What to Gift for Mental Health Awareness Month

If you're shopping for a self-care gift, a wellness gift or something to help support the mental health of someone in your life from co-worker to friend to family to neighbor, you're in the right spot as we're gathering some of our favorite and most popular gift baskets to help reduce stress.

At Marigold & Grey, we believe that gifting can be a powerful gesture of love, empathy, and hope. And during Mental Health Awareness Month in May, that belief feels more important than ever. We designed our curated collection of Health & Wellness Gift Boxes with intention to deliver calm, comfort, and care during life’s harder moments.

Whether you're sending a "thinking of you" gift to someone navigating a difficult time or treating yourself to a little peace of mind, these self-care and mindfulness themed gift boxes are a meaningful way to show support and remind someone (or yourself!) they’re never alone.

Below, we’re sharing a few of our favorite wellness gifts that speak the universal language of calm, clarity, and compassion.

Just Because Gifts Are Always Appreciated

A ‘get well soon’ gift doesn’t have to be given only for a sickness or illness recovery. With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to check in with loved ones who might need a little mood boost, an excuse to relax, or a special note to let them know you are thinking of them and are always in their corner. A little bit of support can go a long way for someone facing a tough time or someone who is feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Let's unbox a few of our favorite gift sets for when you want to send a bit of mindfulness or a comforting gift of support and wellness. As always, all of our signature gift sets include a handwritten notecard so you can send a heartfelt note of encouragement.

Whether you want to cheer up a friend going through a breakup, send a bit of self-care to a loved one suffering a loss, or boost the spirits of someone going through a big life change, it’s important to let the important people in your life know how much they mean to you.

Let’s normalize checking in, showing up, and gifting kindness, no matter how big or small the gesture.

If you are looking to send a little support, shop our collection of sympathy and thinking of you gifts, our collection of get well and wellness gifts, and our collection of self-care gifts - we’re sure you will find the perfect gift to inspire calm, comfort, and connection.
