10 gift ideas for the wellness obsessed (that they’ll actually like)
Self-care meets seriously good gifting, with a little help from Argos
From family members who are determined to make weekly yoga a lifestyle, to friends who stay on top of the latest skincare trends, buying gifts for beauty or wellness aficionados can be both fun and challenging around this time of year.
Knowing what they love is one thing, knowing how to tap into this love and find presents that complement their passions is another. However, if you know where to look, you can nail gifting like a pro and earn a spot on all the nice lists. Our choice of destination for everything from soothing hydrofacial tools to handbag-ready mascaras? Argos.
That’s right, the high-street retailer is home to products that will surprise and delight even the most on-trend glow-getters in your life. And the best part is that the range of options available means you can find something that fits your budget and still feels perfect.
To bring you some inspo, we’ve put together a curated gift guide in partnership with Argos that caters to skinthusiasts, self-care specialists and general wellness fans.
Happy shopping!
Whether your giftee has a regular facialist or just dabbles in exfoliating treatments once in a while, they'll appreciate the gift of a glow in the form of this innovative tool. Combining specialised formulas with suction technology, the FacialPro works to extract impurities and leave skin radiant and hydrated, while the DePuffi attachment uses contrast therapy to soothe the surface – in other words, they'll get an at-home facial with just a few handy tools.
Salon-worthy results from the comfort of home? That’s exactly what you’ll be delivering courtesy of the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler. A prime pick for that person on your list who’s always rocking a cool hairstyle and could do with streamlining their many tools into one super-handy device. Note, also the sleek storage box that feels a bit like a gift box in itself!
Whether they’re a seasoned yogi or beginner looking to bring some balance into their life, your giftee is sure to appreciate this practical set. After all, few things say ‘I see you and I support your wellness journey’ better than an eye-catching non-slip mat, lightweight block and resistance band trio.
Give their already glowy skin an extra boost with this delightful duo from L’Oréal Paris. Proving that some of the best things really do come in smaller packages, this set delivers radiance to their existing routine while also giving them the chance to try new products without overloading their current beauty stash.
Smart tech made chic – that’s exactly what we’d put on the gift label next to the Oura Ring 4. Making sure your favourite fitness aficionado stays on top of all things health without compromising their aesthetic, it’s programmed to measure your heart rate, track your sleep and even, if you want to, monitor the stages of your cycle. We’d go as far as saying this biometric-measuring ring is the next big thing in smart accessories.
This one is a real treat – so good in fact, we wouldn’t blame you for eyeing it up for yourself. The Sensse Elite 8 face mask allows its user to enjoy professional-grade skincare without leaving the house. That’s right – conscious beauty buffs can soothe, hydrate and calm the skin using high-intensity LED energy all while sitting back and listening to their favourite playlist or podcast. Bliss.
If you ask us, there’s not enough said about the power of a good diffuser in switching up the ambience of a space. IYKYK. Designed to look charming atop a coffee table while filling the air with relaxing mists, the Habitat Electric Diffuser is the perfect way to say ‘I know this is your safe space and I want to complement the atmosphere you’ve created.’ Trust us, they’ll get it.
You know that one friend who blocks out a self-care session to physically and mentally reset? This gift is for them. Showing that you care about the rituals and routines that they treasure, the Lumea hair removal device from Philips is about to take their everything shower to a whole new level by bringing speed and ease to the shaving portion of their routine.
An ideal choice for the friend who likes to leave a lasting impression, this floral scent promises to linger in the air long after the first spritz. Housed in a fanciful, gift-bag-ready bottle that’ll look equally great on their dressing table, the Marc Jacobs Perfect fragrance – featuring notes of rhubarb, daffodil and mellow cedarwood – is just as the name suggests.
The skincare hero they didn’t know they needed, Therabody's TheraFace Depuffing wand is so much more than another piece of skin tech – it’s the throw-in-your-bag answer to late nights and early mornings. Got some jet-setters in your life who go from car to train to plane like it’s a sport? Treat them to the wand and help them wave goodbye to jet lag.
