Perfect decorations, perfect food and perfect presents: that's how most of us imagine Christmas. Our loved ones are happy and we women can take credit for delivering an atmospheric Christmas like in a Hugh Grant film.
But what about you? Don't you think that the creator of these great holidays should get a little extra attention? It's exactly you who should receive gifts at Christmas that you desire from the bottom of your heart and that nourish you. And who knows better what's good for you than you?
Take your gifts into your own hands and gift yourself with your favourites this year. How about these five suggestions for your best Christmas gift to yourself?
1. MAKE YOUR LIFE AN ADVENTURE!
What it gets you: Couch potato was yesterday! Break the daily routine with a few new emotions. Experience life instead of following the daily stress. And bring experiences into your life that you didn't know yet and show you: There is so much more!
What it can be: Husky tours, hiking with alpacas, quad biking through the winter landscape, a snowshoe hike with mulled wine by the fireplace, paintball, archery, take a short trip or simply rediscover your city with guided tours (Middle Ages, ghosts, etc.).
Where to find it: Just check out Airbnb Experiences or Activities on TripAdvisor!
2. QUALITY TIME JUST FOR YOU OR A BEAUTY DAY
You are always there for the others. But so that this goddess can also replenish her inner reserves of strength, a feel-good beauty day comes just in time. It's best to pamper yourself from head to toe. If a full spa day isn't in the cards, choose what's really important to you to feel good in your skin. Make this day your day!
What it gets you: Relaxation, self-love.
What it can be: Manicure, pedicure, facial treatment, full body peeling, sauna, reflexology foot massage, fresh haircut, photo session.
Where to find it: Beauty salon, hamam, wellness and spa in your city, photo studio.
3. SELF-CARE OR GET WHAT REALLY NOURISHES YOU
Hand on heart: Very few Christmas presents do we really need and hardly any really make us say "Perfect, that's exactly what I wanted!". So just treat yourself to what you need for your body to feel good and strong in your skin.
What it gets you: Take care of yourself not only on special beauty days, but every day. Take care of your skin. Take a close look at your skincare regime to see if it still meets your skin's needs. Support yourself with nutritional supplements to feel better. Take care of yourself - inside and out!
What it can be:
tigoderm - the probiotic system care for the beauty of your skin. 100% natural, vegan & with live bacteria for relaxed and nourished skin.
tigovit - Green tea power pure! The practical capsules with the special extract EGCG for more well-being.
tigosol - The Sun complex with vitamin D3 to stay full of energy.
4. ON COURSE: LEARN SOMETHING NEW
Spice up your life! Literally. Has cooking Indian food always been a secret dream of yours? It doesn't have to be so secret. Just sign up for a course and let us show you everything. Take a moment to think about what you're passionate about and what skills you want to learn. And get started!
What it gets you: New knowledge, new hobbies, maybe a new profession. And definitely new acquaintances.
What it can be: Perfume workshop, baking class, wine tasting, mantra chanting, learning Japanese or perhaps programming.
Where to find it: On online platforms such as Edukatico, Udemy, SkillShare, Domestika or classic courses at the Adult Education Centre (VHS).
5. THERAPY OR SELF-REFLECTION
No, it doesn't have to be the classic psychiatrist's couch. It's simply about getting impulses that help you cope better with everyday life or remove blockages.
What it gets you: Give yourself the opportunity to open up to someone, either a psychologist, a life coach or a confidant. Everyone carries around a certain amount of anxiety, so why not confront it with professional support?
What it can be: Life coach session, counselling with a psychologist, a good book.
Where to find it: Ask friends for recommendations or search on rating portals for the right offer for you.
Now Christmas can come! We wish you a Merry Christmas of love. And get to work on the gifts for more self-love!
