Gifts for New Grads: Promoting Peace of Mind and Mental Health Awareness

May is the month of Mental Health Awareness, so why not give new grads gifts that will help with peace of mind and awareness of this new chapter in their life with scents, sleep, and self-care.

Scents

Sol de Janeiro 

Embrace scents with a beautiful base with the Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada Lotion. A collection of uplifting scents like Cheirosa 62 and Cheirosa 48 that leave the skin feeling soft and the mental state feeling chill. Grads will love the summery vibes of the shimmering lotion for a glittery glow and the water-gel lotion to cool down after a day full of sun.

House of Sacred Scents

For the grads who adore a holistic energy gift, gift them sets from House of Sacred. This handblended scent house is a female-owned brand that centers essential oils and natural smells in the Intention Oil Set. Channel the vibes with Drop In, Heart Lift, Liquid Altar, and Enter the Temple for a grounding energy that calms the mind no matter the occasion. The travel size and rollerballs make it convenient to travel with for on-the-go mental peace for in and outside the classroom.

Sleep

Helight Sleep

Grads can sleep easy with Helight red lights (and no more papers). The red light waves help to combat blue light (which keeps the mind awake) and, in return, aid in falling asleep. The light starts off bright red and fades over the course of twenty minutes to darkness. Sleep soundly with the Helight light for graduation night and beyond.

Mermade

Speaking of sleep, Mermade hair tools are a way to get to bed earlier and stay asleep with their blow-dry brush to dry hair in half the time of air-drying. It smooths out locks and keeps frizz at bay before bed.

For curls, the Heatless Style Kit is a great pick for heatless curls. The kit is made from silk as the hair wands twist up and are secured with ties. A silk pillowcase is the cherry on top to keep the hair in place all night long. A time-effective way to keep your favorite grad looking good for the next chapter of their lives (and nights).

Self-Care

Silk’n

Self-care is essential for maintaining mental well-being. GradS can alleviate their workload stress by prioritizing their own health with Silk’n. The LED Face Mask is a luxurious gift that skincare enthusiasts will absolutely adore. Its four features provide a range of benefits, including collagen production, blemish treatment, and increased moisture levels. This convenient mask takes only ten minutes and can easily be incorporated into your post-shower routine, whether in the morning or at night.

In the fast-paced world of careers, late nights and early mornings can turn brushing teeth into a rushed 1-2-3 routine that fails to reach every tooth. The Sonic Purple Toothbrush makes for a fantastic gift for oral health, equipped with a timer to ensure thorough cleaning of all mouth sections, multiple power levels, and a waterproof design that allows for quick use in the shower when time is tight.

You Are Enough Co.

Mental health should not be hidden, and grads can invite conversations or simply give reminders to themselves and others by wearing merch from You Are Enough Co. The collection has thoughtful hoodies and shirts that can be dressed up or down. The 100 Reasons You Are Enough Tee is a loving reminder of why being alive is worth it. My grad said she loved the softness of the tee and the messages it conveyed while running errands for graduation. A solid brand that gives back to mental health organizations to keep up the good fight while looking good.
