If you or someone you care about deals with anxiety (either chronically or periodically), you know how disruptive it can be to one’s life. It can cause us to feel on edge at times, can lead to panic attacks, disrupt sleep and even cause physical health issues. So what can we do?

There are many tips and tricks to help us deal with anxiety, from meditation and exercise to listening to music, eating healthfully and seeing a therapist if needed. And those things do help.

But sometimes we can find relief and comfort in other ways. I personally keep an anti-anxiety pouch with me in my purse in case I start to feel a little anxious. Having these few things with me does help. Besides the few things I keep in my pouch, I do utilize a few other items.

Do you need a few ideas for gifts for someone in your life who deals with anxiety?

7 Thoughtful Gifts for Someone with Anxiety

I wanted to share 7 items that I either use and recommend or feel would be good for others in helping to ease the symptoms of anxiety.

1. DoTerra Peace Touch Essential Oils Roll-On. If you haven’t heard about essential oils….where have you been? They are all the rage right now being used in a variety of ways. Aromatically, topically and even internally. I use the oils for several things, tummy troubles, skin issues and anxiety/depression.

2. Motivational Cards. Give these to someone else or keep them for yourself. Look at a new card each day to help give a boost to your day.

We all need kind and uplifting words spoken to us. Why not speak them out loud to yourself daily? These are Thoughfulls Pop-Open Cards by Compendium. Pack of 30 cards each with a different inspiring message inside.

3. Ear Buds. I always carry some kind of earbuds with me. If I feel any anxiety or depression bubbling up, I like to retreat to my music. It helps to calm me or lift me up.

There are a variety of earbuds n the market. I know folks love their Air Pods. I hear they are great. I am just not into the price tag, so I have opted for a pair of iFrogz Sport Wireless Earbuds.

They come in a wireless charging case and are the wrap-around-the-ear kind of earbud. Which I find more comfortable. Sound quality has been good for me as far as talking on the phone as well as listening to music. Very portable and the charge lasts a long time, so they are ready whenever you need them.

4. Weighted Blanket. Research has shown that the weighted blanket can be used to help comfort, calm and decompress adults and children. It’s like giving a warm hug.

You can purchase this blanket from YnM. It comes in a variety of sizes, colors and weights to suit your needs.

5. Rhythms of Renewal: Trading Stress and Anxiety for For a Life of Peace and Purpose by Rebekah Lyons . This is the 5th Thoughtful Gift for Anxiety that I recommend. I am about halfway through this book myself and am finding it very helpful.

With encouraging stories and practical tips will help you move towards life long journey of living intentionally toward emotional, relational, and spiritual health.

6. Gift Card to a favorite eatery, store, or online shop. With this thoughtful gift, you can let the person know you are thinking about them. And it allows them to select what they would like.

7. Echo or Echo Dot. This wireless speaker is so much more than just that. It can be used to check the day’s weather forecast, to listen to a Daily Devotional, favorite podcast or any music. The user can customize the Echo to work with various apps (skills) such as Headspace App or even turn the lights off and on in their home.
