Anxiety Therapist Shares: Gift Ideas for People With Stress and Anxiety

Anxiety Therapist Shares: Gift Ideas for People With Stress and Anxiety

By: Lauran Hanh, LMHC

It’s that time again, it’s the season of giving! Your social calendar has started filling up with holiday parties, the holiday music is playing and you’ve started working on the list of gifts you need to buy. This year, I’m here to help you as I’ve brainstormed a list of gifts that you can gift your loved ones who may be struggling with anxiety and stress.

According to Healthline stress and anxiety symptoms include trouble sleeping, digestive issues, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. If your loved one struggles with anxiety or stress think about gifting them something that will bring them calmness, peace, and tranquility.

As an anxiety therapist in Orlando, I help people find more ease and relaxation in their everyday lives.

As a therapist at Mindful Living Counseling Orlando, finding peace when you’re stressed or anxious is not easy. The journey to being stress-free takes a lot of time and effort. So, I picked the following gifts in hopes that they will support your loved one on their journey to finding some relief.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and need help while you take on the chaos that comes with holiday shopping I have also written 21 Ways to Reduce Anxiety During the Holidays to offer you support.

Anxiety Gifts for Staying Home

As an anxiety and trauma therapist, I see a lot of clients who struggle with the fear of leaving their homes. Some of my clients prefer to stay in and enjoy quality time inside. The gifts on this list will help create a relaxing ambiance so your loved ones can unwind and de-stress.

Assortment of Stress and Anxiety Teas

Lavender Eye Pillows

Weighted Blanket

Essential oil and Diffuser

With the following items, you can help your loved one create a day at the spa but at home!

Anxiety Gifts Traveling

Your loved one may spend a lot of time on the road — whether it’s traveling for work or traveling for a vacation! They are deserving of a gift that they can use anywhere to find some calmness wherever they are. The gifts on this list are perfect for people who are constantly on the go.

Calm Subscription

Sound Machine

Insight Timer Subscription

Mandala Workbook

Ear Plugs

Headspace Membership

Noise Canceling Head Phones

Cozy Blanket

A book is also a great option to gift someone who is always on the road. In our blog, 5 Books We Recommend for You, we list some of our favorite books.

Anxiety Gifts for Self-Care

Gift certificates are one of my favorite gifts to give during the holiday season! I love gifting a loved one a special experience for them to enjoy. A gift certificate will also allow your friend or loved one to have the freedom to decide when they want to use it. This list includes some of my favorite places to visit in Orlando when I need self-care and gift certificate ideas for activities I love when I want to unwind.

Gift Certificate Pottery Painting Class

  • A pottery class is a great way to unwind and relax. By gifting a gift certificate to a pottery class you're giving your loved one an opportunity to enjoy a relaxing atmosphere and learn a new art.

Gift Certificate for Acupuncture

  • One of my favorite self-care activities is acupuncture. Acupuncture addresses anxiety, stress, and depression and helps to heal the root cause and onset of anxiety. If you live in Orlando, I highly recommend visiting Cortney Singleton at The Salt Room.

Gift certificate for Float Tank

  • A float tank is also called a sensory deprivation tank and it is a large 8' x 6' tub of water filled with Epsom salt. This unique experience will allow your brain to go into deep states of relaxation and meditative calm. This is a perfect activity for your friend or loved one who needs to relax.

Hair Salon Gift Certificate

Yoga Studio Gift Certificate

  • If you’re located in the Orlando area we recommend Orlando Power Yoga. This studio is a fantastic place to unwind and relax with the various calming yoga classes they offer. You can read more about why we love Orlando Power Yoga in our blog Orlando Self-Care Spotlight.
