For the One Who Loves a Spa Day
Aromatherapy Diffuser
When I first encountered aromatherapy diffusers, I was a bit of a skeptic, but I was quickly converted. Having essential oils drift through a room, with the oil selected to match the mood, is one of the easiest relaxation hacks I’ve ever encountered. This one lasts for up to 7 hours when you fill it with water and a few drops of essential oil, and it has soft lighting for a stress-relieving glow. They can use it in their bedroom, living room or office to channel a more peaceful state of mind.

It’s a touching tribute to their creativity and your friendship.

For the Wellness-Loving Chocoholic
Chocolate Collection
Sometimes the basics are best, and that’s certainly the case with these Hu chocolate bars. They have a tiny list of ingredients and, as a result, a really spectacular creaminess and flavor. They make an ideal snack or can be great for those who love to bake (I’m a fan of chopping them up in pancakes or muffins). This pack of eight includes a mix of dark and milk chocolate options, many stuffed with nut butter.

For the Coffee Drinker
Driftaway Coffee
There are lots of fantastic coffee gifts out there, and this Driftaway coffee sampler is a strong addition to the lineup for friends who take their coffee seriously. What makes this extra fun is that the five bags they receive—which cover the gamut of different roast levels—don’t reveal what the beans are. Tasting cards accompany the box, but your friend can taste and explore new types of coffee without any preconceived expectations. The bags come in multiple sizes, the smallest with 2-ounce bags and the largest with 1-pound bags.
