Basically, it has everything you need to take some much-needed alone time for yourself. Separately, all of these items would set you back more than $185, so you get a serious deal with this self-care box. Win-win!

In this gorgeous wellness journal from Papier, parents can spend some time reflecting on goals, intentions and generally what went well on any given day. While blank pages can be great for jotting down notes, guidance on things like sleep and self-care can help you adjust any habits as needed. And if having “Slow Down” on the cover isn’t your speed, there are other designs on the Papier site that can be personalized with your name.

Smudge Wellness intention deck and crystal set, $45

Let’s face it. Sometimes you just need to be told how amazing you are. These inspiring intention cards from Smudge Wellness do just that. The I AM & CO intention deck offers up mantras like “I am passionate” and “I am bold,” which are nice affirmations on especially stressful days. The gorgeous crystals that accompany the deck are icing on the already magical cake.
