This cozy weighted blanket is ultra-soft and scientifically proven to help you fall asleep faster (and deeper). Choose a 15 or 20-pound weight, then gift it to someone who could benefit from the experience of therapeutic pressure over their entire body. It’ll signal to their brain to release naturally occurring serotonin and melatonin. It’s basically a direct ticket to dreamland.
Daily stress management isn’t extravagant—it’s an essential akin to brushing your teeth. Moon juice supplements are formulated with adaptogens, mushrooms and clinical-level actives to help the body heal from and ward off the damaging effects of stress, among other daily variables that might affect one’s wellbeing (focus, mood, energy, skin, sex, etc.). We love how cool and giftable the popular Moon Dusts are, but be sure to check out their skincare, capsules and snacks too. Use code PUREWOW10 for 10 percent off.
Diamonds are exactly the kind of gift that’ll make anyone feel extra loved, especially when they know the gems are ethically crafted and 100 percent lab grown. Timeless and elegant, these studs will surprise and delight even the most discerning recipients. Available in white and yellow gold with oval, round, emerald, princess, pear or round halo cuts.

We all know curling hair is actually way harder than it looks, so anything that can make it easier (aka save tons of time) is going to be received as a really thoughtful gift. Like the Beachwaver, which was invented by celebrity hairstylist Sarah Potempa. If you’re not already familiar, it’s an automatic rotating curling iron, and it’s won over 50 beauty awards(!!). It’s also just plain cute (peep the Catwalk Collection). But the real icing on the cake is that you can shop using code PUREWOW for 20 percent off your purchase.
Speaking of awards, Sofwave is an FDA-cleared skincare treatment that’s been racking them up (we’re talking Elle’s Future of Beauty Award for Treatments, Shape’s 2022 Skin Award, NewBeauty Magazine 2022 Beauty Awards and Cosmo’s 2022 Holy Grail Beauty Award). The treatment lifts skin and reduces fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin, and it’s safe on all skin tones. Plus, you can head straight out to dinner after having it done. This is exactly why it makes an excellent gift for those skincare junkies in your life with full social calendars.
You know what would really make her smile? Another beautiful necklace from Blue Nile for her carefully curated stack.

But maybe she’s more into bracelets, or maybe something engraved would mean the most. Blue Nile’s unrivaled selection of expertly crafted fine jewelry means there’s something to spoil your loved ones, no matter their personal style.
