as they are tired, then a journal might be the best thing for them. Give your friend the excuse they need to step back and de-stress - it might not be an obvious gift, but the best ones often aren’t.
Pair it with a pen for the finishing touch!
Green & aqua A6 notebooks, £2.95
6. Worry Dolls
A worry doll is a great ‘random’ gift, at only £1.50, for anyone feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed. Simply place it under your pillow at night and, so the mythology goes, they’ll chase away your worries through the night - often helping those who least expect it to sleep better.
7. Shower them with love
It doesn’t have to be something to tackle their tiredness head on - anything to show you care and you’re there for them will do the trick. They might just need a hug!
