15 Self-Care Gifts for Men: Practical & Fun Gift Ideas

Practicing self-care is essential for long-term happiness and health. In this article, we’ll discuss the best self-care gifts for men with unique and practical ideas.

Self-care for men can be positive affirmations, a relaxing bath, or a delicious beverage. Below, we’ll share relaxing gifts for men, with something for everyone, including a friend, family member, your partner, or anyone else who might need a pick-me-up.

1. Affirmation Cards

Affirmations are positive phrases people can think or say aloud to improve their mood and feel better. Allison Young, MD, discusses various studies that show the health benefits of affirmations, such as higher self-confidence and the ability to problem-solve under stress.

Affirmation cards are a great practical gift for men who may need words of encouragement. They can easily be placed in their workspace or on their bedside table.

2. Hops-Infused Beard Oil

If the special man in your life has a beard, gift them Oakwell Cosmetics Hops-Infused Beard Oil for a unique self-care gift. It’s made with a nourishing blend of hops, cedarwood, tea tree, and rosemary essential oils, making for the ideal beard care product. 

The Hops-Infused Beard Oil moisturizes and strengthens the hair and skin underneath while relieving dry, itchy skin. Your gift recipient can also use the oil in their hair for additional self-care.

3. Back Massager

Gift an at-home massage with a Handmade Wooden Rope Back Massager. 

The massager has wooden ridges and knobs that knead muscles, tendons, and ligaments, perfect for men who experience soreness or tired muscles. It also has two handles, making it easy to massage the back, neck, legs, and feet.

4. Calming Bath Salts

One of the best self-care gifts for men who enjoy baths is Oakwell Cosmetics Calming Bath Salts, which enhance any bath experience. The bath salts are made with a relaxing blend of minerals, herbs, and essential oils. They also contain Epsom and sea salt, hops, barley, and oatmeal – the best ingredients for a calm mind and body.

If your recipient doesn’t have a tub, they can also use bath salts in the shower as a body scrub or as a foot soak.

5. Herbal Beer Bath Tea

Oakwell Cosmetics Herbal Beer Bath Tea is like a large tea bag with nourishing ingredients, making it a rejuvenating addition to any bath or shower. It’s made with hops, barley, and eucalyptus, which contain nutrients that encourage relaxation and clean and hydrate the skin.

The tea bag can be soaked in a warm tub of water for a bath or hung on the spout during a shower.

6. Waffle Bath Robe

One of our favorite relaxing gifts for men who might like to enjoy an at-home spa experience is Oakwell Cosmetics Waffle Bath Robe. It’s lightweight and 100% cotton, with a luxurious look and feel. It’s also one-size-fits-all with an adjustable belt for comfort. 

7. Spa Foot Bath

If your gift recipient is often on his feet, a spa foot bath is one of the best self-care gift ideas. It’s easy to use while watching TV, enjoying a drink, or reading a book. 

There are many spa foot baths to choose from, including a heated foot spa massager, a bubbler foot bath, and an affordable pedicure foot spa. 

8. Beer Body Wash

Who says beer is only for drinking? Beer skincare products can clean, hydrate, and nourish the skin.

If you’re looking for self-care gifts for men who love beer, Oakwell Beer Body Wash is ideal. It’s made with a purifying blend of botanical extracts and works well for all skin types. It also has a fresh oats, roasted, barley, vanilla, and orange scent.

9. Beer Body Lotion

Oakwell Cosmetics Beer Body Lotion is a useful addition to a man’s skincare routine. It’s made with a rejuvenating blend of beer ingredients, shea butter, coconut oil, and sweet almond oil. It also has a calming vanilla and orange aroma.

10. Beer Hair Mask

Hair care is self-care, too. Give the gift of Oakwell Cosmetics Beer Hair Mask, which your recipient can use to deeply hydrate their hair. 

The hair mask is made with beer’s nourishing ingredients, sweet almond oil, and shea butter. They can leave it in while taking a bath or shower, then wash it out for clean, hydrated, silky smooth hair.

11. Hack Your Nervous System: Anti-Anxiety Deck

Nearly one in ten men experience anxiety or depression. While it’s best to consult a medical professional for the appropriate treatment, the Hack Your Nervous System: Anti-Anxiety Deck is an empowering gift that can help anyone manage stress and feel better.

The deck includes 60 cards featuring mindful activities and helpful tools for coping with stress and reconnecting with oneself, such as taking a break outdoors and quick breathing exercises.

12. Insulated Stainless Steel Tumbler

One of the best gift ideas for encouraging the special guy in your life to enjoy a refreshing, cold beverage is the Oakwell Cosmetics Stainless Steel Tumbler.

The tumbler is made of triple-wall, insulated stainless steel, which keeps beer, cocktails, mocktails, or any other beverage chilled for several hours. It also has a leak-proof lid for easy sipping while relaxing on the couch, taking a bath, or sitting by a campfire. The tumbler comes in blue or green, both colors that represent tranquility.

13. Relaxing Candle

Oakwell Cosmetics Cedarwood & Amber Candle is an easy self-care gift for those who may not have the energy to engage in an activity. It’s a relaxing addition to a nap, warm bath, or movie night. It gives cozy vibes with cedarwood, which creates a soothing atmosphere, and amber, which offers a sweet, warm scent. 

It’s also made with 100% soy wax, chestnut, vanilla, and tonka bean, which also support relaxation.

14. A Question a Day Self-Care Journal

Creating a habit of self-care can promote wellness for years to come. A Question A Day for Self-Care is a 3-year journal that encourages people to prioritize their mental health daily.

The journal has prompts for each day with space to record your response every day for three years. Prompt examples include, “What do you love most about yourself?” and “What keeps you grounded?”
