Editor’s Picks: 24 of the Best Self-Care Gifts (Because You’re Worth It)

Self-care gifts are the gifts that keep on giving.

After all, everyone can use a little more self-love—including you!

That might mean donning a sheet mask or taking a long hot soak in the tub (or ideally, both at the same time). Or it could be about getting more sleep, releasing stress or just having the chance to lounge around. 

Whatever "me time" looks like for you or your loved ones, here are 20+ gifts to inspire self-care:
