Gentle pressure sleep mask.
People online are raving about the abilities of a weighted eye mask. It provides a soothing pressure that relieve tension in the face and blocks out light. And a more affordable sleep mask does not mean low quality. Opt for a traditional sleep mask made of skin-loving silk: blocks out light without irritating the skin.
Humidifier to ease their sinuses.
A humidifier boosts moisture levels in a room, which can help with sinuses, and prevent nasal passages from drying out during the night. For the dry winter-skin babes, a cool-mist humidifier can also keep your skin hydrated.

Oh-so-luxurious sheets
Struggling just to get warm under the covers? Give your friend a toasty sheet. Either a cashmere blend for extra warmth, or one made of bamboo and charcoal fiber to prevent odor and wick sweat.
Neck and back massager
Relieve the tensions of the day, with a neck and back massager. Because adulting has given us all tight muscles in our neck and shoulders.
A snuggly body pillow
Calling all side sleepers! Yes, even non-pregnant people can use this for a good night’s rest. There are all kinds out on the market: hypo-allergenic, temperature-regulating, ones stuffed with memory foam. It’s time to feel supported and cuddle straight to dreamland.
Don’t doubt the powers of a noise machine
Whether you have loud neighbours, there are distracting noises or just can’t sleep without noise: a white noise machine is great for you. The mini versions are space efficient and come in a variety of pretty colours. But you prefer diving into pure silence, invest in some noise-cancelling earplugs.
A comfy set of pajamas
There is nothing quite like putting on your bedtime lewk before jumping under the covers. Get your loved one a pair of super soft and stretchy PJs. If they’re not into wearing sets, you can also just buy them some boxer-style shorts or silky pajama pants. Even if they’re a warm sleeper, and kick the blankets off, they can still sleep comfortably in their PJs.
A set of headband headphones
Having fights with your earbuds or earphones in the night is so not it. Opt for a comfortable headband, with removable speakers, that can be pulled over your eyes to use as a sleep mask. Put on some soothing tunes or the sound of rain falling to whisk you off to sleep.
