Warm Reebok fleece sweatshirt

Soft, as if made of plush, Reebok Classics Winter Escape sweatshirt will help to create the atmosphere of a cozy winter evening. You’ll want to sit by the fireplace with a book and a cup of hot cocoa, or wrap yourself in a blanket and re-watch Home Alone or The Irony of Fate for the umpteenth time.

The loose fit does not constrain movements, warm fleece warms not only the body, but also the soul. A zipper to the middle of the chest allows you to easily take off and put on the jacket.

Scented candles

If your New Year’s Eve mood is still a little low, scented candles can help lift it. The smells of cinnamon, apple pie, and popcorn will set the right tone not only for the holiday, but for any winter evening.

Place candles on the table and turn an ordinary dinner into a more romantic one. Or light a few candles in the bath and have a home aromatherapy and spa experience.

Essential bathrobe

What could be more pleasant than wrapping up in a soft terrycloth towel after a hot bath? We know – wrapping up in a soft terry robe! The inside is lined with a body-pleasing lining and the outside is waffle fabric, a true classic. The neutral pastel color doesn’t catch the eye and also sets you up for relaxation.

The robe is made of one hundred percent cotton and will definitely suit those who prefer natural fabrics.

“The Art of Soul Care,” Shunmyo Masuno

If you’re like many people who put off finding peace of mind for a mystical “later,” this book will help you get started in the here and now. Shunmyo Masuno, abbot of a 450-year-old Zen Buddhist temple in Japan, shares a hundred simple truths.

You don’t have to go on long-distance pilgrimages to achieve harmony with the world and yourself. You can catch zen while quietly enjoying a cup of coffee or strolling barefoot on the grass.

Costa Coffee

A cup of flavored Costa Coffee is not only a great way to start the day, but also a great way to end it. Sometimes it’s not the drink itself, but the atmosphere and the ritual. An invigorating espresso shot in the morning or a spicy warming latte in the evening will help to create the right mood: to energize in the first case and relax in the second.

Sleep Mask

A sleep mask can help you fall asleep quickly, even if the lights from the holiday lights illuminate the entire room. Besides, it’s a stylish and useful accessory in itself. As a gift you can choose any: elegant silk for lovers of classics or soft and funny with a print from your favorite cartoon.

“Tenderly Toward Yourself”, Olga Primachenko

In the fast-paced rhythm of life in the big city, there is often not enough time to stop and think about yourself. And imposed from everywhere standards – career, beauty, life in general – do not give a quiet sigh.

This book-meditation will help you better understand your own feelings, realize and accept their importance and stop striving for a non-existent ideal.

Fitness club subscription

Don’t be surprised, sports are not necessarily about overcoming yourself and working to exhaustion. A measured yoga or even jogging at a comfortable pace is a great way to relax and at least for a while distract yourself from pressing problems.

In addition, in many modern fitness clubs you can go to the sauna or hammam, get a massage and even spa procedures. So a season ticket, for example, in Crocus Fitness will be a great gift both for avid zoogeeks and for those who are just about to take this path.
