A weighted blanket contains materials such as poly pellets or glass beads. Heavier than typical blankets, weighted blankets apply even pressure across the body. This pressure—akin to the feeling of being gently hugged—helps to promote relaxation and a sense of security. Weave’s weighted blanket features evenly-distributed glass microbeads that are non-toxic. The blanket is also hypoallergenic and made with a breathable fabric that is machine and dryer-safe.

4. Silk sheets

Inject a breath of fresh air into the room with a touch of greenery. Besides their ability to add a sense of peace and tranquility into a space, some houseplants also double as a natural air purifier that clears toxins in the air. Snake plants and peace lilies make for great gifts—for an extra chic touch, throw in a stylish plant pot that will add a decorative flair to the room.
