Each of us practises self-care differently. Whether it’s lighting a scented candle and doing a 10-minute meditation, enjoying a glass of wine, hugging a cuddly plushie or buying a gift to celebrate our little everyday wins, putting ourselves first and listening to our bodies are what keep us going during these difficult times. Over the past year, we’ve seen the rise of care packages being sent to family, friends and even workmates, and below are some of our handpicked ones to brighten someone’s day – yours included!
1. A Little Thing Care Packages, RM159 to RM199
The pandemic has really affected our lives. Some more than others. A Little Thing was launched out of four sisters’ need to look for an alternative way to cover their daily expenses as their main income in the wedding industry has been greatly affected when Covid-19 hit. Being well-versed in gifting and catering to consumer’s needs and likes, they decided to launch this gifting service and have since come up with ready-made boxes – the latest being three care packages: (from left) Get Well Soon, Be Healthy and Take Care. As the names suggest, the sisters hope that these packages will remind people of home and feel better knowing that someone cares for their well-being during this period. Their curated gift boxes also come with free name-engraving services on the box and a handcrafted note for you to write a message to your loved ones. Plus point: they ship worldwide too!

2. Gorjes Pieces Self-Love Package, RM125
As a brand that encourages self-love, Gorjes Pieces’ followers have grown fond of their efforts in advocating and inspiring girls to love themselves. The encouragement from followers was the inspiration behind Gorjes’s self-love package (only available this month), which comes with a personalised jewellery from the ‘Love Yourself’ collection, a handmade crystal energy candle from Asteri, a jar of notes, a scented sanitiser and a sticker. The interesting part about the notes in the jar? Each of them comes with a different quote on self-love suggested by Gorjes’s followers! When you read the notes on a bad day, it’s like a BFF is reminding you to love yourself no matter what. Gorjes hopes to continue inspiring others to love themselves and create a ripple effect that leads to a self-loving community. Get 9% off all items from 21st June to celebrate compassion and empathy towards ourselves.

4. Kittie Yiyi Care Bear Package, RM239
Our favourite quirky fashion designer has come up with an adorable Care Bear package in time for Father’s Day. The idea of the package comes from seeing fathers as bears; intimidating on the outside but warm and cuddly on the inside! Even though the design might be a little too cute to gift fathers, it brings the feeling of love and comfort during these tough times, especially for those who haven’t seen their dads for a while. Sending a loved one this package is like sending them a warm embrace. You can even gift it to your friends or younger siblings who love Kittie Yiyi’s designs and are a fan of plushies! The package comes with a tee to lounge in, a pair of socks, a mask and hand sanitiser for protection and the best part yet – The Bee'st Friend Plushie to provide instant comfort when you’re feeling down. PS This promo pack is only available up till Father’s Day, so we suggest adding it to cart now!
