Say what you will about Valentine's Day, but who doesn't love a sweet, thoughtful gift? Sure, receiving them is great, but we also believe in doing nice things for yourself—whether that's baking your favorite treat or finally splurging on the necklace you can't get out of your head.
It may be a term we hear plenty, but self-care truly is critical to your well-being: Research finds that carving out "me time"—like journaling, signing up for a yoga class, or getting a good night's sleep—is the key to being happier and healthier.
This Valentine's Day, stock up on a few essentials that will help you try some new-to-you healing rituals. From relaxing bubble bath formulas to a meditation candle, these presents will keep you present, rejuvenated, centered, and well.
Block Shop Hand Block Printed Linen Robe
Hopie Stockman, the founder of Block Shop, designs punchy, statement robes using 100 percent Belgian linen sourced from fifth-generation master printers in Jaipur.
