Best Inexpensive Self Care Gifts For Women
#1: Shower Steamers
I recently discovered shower steamers and I am IN LOVE!
They’re so simple to use and smell absolutely incredible. Talk about leveling up your shower experience!
A hot shower is an essential part of my self-care routine and I simply adore anything lavender-scented.
Lavender is a scent that’s known for reducing anxiety and encouraging relaxation, which makes these shower steamers from Amazon perfect for any reset routine!
#2: Jade Face Roller
Face rollers are super trendy right now, and for good reason.
If you're not surer what a face roller is, basically, you pop one of these in the fridge or freezer overnight and roll it on your face in the morning.
It helps keep your skin firm, is super aesthetically pleasing, the coolness feels amazing on your skin!
It’s a super refreshing way to wake up and I'd also highly recommend one of these to anyone with frequent headaches like myself!
For me, a cold compress and forehead massage really help with head pain, and this jade roller is both in one.
#3: Light Up Multi-Panel Mirror
If skincare is part of your self-care routine, you’ll need an awesome light-up mirror like this one.
These lights are especially convenient if your vanity or get-ready station isn’t near a mirror or in a dark little corner like mine!
With no natural sunlight to help you see what you need to, having a light-up mirror like this one is so handy.
Plus, you can easily bend the panels to position them exactly how you need to.
For detail-oriented tasks like plucking your eyebrows or even using a face mask, something like this really helps you see what you’re doing.
#4: Spa Headband
Spa headbands like these are a self-care must have!
Whether you’re cleaning, doing skincare, getting ready, or just chilling, having your hair out of your face helps a ton.
And these ones from Amazon are adorable and super comfortable!
They’re especially convenient for when you’re washing your face because they’ll keep your hair nice and dry.
#5: Anything Burt's Bees
Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge Burt’s Bees fan.
Their lip balm is my lip balm of choice because it’s smooth, long-lasting, and smells fresh!
Some lip balms are cakey, sticky, or need to be reapplied constantly, but not Burt’s Bees!
This little self-care set of different Burt's Bees products is perfect for anyone else who loves their products and makes for a super thoughtful gift.

#6: Mario Badescu Face Mist
Mom, if you’re reading this - thank you!
My mom is the one who got me onto these Mario Badescu facial mists and I’m so glad she introduced me to these.
A couple of sprays as part of my morning routine and a couple around midday leave my skin feeling soft, refreshed, and smelling amazing.
I even keep one in my bag ready for whenever I’m out and need a little refresher!
Mario Badescu is another brand I love, so if you like their facial mist you’ll love their other stuff, like their lip balm and moisturizers, too!
#7: Self-Care Planner
This planner is my top recommendation for anyone who wants to incorporate self-care into their regular routines but has trouble staying on track.
Not only is this planner super aesthetically pleasing but I absolutely adore the fact that it’s a self-care planner, gratitude journal, to-do list, and habit tracker all in one.
Talk about convenience!
Choose from three beautiful color options: blush, rose, and sage green, and from two layouts: weekly or daily.
I love the option of two layouts because everyone’s self-care routine is going to look different and self-care is definitely not one size fits all.
Some people might like a daily check-in while for others, once a week is plenty!

#8: Essential Oils
Here’s another self-care essential for fans of anything lavender-scented.
I’m absolutely obsessed with anything scented in general, but I love essential oils because they last longer and are less expensive than candles.
Like I mentioned before, lavender is known for being one of those most relaxing scents, which makes it perfect for a day of me-time.
#9: At-Home Manicure Set
Talk about convenience!
I love this little manicure set from Amazon that has everything you need to make your nails look amazing all in one pretty gold cade. Trimmers, clippers, scissors, tweezers - it’s all here.
I love how small, compact, and portable this is, too. I love keeping one in my bag when I’m out for any nail emergencies that come up.
#10: Self Care Gift Box
The next self care idea is to treat yourself to a self care gift set!
I absolutely love these because they’re always so aesthetically pleasing and beautifully packaged, which makes them so fun to open.
They also make for a super easy gift that’s still super thoughtful!
You can find these in so many different colors and themes, so whether it’s for a friend, your mom, sister, aunt, coworker, or whoever, you’re sure to find the perfect gift box for them.
#11: Mental Health Affirmation Cards
Next in my list of self care gifts for women are these beautifully designed affirmation cards I’ve seen all over Pinterest lately!
One of my favorite ways to use these is to pull a new one out every day and spend some time reflecting on it or journaling about it.
These also make for an incredibly thoughtful gift for someone needing a little more self-love and confidence in their life.
You can find so many different variations to choose from.
Some cards are more affirmation-centered, with a positive saying or quote on each card. Some are more prompt-based, which you can use for journaling, mediation, and reflecting in whatever way you’d like!
#12: A Journal
Hopefully, those prompts and affirmation cards got you feeling inspired to do some journaling.
For that, I found these beautiful wellness journals from Papier.
The colorful gradient design is beautiful and calming, and I find that beautifully designed journals make me feel more excited and motivated to write in them!
#13: Skin Hydration Essentials
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Elf!
This is one of those beauty brands that’s both affordable and made with fantastic quality.
I use Elf products in my daily makeup and skincare routines, so when I found this whole set on Amazon, I was super excited!
I love how everything matches so nicely (I’m a sucker for beautiful packaging), and everything is small which makes it perfect for traveling and being on the go.
This set is all based around hydration too, so if you live somewhere dry or super cold like me, it’s even more perfect.
#14: Exfoliating Glove
To help apply that body scrub, body butter, or other exfoliating product, I found these fantastic exfoliating gloves on Amazon that are sure to make the job easier, faster, and more effective.
These are meant to help spread your product better and more thoroughly than if you were just using your hands, so for me, they’re a must whenever I’m practicing some self-care.
#15: Bath Pillow
Baths are super relaxing, and sometimes you just want to relax for a while with a good nap or lust lay down and watch a movie, or read a good book in the bath.
Sadly, bathtubs aren’t exactly built to be comfortable, especially when it comes to places to rest your neck and head.
Thankfully, I found this AMAZING bath pillow on Amazon! This is a surefire way to level up your bath experience and make it even more relaxing than it already was.
#16: Fuzzy Socks
A pair of thick, cozy socks is a classic gift for a reason! This is something everyone can use and everyone needs in their life, regardless of age.

Candles are such a classic! These make great gifts for women who love a cozy atmosphere in their home, along with a fresh smelling space. Level up your gift by adding some candle accessories like wick trimmers or candle warmers.

For the bath lover, there’s no gift more perfect than a bath tray. With this, she can enjoy the relaxing bath of her dreams and have all her essentials on hand. This tray has plenty of useful nooks and compartments for holding drinks, plates, electronics, eating utensils, self care tools, and more.
