Are you looking for a fabulous self-care gift? Maybe you’re shopping for Easter, Mother’s Day or another occasion? Look no further! I have the perfect gift for those occasions, or if you simply want to send someone close to you some postbox TLC.
Opening the gift
I was so excited when I received the package in the post. The box was small and compact and if I received this as an unexpected gift, I would be so excited to open it and find out what was hiding inside. I love the idea of this gift, simply because it works. On my mental health blog, I talk about how vital self-care was when recovering from my breakdown last year. And how positive thinking does work.

A little bit about Cotton & Grey
Our Twenty Minute Candles came about when we put together a small box of beeswax candles and handwritten affirmation cards for a close friend who was struggling in lockdown, to help her relax and restore her well-being… and she loved them!
We are now finalists in this year’s Gift of the Year.
Product description
Lose yourself for twenty minutes of restorative time by slowing down and living in the moment with our ‘Twenty Minute Candles’.
Pure beeswax, our candles burn cleanly with a gentle honey aroma aiding relaxation and mindfulness.
Why a gift like this can make a difference
Something as simple as lighting a candle would help me, following my breakdown. I’ve also adopted positive thinking and I am a huge fan of affirmation cards. Because telling ourselves positive things does work. Together with other factors which helped me recover, I now feel like a new person. As such, I place a huge value on items like this and spend some of our weekly budget buying self-care items.
A small gift like this can work wonders for someone struggling or brighten up their day.
I know some of you reading this are part of the mental health community on Twitter. A kind, supportive group of people and I constantly see posts about giving gifts to other people in the community. This gift would be perfect to raise someone’s spirits during a difficult time.
Some of you are also busy parents and mummies in desperate need of some TLC. Based on the fact I don’t get much time these days for self-care, I was excited to try these products when my little one was at nursery. A quick, easy solution. To feel relaxed in the small windows of time I get to myself.

Here’s what happened when I lit the candles
I combined these amazing, cute little candles with another self-care gift. I set the scene, had another read through my affirmations and said them out loud. In my current life situation, I need them. And I will be using them over the next few weeks when I hopefully have some big, exciting changes coming up in my life.
During the candle burning, I felt relaxed and restored.

It’s so cute, isn’t it?
What a lovely self-care gift! Being a mommy myself, I also value self-care items such as these. I make it a point to wind down and treat myself to an at-home facial with a glass of wine at the end of each week. It’s important to take care of yourself first. Cannot pour into others from an empty glass! Thank you for sharing.
