The Best Gifts for the Perpetually-Stressed Person in Your Life

6 minute read

Many of us travel to escape the busy hum of daily life: to-do lists, overflowing inboxes, and near-constant push notifications. But retreating to cozy spaces for relaxation and self-care is a must on the regular, not just every few months.

In the spirit of the staycation, these gift ideas will infuse a little bit of leisure into the everyday. We’ve curated a selection of gifts for those who appreciate the true essence of hygge. Think fireside cocktails, slouchy sweaters, comfort cooking, and indulgent skincare regimens.

After all, ‘tis the season for wrapping up in an ultra-soft blanket, cozying into a plush couch with a hot cup of cocoa, and kicking back to enjoy the fine art of doing nothing.

This year at Travel + Leisure, we’ve put together our most comprehensive gift guide ever. The goal: to make sure you can find the perfect present for everyone on your list — from the Disney-obsessed to the distant coworker whose name you pulled in the office gift exchange. Below, our top picks for the leisure lover.
