Cozy Night-In Self-Care Kit: Robes, Slippers, Heating Pads, Tea & Face Masks
24
items The first cold evening of fall is when a proper night in pays off, so this kit covers every layer of it: something to wear, something warm on sore shoulders, tea, a journal and a handful of face and hand treatments. Everything here is easy to wrap up...
This is the splurge robe of the kit and the one I would keep if I could only own one. The Turkish cotton terry is thick without being heavy, and the deep pockets hold my phone and a lip balm while a mask sets.
Lunya Spa Terry Robe
I reach for this mug for hot chocolate and herbal tea after dinner. The quilted pattern feels nice to hold with both hands, and the stoneware keeps drinks hot long enough that I actually finish them.
Anthropologie Quilted Ceramic Mug
After a long day at a laptop my shoulders are tight, and this wrap drapes over them so I can keep my hands free. It has three heat levels, a two-hour auto shut-off and a washable cover, which makes it a safe evening habit.
PURSONIC Electric Neck & Shoulder Heating Pad
The curly faux-shearling on these is ridiculous in the best way, like stepping into a cloud. They have a real sole, so I can take the dogs out for a quick yard trip without changing shoes first.
UGG Tasman Maxi Curly Slippers
Smooth this on as the last step of the night and wake up with plump, calm skin. The rose scent is gentle and the gel texture never feels sticky on my pillowcase, which is why it earns a spot in my winter rotation.
fresh Rose Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask
A guided journal removes the blank-page problem, which is exactly what I need at the end of a busy day. I answer one prompt with my tea beside me, and it takes about five minutes to feel settled.
Papier x Anthropologie Guided Journal
The glass teapot lets you watch the tea flowers open, which is a small show that slows the whole evening down. It comes with eight blooming teas, so it works as a gift or as a way to make a regular night feel special.
Teaposy Teapot & Teas Set
Pure mulberry silk blocks the light and does not tug on the delicate skin around the eyes. I pull it on when I want a full night, and it also stays cool, so I do not wake up with creases or a warm face.
Slip Silk Sleepmask
Cold air and constant hand washing wreck my knuckles by November. This salve is thick, absorbs without a greasy feel and holds up through a whole evening, so I put it on at night and my hands are soft by morning.
Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve
The gentle weight over my eyes is the closest thing I have found to a mini massage for a headache. I rest it on my face for ten minutes with the lights off, and it also doubles as a sleep mask when I need it.
Nodpod Weighted Blanket For Your Eyes (Sage)
For under ten dollars this makes a bath feel like a spa, with real bubbles and a calm lavender scent. I pour it under the running tap, climb in with a book, and that is a night in for under the price of a coffee.
Dr Teal's Soothe & Sleep Foaming Bath with Lavender
This is the one candle in the kit because its citrus-and-fruit scent is fresh instead of heavy. I light it on the bathroom shelf while I run the bath, and the whole room smells like a vacation by the time I step in.
Capri Blue Volcano Glass Candle
A mask, a night cream and a hand cream in one tube, which is why it lives next to my bed. I use a thick layer for ten minutes during a bath, then rub the rest into my hands, and my skin looks rested the next day.
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask
A wool throw is what turns the couch into the best seat in the house. Mine is hand-knit, heavy enough to feel like a hug, and I pull it up over my legs for a movie while the heating pad does its work on my back.
Chunky Wool Blend Throw Blanket
The bamboo sheet is soft and soaked with a lot of serum, and I never get that dried-out mask feeling halfway through. It is a quick, inexpensive way to give a friend a spa moment, and sensitive skin handles it well.
Rael Hydration Facial Sheet Mask
If the terry robe above is too warm for you, this organic waffle weave is the lighter alternative. It dries quickly, feels airy after a shower, and is soft from the very first wash, which makes it a great all-year layer.
Coyuchi Organic Waffle Robe
Winter lips are my least favorite problem, and this berry-scented mask fixes them overnight. I put on a thin layer after brushing my teeth, and by morning the dry patches are gone, so I treat it as a nightly step.
LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask
These look like real loafers, so I wear them for Sunday errands and after-dinner dog walks without feeling sloppy. The faux-shearling lining keeps feet warm, and the suede upper is a polished look for a house shoe.
Maeve Faux Shearling Loafer Slippers
Epsom salt in hot water is my go-to when my legs ache after a day on my feet. The rose scent is soft and relaxing, and a big bag lasts several baths, so it is a budget-friendly addition to any self-care basket.
Dr Teal's Pure Epsom Salt Soak, Calm & Serenity with Rose
For free-writing, to-do lists and holiday gift ideas I prefer a lined journal, and this one has 192 pages. The cover is playful, the paper is thick enough for gel pens, and I keep it on my nightstand.
Papier x Anthropologie Notes & Ideas Journal
These are single-use gloves soaked in healing ointment, and they are mess-free. I slip them on for about ten minutes while I read, and my cracked, dry skin feels smoother afterward without any greasy residue on the book.
Aquaphor Repairing Hand Masks
At seven dollars this is the cheapest way to turn a face mask into a massage. I glide it up my jaw and cheekbones with oil, and the cool stone helps with puffiness in the morning and tension in the evening.
EcoTools Jade Gua Sha Skincare Tool
Pull on these moisturizing booties during a movie and your heels will be soft by the end. Tea tree and shea butter give a fresh scent, and the socks hold the lotion in place, so I can lounge without slipping.
Earth Therapeutics Tea Tree Oil Moisturizing Foot Mask
The diffuser is the flame-free way to scent a room, which matters in a house with a curious cat. I add a few drops of lavender or eucalyptus, run it while I get ready for bed, and the room smells calm.
Vitruvi Black Stone Essential Oil Diffuser
