Specific points to note if this is a gift
Think about something they like specifically. This will add a personal touch. Maybe something which can be called an indulgence. Their favourite chocolate. That book they have always wanted to read. A month of subscription to Netflix or Amazon Prime.
For example, get them their comfort food (that is, food specifically endearing to that person). For me, Maggi is my indulgence any day. For my mother, it is Mango Jelly; for my sister, it is any kind of chips, Lays, Bingo, etc.
How do I package a self care hamper?
Arrange all these products in a nice little hamper, like a basket. You could also add a bunch of shredded paper to make it look cozier. I would say the packaging matters. It takes the cuteness factor up a notch. You could also just tie all the things together with a ribbon and put it all in a gift box or even just gift wrap it.
If you are out of time, you can order this pre-made self care hamper from Ferns N Petals. They have really quick delivery options pan India.
I hope you (or someone close to you) will indulge in some self care. Comment below if there was something you would have added to this list, which I left out.
