Charlotte Gifts for Relaxation: We’ve got all your needs for calm covered, with these local shops
With extra time spent inside, plans changing, and a lot of high-stress settings, the world is looking for relaxation methods. We’ve rounded up some ways for you to get your hands on just that, while also directly supporting your community’s economy, and all the businesses you love and miss the most. Give a gift to a neighbor or loved one who needs it, or gift yourself.
Sit back, be good to yourself, and remember that everything is going to be okay.
Rose Gold Rebel
This local shop has many themes to choose from ranging from packages geared towards moms, from those whose weddings have been postponed, self care, teachers, best friends, nurses, small business owners, etc. They even have a “create your own” theme capability. As they have had to close their physical doors, go give them (and the receiver of the package, even if it’s yourself) some love by ordering from their website. Nothing says relaxation like soft tees, pajamas, candles, and more.
