Sure, we all love to be showered with gifts every now and then and if that’s on the cards for you this 14 February, then hey good for you. But there’s no reason to sit around waiting to be treated to a few niceties. It’s the year 2024, hello.
That’s why, we’re dubbing the month of February, our month of self-love (and long may it continue post-Feb.) Feel like joining us? Here are just a few ideas on how to spoil yourself but by all means, get creative and really indulge. You have our permission. (Even though you didn’t need it) …
Gift Ideas You’ll Love:
New jim-jams
There’s nothing quite like getting into bed early for a good ol’ Netflix sesh in brand-new pjs. There are tons of local loungewear brands popping up all over our IG feeds right now. What better way to give back to yourself and the universe than with a locally made and super soft pair of pajamas?
How about some ear candy?
Not a lover of sweet, sugary treats? Well, what about ones that shimmer and sparkle in your ears? Yes, we’re talking earrings. Everything from knock-out shoulder dusters to dramatic studs – whatever tickles your fancy.
Put a spring in your own step
Nothing feels quite as exhilarating as purchasing a new pair of shoes, right? Whether you’re a sneaker fundie or a high-heels-only kinda gal, there really isn’t a better way to show some self-love than to finally purchase that pair you’ve had your eyes on for a while.
Hop on the Dad shoe trend with these futuristic New Balance 9060 sneakers. Don’t mind if we do…
Breakkie in bed?
Who says you can’t have pancakes and eat them in bed too? Or maybe it’s a touch of granola and some of your favourite coconut yoghurt? Whatever your breakfast of choice, why not head back under the covers for an extra 7 minutes in bed while you enjoy the most important meal of the day?
Bonus points for inviting a few of your besties over for a post-slumber feast.
Go on a stay-cation
Pack your bags and head to your nearest hotel for an in-town mini escape. Places like the Radisson Blu in P.E, Cape Town and Jozi offer amazing fine dining experiences that require no more company than the delicious plates of food in front of you.
Their in-house Amani Spa’s are also fully geared for solo spa experiences.
