But did you know gift-giving actually has benefits for you, too? Multiple studies have revealed that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/greatergood.berkeley.edu\/article\/item\/5_ways_giving_is_good_for_you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">altruistic behavior can reduce stress<\/a>, increase happiness, and even extend longevity! When you give someone a gift or spend time helping others, your brain may be releasing endorphins, resulting in that warm, fuzzy feeling. Gratitude is incredibly important to your overall well-being. Expressing gratitude in the form of gifts, volunteering, or donations, can have a positive effect on your mood and mental health, which impacts your overall wellness. Studies have also found that volunteering and giving gifts improved wellness for those suffering from chronic conditions, and even reduces death risk! Plus, researchers say that giving fosters stronger connections and social bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wellness: The Gift that Gives Twice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to get a gratitude boost from your holiday gift-giving? Give wellness. A wellness gift shows your recipient that you care about them in a meaningful way. For example, giving a massage gift from Soothe lets them enjoy a relaxing at-home experience, perfect for de-stressing in the busy holiday season. (And who doesn\u2019t need&nbsp;<em>that<\/em>&nbsp;right about now?) Compared to something material, sharing a wellness gift not only makes them feel good in the moment, it encourages better wellness habits, too. Plus, when you give a thoughtful wellness gift, you also get a positivity boost!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perfect for Procrastinators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"555\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ww1.soothe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Massage.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-77776 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ww1.soothe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Massage.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ww1.soothe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Massage-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ww1.soothe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Massage-600x333.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/555;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/ww1.soothe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Massage.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-77776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ww1.soothe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Massage.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ww1.soothe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Massage-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ww1.soothe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Massage-600x333.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Couldn\u2019t decide what to get them? Missed the shipping deadlines? Forgot somebody on your list? The holidays are stressful enough without all that! Wellness gifts are a great way to say \u201cthank you\u201d in a meaningful way, without the extra stress. Massage gift cards let them customize their own experience, so you don\u2019t have to worry about what type of massage they prefer. When you give wellness with Soothe, your recipient can even choose the day, time, and service type to make it a totally personalized gift \u2013 without any extra effort on your part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget a gift for the most important person on your list \u2013 YOU! The added stress of the holidays makes it easy to forget about your own self-care. While you\u2019re focused on giving to everyone else, it\u2019s important to check in with yourself. A wellness gift for you is just as important! If you don\u2019t have time now, simply get yourself a wellness gift card to use later when it works for your schedule. It\u2019s a total win-win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Give Wellness Gifts with Soothe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Soothe, our mission is to make wellness more accessible for everyone.
