Gift giving is an age-old way to show love and affection. When it comes to tangible gifts however, people can get repetitive in categorizing gifts with gender and what they think goes along with it. After years of buying gifts for someone, even if the person tends to enjoy typical gifts associated with a gender, you may need to mix it up! Gender neutral wellness gifts might just be the gift you’re looking for.

As adults, the variety of tangible gifts that folks like expands from fun & luxury items to more practical items. Gifts that encourage self-care can often be a blend between these. Some folks don’t have as much time or money to nourish themselves in ways that feel more luxurious. So buying an item that encourages enhancing their wellbeing can be an excellent gift! Of course, self-care is a practice. Some folks may be so disinclined or overwhelmed in this domain, so they might need you to set up the item or experience for them and/or encourage them to use it.

The list below is intended to go beyond gift-giving gender binaries for adults to widen the gifting framework while promoting wellbeing!   It could also be that you’ll discover an item you’d like to enhance your home life and self-care! There are many price point options included so be sure to scroll through the list. Of course, if you like the idea of something but want to up the lux or down the price, take that idea and run with it—the internet is your oyster!

Cash or gift cards

Extra financial support is typically an appreciated gift! Again if it’s for a lover probably want to pair that with a personal item as well. For git cards, make sure they’re actually interested in that store. I’ve received many coffee shop and technology gift cards in the past that I still have because I don’t drink coffee and usually only get tech upgrades when gifted directly.  Unless you know the person's favorite place to shop that brings them joy, general gift cards will have the highest likelihood of being used. Think something like Apple, Lyft, Visa, Amazon, Grubhub, Bed Bath & Beyond, Even Whole Foods or other grocery store gift cards could be a welcome gift for many folks.
