Self care package for men

[LynAnne]

My DH has been really struggling the past few weeks with anxiety, particularly health anxiety, and high blood pressure so I thought it might be nice to make him a bit of a self care package for Christmas. Just a few things that will help him relax. So far I've got...

His favourite teabags
His favourite chocolates
A game he wanted for his PS4
The little book of mindfulness
Pillow sleep spray

But I'm struggling to think of any other ideas. Suggestions?

I've also got him "Dear Dad, from you to me: Memory Journal" for our boys to give him.

Would he do an adult colouring book? They are supposed to be really good for mindfulness

Colouring book/puzzle book/reading book
Model kit
Hot chocolate
Relaxing oils so you could give him a massage
Spa voucher
Heat pad/hot water bottle

A colouring book would be a good thing to include. I sometimes do colouring books with my DD and I find it quite therapitic and it helps with my anxiety.

I don't have any more ideas but I want to say that you are doing a lovely thing for him

Are there any comedians he likes? Maybe a comedy/stand up DVD.

Would he be offended if you put something like Kalms or rescue remedy in there for him to take when he is feeling extra anxious?

A puzzle or puzzle book maybe too

Thanks so much for the ideas! Some really good ones.
