Say what you will about Valentine's Day, but who doesn't like to be spoiled by the ones they love? Sure, receiving is nice, but we also believe that doing sweet things for others—whether it's baking a special treat, creating an adorable card to surprise friends (especially ones you haven't seen in a long while), or buying that certain someone a cool new gift that they wouldn't splurge on themselves—not only helps us to be happier, but it also encourages those around us to spread the love, too. That's why we put together a guide of pampering gifts perfect for the woman in your life.

Why did we choose pampering must-haves? In our hyper plugged-in, social-media fueled, pandemic-ridden world, one of the most coveted treats is some quiet and peace of mind—and after such a stressful year, some peace is so needed. It may be a word we hear plenty, but self-care truly is more relevant now than ever before, and there's so much more to the idea of taking a little time to focus on yourself than all the hype might suggest. In fact, research says that carving out time to do things for yourself—like curling up with a good book, signing up for a virtual yoga class, or indulging in a face mask—is the key to being happier, healthier individuals. Sometimes our busy and permanently stressed-out loved ones need a little push to do the things that would make them feel good, too.

This Valentine's Day, encourage your significant other, best friend, or mom to try some healing rituals. Each of these self-care essentials will help her do just that. From relaxing aromatherapy oils to the sweetest nap dress, these easy-to-fall-in-love-with options will keep her feeling rejuvenated, and dare we say, more centered. And in these frenetic times can you think of a more thoughtful way to say "I care" than that?
