2024 Gift Guide: The Personal Development Junkie Edition

The holidays are the perfect time to add a little extra sparkle to our routines — especially for those of us who prioritize wellness, mindfulness, and personal growth. If you’re looking for gifts that are more than just things, but rather tools to inspire reflection, self-care, and inner transformation, then you’ve come to the right place! These gifts are ideal for self-care enthusiasts, the friend who loves a journal almost as much as their morning latte, or anyone looking to deepen their connection to themselves. So, why not give a gift that keeps on giving well beyond the holiday season? There’s something here for every self-care junkie in your life.

Before we get started — confession — we love these gifts SO much that for many of them we’ve become affiliates. Meaning, that when you order a little something that we recommend from here, you also give us a gift by helping to support the site and everything we do and stand for here at FBG at no additional cost to you. So thank you!

Under $20: Perfect Picks for Meaningful Stocking Stuffers

Clear the Air & Your Vibe
Palo Santo is a simple yet sacred addition to any wellness routine. This aromatic wood stick, when burned, creates a warm, earthy scent to clear the air and set a peaceful atmosphere. Great for anyone interested in grounding their space or preparing for meditation, journaling, or yoga. Buy on Amazon.

Bring The Spa Home With You
The Gua Sha Rose Quartz Tool ($16) is wonderful addition to a skincare or self-care routine, this rose quartz Gua Sha tool encourages lymphatic drainage, de-puffing, and circulation. It’s perfect for starting the day with intention, leaving skin glowing and mind refreshed. Me? I’m obsessed. Shop at Sephora.

The Gift of Stress Management & Calm
These somatic therapy / nervous system regulation exercise cards ($18.22) are the perfect grab-and-go mindfulness tool, helping the recipient release stored tension and build body awareness. Ideal for grounding and calming practices, these cards are easy to use anywhere, allowing for a quick moment of self-connection even during the busiest of days. As a Nervous System Regulation junkie myself, these cards are SO easy and thorough, even for a beginner. Buy on Amazon.

Mid-High-Range Finds for the Journal Junkie

Daily Deep Reflections… Pen-To-Paper Style
This isn’t just any journal — I actually created this Higher Self Journal ($22.22) based on my OWN experience with self-reflection (and also from an overwhelming annoyance of the generic journals out there.) With prompts to explore feelings and goals *every day*, this journal is ideal for anyone ready to tune in deeply and take action on their goals and intentions. Get it on Amazon.

The “I’m Serious AF About Journaling” Journal
The “Remarkable” ($379)… Let’s just say… This.Thing.Is.AWESOME! You know that friend who has 400 journals, but can’t seem to remember what’s inside each one? (The pink one for Full Moon Reflections… the butterfly one for Inner Child Work… & What was the sparkly one for again?!) This “digital” journal keeps it ALL organized and in one place. It offers the natural feel of writing on paper while organizing notes, ideas, and goals. Perfect for those ready to dive deep into personal development, track their thoughts, and stay organized on their growth journey. Available at Remarkable.
