Every year the question arises anew: What do I give as a gift for Christmas? The most beautiful gift of all is still time. But it’s such a thing with vouchers, on the one hand we gave away one or the other last year due to the pandemic – on the other hand, most of them are not redeemed anyway. One type of time that just about all of us can use these days is the one we take the least: time for ourselves.
In the fast-paced everyday life, we often try to fill the calendar with the meetings of our loved ones before we schedule a break for ourselves. Only the gaps are used for this – we need rest and relaxation in order to be able to really enjoy all other aspects of life. Who doesn’t know it: If you’re already stressed, even nice appointments become a to-do. However, if you rest in yourself, you can enjoy seeing family and friends again much more.
Relaxation as a gift – how does that work?
And since, as is well known, it is best to give something away that you never treat yourself to but really want, we thought about how we could give our fellow human beings a little time for themselves this year, i.e. the famous “Me-Time”. What is the best way for people to relax? That is very different. That’s why we tried to take different perspectives. If for some of us the weekly shopping means pure stress, an organic box can represent relaxation. Others, on the other hand, need rest and wellness for everything – a massage mat and foot bath should also be thought of for them. And still others relax best with a glass of wine with their best friend or while exercising. Don’t worry: everything is included.
The result is a collection of things that are good for our editors – and since we are all very different, we hope that you will find what you are looking for.
