Alright. We’re over halfway through the year and what a place to be. I, and so many people I know, are truly feeling the effects of this COVID isolation has on mental health (whether introverts, extroverts, whatever), and feeling guilty for feeling sad when truly there’s much to be grateful for. And around and around (any other HSPs out there?). I’ve been thinking of all of them, and all of us, and everyone, and how in a perfect world I’d send every lovely person all the care packages and deliveries of flowers and original art work and fair trade chocolate and obviously fancy natural wines too. I guess that’s what led me to this post.
One positive note, amongst the dark backdrop of 2020, is that there’s been a really great outpouring of support in the world of small sustainable business and designers and makers. Lots of sharing of favorite artists and shops and lots of stories told. So when the idea came to me to round up all my favorite self care gift ideas into one post about care packages to send to loved ones, I’m so happy to say that I found endless opportunities for thoughtful and conscious gift sets. Here’s just 17 of those.
