We all know one. The friend who’s running on coffee and chaos. The mum who hasn’t had a minute to herself since 2007. Or maybe... it’s you. Either way, The Relaxation Edit is here to help you (or someone you love) chill right out. From self-warming eye masks to cheeky bath salts, this collection is basically a hug in gift form. Time to unwind Let’s start with the Lula self-warming eye masks — the hero of any relaxation routine. They heat up gently as you rest, melting away screen fatigue and stress. Vanilla for sweet comfort, jasmine for calm, rose for romance, lavender for sleepy vibes, or unscented if you like to keep things simple. Pop one on, close your eyes, and let the world wait. Pair it with Lula Calm Mist or Calm Balm — a dreamy duo that says “deep breath” without words. The mist settles your space, the balm softens the edges of your day.Tension? Meet your match We hold more tension in our faces than we realise. Enter the Gua Sha. Whether you choose the green jade or rose quartz, these smooth stones glide over the skin and help work out all those tiny tight spots. Team it with a beautiful face oil for that spa-at-home glow... it’s the kind of present people don’t buy for themselves but absolutely love receiving. Bath or shower... your call Mini bath bombs, handmade suave soaps, and the ever-cheeky Salty Vibes bath salts. Choose your mood: chill the f**k out or leave me the f**k alone. (Honestly... both sound right.) If you’re more of a shower person, grab a few shower steamers. They fill the air with gentle essential oil clouds while you wash off the day. Light it up A Fallow & Fox candle adds the finishing touch. Go for bergamot and rose for something fresh and floral, or white patchouli and musk if you love a cosy, grounding scent. Candlelight fixes nearly everything.   Ready to relax? Explore The Relaxation Edit online and build the perfect care package for anyone who needs a break (including you). Local, cheeky, and full of heart... just how we like it at Moonta.
