Lumie
Dash SAD Lamp
“Anyone who suffers from the winter blues will love Lumie’s SAD lamp offering. Exposure to morning sunlight is crucial for our mood, sleep and energy levels, and since many of us don’t get enough light in the winter months, recreating it is essential. I do my make-up in front of my Lumie every morning and it’s transformed my happiness levels in the cooler months – this new one is compact and chic. I can’t recommend it enough.”
Ross J. Barr
Bar Patches
“Five element acupuncturist, Ross Barr, looks after royalty, many a celebrity and a number of editors – and he uses these patches at the start of every appointment. Infused with a selection of calming herbs, pop them on your temples or pulse points to relieve the symptoms of anxiety, stress and brain fog. They’re the perfect stocking filler for anyone who leads a busy life.”

We all crave a little pampering every now and then, and it’s more than mere indulgence. Whether your self-care ritual involves wrapping up in tactile fabrics or massaging away muscle aches, studies suggest that good haptics have real power to alleviate stress. If you ask us, that’s all the more reason to consider cosy bedding, luxurious loungewear or massage tools for the wellness-lover on your list. Therabody’s portable, percussive massager is an excellent place to start – it both aids lymphatic drainage and eases tension – while Vie Healing’s gold seeds use acupressure points on the ear to induce calm. Whichever you go for, sensory delight is guaranteed.

To make your giftee’s home a haven of peace and tranquillity, consider the picks ahead. From mood lighting a la Lumie (whose SAD lamp emits daylight-mimicking watts proven to regulate your circadian rhythm) to sunset lamps that lull you into a deep and restful sleep, here find the gifts that promote wellbeing from the outside in. If they’re into aromatherapy, be sure to add Neom’s diffuser to cart – it deploys endless serotonin-boosting scents and soft, ambient light sure to spruce up their interiors.
There’s no better gift than a clean bill of health, and while supplements aren’t a cure-all, they can do your giftee a world of good. Contained in an alluring copper vessel, Lyma’s expert-formulated capsules work hard to improve inflammation and immunity – plus make for a gift that practically wraps itself. Elsewhere, picks from Artah and Oto leverage gold-standard ingredients for energy and better brain health, including Lion’s Mane and magnesium which both offer neuroprotective benefits. For glowing skin, growing hair and healthier joints, collagen supplements are a very good port of call – and Vida Glow’s sachets are a Vogue editor favourite for good reason. “They’re easy to use, pleasant to take, and a powerful aid for stronger hair, nails and skin,” says beauty and wellness shopping writer Tracy Achonwa.
Artah Cellular Hydration
“Hands down my favourite supplement, Artah’s Cellular Hydration is an electrolyte-packed powder that you add into water.” says beauty and wellness editor Hannah Coates. “As well as ensuring optimal hydration, the magnesium, vitamin C and inulin in the formula contribute to optimal nervous system function, cognitive performance, energy and mood. A spoonful or two a day also keeps afternoon hunger pangs at bay – obsessed doesn’t cut it.”
Thinking of giving a fitness gift? Tread carefully, lest your well-meaning gesture be misread as an unwelcome suggestion. If you’re certain your giftee is in the market for workout essentials, you’ve come to the right place. And if you’re not, fret not: our curation below spans several infallible finds. Beginners and fitness buffs alike are bound to appreciate new apparel for their rotation – especially when it’s the kind that marries comfort with function and style. Lulelemon’s cult zip-up, a New Era cap with the bandwidth to hold all kinds of hairstyles and Veja’s cloud-soled running shoes are all worthy of any gym wardrobe.
Home to stylish leather mats and Reformer-ready grip socks, stop by Alo Yoga for accessories that elevate their Pilates practice. And however they like to work up a sweat, they’ll love Larq’s sleek water bottles for quenching their thirst. Designed with clever filtration systems (you can choose between slot-in capsules or smart filtering straws) they upgrade the average water break, offering clean, cold and refreshing hydration.
Perfect for bringing moments of pause to the busybody on your list, this category is home to picks we’ve tested, loved and eagerly recommend. Most will know Oura as the wellness wearable for tracking sleep metrics – but complete with guided sessions and calming soundscapes, the ring’s meditation feature is a hidden gem. Meanwhile, breaking new ground in the neurocosmeceutical space is Sisley Laboratories offshoot Neurae. Targeting receptors associated with stress and low mood, its rollerball oil is more than just an olfactory delight: it’s a must-buy for the giftee who struggles to unwind. To escort wandering minds back to the present, consider a matcha making or zen-gardening set – whether whisking or raking, you’ll help your recipient discover a ritual of calm. And you can’t go wrong with an absorbing book, or a mindfulness journal. “There’s nothing quite like getting everything in your brain onto paper – and with weekly check-ins, Papier’s Wellness Journals make it easy,” says Vogue wellness editor Hannah Coates.
