An Infrared, PEMF, & Red Light Therapy Body Belt: Heat Healer

A Weighted Blanket: Bearaby Cotton Napper
Best for Restless Sleepers
You’ve probably heard of weighted blankets, but do you know all of their amazing benefits? When the weight is evenly dispersed on the body, natural hormones are released that calm you down, help you feel relaxed and let you drift into dreamland — keeping you cool, calm, collected and rested. Bearaby’s Cotton Napper is a chunky knit, organic cotton, weighted blanket that helps you sleep better and feel calmer, naturally. It makes the perfect gift for anyone having a hard time falling — or staying — asleep due to its many health and wellness benefits.
A Spa Gift Card: The Well
