3) Himilayan Pink Salt Diffuser with 10 Essential Oils

Price: $59
4) Godiva Chocolate Gold Gift Box
Everyone has their favorite comfort food, but chocolate offers more than just comfort. When eaten, it actually releases endorphins in the brain. The better the chocolate, the more endorphins are released.
Godiva is considered the gold standard, especially this box filled with 190 pieces. If that’s a little much, the 19-count box is a more prudent, but equally delicious choice.
Price: $199
5) Pregnancy Pillow
You don’t have to be an expecting parent to enjoy the untold levels of comfort a pregnancy pillow can bring. Whether used for sleeping or relaxing on the couch, your stress will melt away. A self-care gift that’s for everyone, not just those who are expecting.
