- 1. The Shift
If you're shopping for someone with anxiety, then chances are you're not alone.
One in three Americans report dealing with symptoms of stress or anxiety, and that appears to be growing during the ongoing pandemic.
Life can be a daily struggle when you're living with anxiety, so anything that helps them cope is sure to be a gift well received.
Even fun times like the holidays can trigger anxious feelings, so why not buy them a present that helps them manage day to day, or just provides a welcome distraction?
Here is our list of the 29 best gifts to help people with anxiety:
1. The Shift
A stylish accessory to relieve anxiety
Research shows that breath-control can be effective against anxiety.
Gift someone The Shift and they have a way to train their breathing, as well as a stylish accessory.
The Shift is inspired by the 17th century Japanese Komuso Monks, who used a bamboo flute as a method of attaining enlightenment.
Komuso have taken the principles and created this highly polished stainless steel pendant, available for men in three different colors.
The circumference of The Shift supports a 10 second exhale, helping you to control your breathing when you need it.
It's not just great for someone's anxious moments either, it's also good for those who want to relax their mind as they prepare to meditate.
We're featuring The Shift for men here, however they also do a design for women, available in different colors including rose gold.
2. Dare: The New Way to End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks
A practical guide to help those living with anxiety
Help someone see anxiety in a different way, by adding Dare to your cart.
Psychologist, Barry McDonagh wrote the book after spending years working with people suffering from anxiety.
Through his DARE technique he claims you can stop panic attacks and put an end to anxious thoughts. It also comes with a free app to help you apply the DARE response to any situation.
Essentially the DARE response encourages you to question what's the worst that can happen, then learn to accept it and face it down.
The message is empowering and anxiety sufferers rave about the book. They particularly like how it presents a relatively simple technique that has helped them see their anxiety in a different way.
3. Chinese Marble Dark Grey Baoding Balls
Relieve stress and pressure using this traditional method
Distracting your brain from your thoughts and worries can be an effective way to deal with anxiety.
As you rotate these Baoding balls within your hands, the movement is thought to relax your brain and help to get rid of tension.
This set of Chinese Baoding Balls are made from high-quality marble and come with a beautiful bag so they make the perfect gift.
Purchasers of the product said how smooth the balls were and therefore satisfying to rotate within your hand.
4. Muse S
Train their mind to find calm
Meditation has been scientifically proven to help with the symptoms of anxiety.
However sitting cross-legged in an incense filled room isn't for everyone!
Encourage even the least spiritual person to embrace the practice by treating them to the Muse 2.
It's wearable smart technology that monitors your heart rate, breathing even your physical movements and brain activity, to improve the way you meditate.
If you want an example of how the meditation headband works, take a look at the weather feature:
Essentially Muse S translates your mental activity into weather sounds, for example if you have a busy mind, you'll hear stormy weather.
As you meditate and begin to relax, you start to hear calmer weather.
Shopping for someone being kept awake by anxious thoughts? They'll enjoy the Go-To-Sleep mode.
Using soothing voice guidance and real-time feedback, it will prepare their mind and body for sleep.
5. Anxiety Is My Cardio Socks
A fun gift for someone who laughs in the face of anxiety
Though socks are seen as the most uninspiring holiday gift, this pair are sure to raise a smile!
Someone whose brain is constantly on the run with anxious thoughts will certainly agree that anxiety is their cardio.
The calf length breathable socks are great quality and feature an all-over print so it's funny from any angle.
Sock wearers loved the breathable material and the fact they were available with a range of different captions.
6. Aku Mat
Wrap up the healing powers of acupressure treatment
Acupressure has been shown to have amazing advantages for people living with anxiety, and we believe there's no better acupressure mat than the Aku Mat.
The process of acupressure is found to release endorphins, commonly referred to as the 'happiness hormones', invoking a sense of deep relaxation.
Unlike competitor mats that use plastic spikes, the Aku Mat has spikes made from copper, iron, nickel, silver and zinc.
It might look a little painful, and Akuspike's CEO said it can be at first! However, you quickly get used to the sensation and the results are more than worth it.
Akuspike also offer a different acupressure proposition, which is a great alternative to a stress ball, plus wearable acupressure later in this article…
7. Shower Steamer Spray
Enjoy the benefits of the bath…in the shower!
A hot bath can be a great way to unwind when you're feeling anxious.
However sometimes you simply don't have time!
Enjoy the soothing effects of the bath by spritzing this steamer spray in your shower.
This all-natural aromatherapy mixture can be sprayed directly onto the walls of the shower or onto the shower head.
Choose from four different scents:
Including Stress Relief a mix of lemongrass, eucalyptus and orange essential oils to help ease anxiety.
Or opt for Wake Up Call that includes orange, lemon and spearmint to give you a boost at the start of the day.
Pin it for later!
Quick tools for finding calm in a stressful world
Professors, psychologists and mental health experts have come together to create a toolkit for people struggling with stress and anxiety right now.
The focus of The Anxiety First Aid Kit is on practical tools for coping with panic and finding space to feel calm and relaxed.
You'll be introduced to the power of visualization, diaphragmatic breathing and shown how to make a worry appointment!
There is also a final chapter titled 'Super Effective Strategies That Take a Little More Time' which helps you look at your lifestyle and see if there are things you can do to help relieve anxiety in the long term.
Readers of the book loved the exercises they could implement immediately, such as 'worry walks' to release stressful thoughts.
9. Adult Coloring Book: Stress Relieving Animal Designs
Offer them a colorful way to relax and unwind
Distractions are great for sufferers of anxiety, so why not purchase this Adult Coloring Book?
It includes 50 animal designs, each of which are beautifully illustrated.
Coloring might seem like an activity for kids, but it's also the perfect way for adults to just switch off and express themselves creatively.
It doesn't matter about your skill level, it's more about simply relaxing and having fun.
10. Sweatpants & Coffee Anxiety Blob
A fun and unconventional anxiety gift!
When you're looking for a truly unique gift for someone with anxiety, meet The Anxiety Blob.
This soft little plush character made from faux fur fabric is great for snuggling up to on tough days.
Not just that but the heavy duty thread used on its face means you can adjust your Blob's expression to how you're feeling.
The Anxiety Blob started out as a sketch drawn by the founder of Sweatpants & Coffee, as she wanted to visualize what her anxiety felt like.
Now people use the Blob in therapy, with many describing how they've bought them for children as a way to introduce conversations around worry and anxiety.
11. Sky Organics Lavender Essential Oil
A pure form of this anxiety-soothing essential oil
Lavender has been shown to have many wonderful benefits for anxiety, including being a natural way to relax without the use of medication.
It's particularly good if your loved one's anxiety means they're looking for things to help them sleep.
Sky Organics Lavender Essential Oil is one of the purest forms out there.
It's 100% pure therapeutic grade and certified by the USDA. As a natural product it contains none of the synthetic ingredients that you might get with competitor products.
Essential oil lovers were so happy with both the quality and the price, describing the beautiful scent you'll experience from only a few drops.
12. Aku Rings
Wearable acupressure that looks good!
As well as creating the best acupressure mat around, Akuspike have also created these wonderful acupressure rings!
As previously mentioned when discussing the Aku Mat, acupressure is great for anxiety.
Slip one of these rings on your finger and you have the treatment on hand (literally!) whenever you need it.
Just roll it up and down your finger from top to bottom.
They're great for distracting your mind when it's swirling, and for improving your overall finger health.
Made from copper the Aku Rings look like an attractive piece of jewelry, plus you get a set of three so you could keep one for yourself!
13. Talkspace Online Therapy Session
Give your loved one space to talk
Though you'll always be there for your loved one, sometimes it can help to have someone impartial to speak to about their worries.
Treat them to a therapy session with Talkspace.
After a brief initial assessment they'll be able to select from a range of therapists to speak to about how they're feeling.
Every therapist is experienced, licensed and skilled in providing guidance and tools to manage stress and anxiety.
One of the best aspects of a Talkspace therapy session is that they can choose to speak via text or on a video call.
Everything is of course confidential, and they can choose to extend their treatment after they've used their therapy e-card.
14. Self Therapy Cards for Anxiety Relief
Affordable therapy in a box!
Like the sound of Talkspace therapy but want something a little more affordable?
Wrap up these Therapy cards and give someone a little self-help kit whenever they need it.
In the box there are a mix of 115 question, action and meditation cards:
Question cards get them to reflect on different aspects of their life and identify what might be triggering their anxiety.
Action cards give them tasks to do to encourage positive changes in their life.
Meditation cards will help them live more mindfully and find ways to deal with daily stress.
Those looking for self-care tools loved this box of cards, with one person describing them as a "therapist in your pocket!".
15. Calm X Gravity: Original Blanket
Snuggle up under an anxiety-soothing blanket
Though research is still limited, there is evidence to suggest that weighted blankets are powerful for reducing symptoms of anxiety.
That's because the weight helps to reduce autonomic arousal which is responsible for symptoms of anxiety, including increased heart rate.
With a soft micro-plush cover they'll love unwrapping this soft blue blanket, even before they realise its weighted power!
Choose 15, 20 or 25lbs of weight, whatever equates to roughly 10% of the person's body weight.
Also right now when you purchase this blanket you get a free one-year subscription to the Calm app — recognized as one of the best apps for people with anxiety.
16. Anxiety Girl, Lavender & Coconut Water Infused with Impending Doom

This 100% natural soy candle is manufactured in the US, and infused with the unmistakable scent of 'impending doom'.
It's perfect if you don't want to get a super serious gift, but still want to acknowledge what she's living with.
Plus it does actually have a sweet and calming scent, with hints of fresh lavender and coconut water.
Created by the Malicious Women Candle Company, a portion of the profits from each purchase is donated to a charity that supports women in need.
17. The Anxiety Journal
Learn more about anxiety through insightful exercises
Journaling has been proven to be a useful tool for people living with anxiety.

It guides the reader through activities in a gentle and understanding way, offering insightful advice with beautiful accompanying illustrations.

18. Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body

Referencing brand new research, this book needs adding to your cart for a beginner or even an experienced meditator.
19. Tea Drops
Pour a cup of natural anxiety relief
A number of teas, including peppermint, are incredibly potent when it comes to managing the symptoms of anxiety.
However rather than the hassle of loose tea, just pop a Tea Drop in hot water.
This trio of teas includes Rose Earl Grey, Citrus Ginger and Sweet Peppermint so the person you're shopping for has a range of different flavors to choose from.
Each of the Tea Drops is produced from organic tea leaves and also a little raw sugar to make the drink a little sweeter.

20. CalmiGo Calming Device
A clever device for instant anxiety relief
Regulating your breathing is often a technique recommended for people dealing with anxious thoughts and feelings.

Focusing on Kundalini yoga, it looks at how this can be combined with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to free people from the "worry cycle".
