Christmas Crunch? 5 Spiritual Gifts You Can Snag Today!

Christmas is coming, and like every year, you’re ahead of the game. You asked Santa to start making gifts a few months ago, and nothing or no one will make you doubt… Just kidding, it’s complicated. THIS IS A COMPLICATED SITUATION, ALERT. Where did the year go? And why are you behind on Christmas gifts every year? No need to blame Santa… Here, let me help with this selection of five spiritual gifts to place under the tree. You’ll see, they’re easy, affordable, and available at major retailers!

Incense & Incense Holders

Let’s start with the simplest option: incense. I can hear you already—no, this isn’t just a gift for free spirits living in the woods or for yoga enthusiasts. Incense and incense holders make the perfect spiritual gifts for beginners.

Incense is well known for helping reduce stress and anxiety by creating a relaxing environment. Each scent offers unique properties. For more spiritual individuals, incense can be used to attract the attention of deities and serves as a channel for prayers. Loban dhop sticks and guggul, for example, have been used for centuries in spiritual rituals to create sacred spaces due to their aromatic properties.

I encourage you to check out Walmart’s selection, which is diverse and affordable. You can pick up an incense holder and several sticks of incense.

Essential Oil Diffusers

In the same spirit, I recommend an essential oil diffuser. Whether it’s for relaxation, air purification, better sleep, easier breathing, or boosting immunity and mood, essential oil diffusion brings many benefits. You could even check out our article on aromatherapy and essential oils to find the best oils for a spiritual gift. Personally, I’m a Leo, and I love orange, frankincense, and rose, perfect for my wild personality!

I found a really neat diffuser on Macy’s website from Boxwood Plant Diffuser. It’s a faux plant where you can add essential oils, working similarly to an electric diffuser. A two-in-one gift: a plant and a diffuser!

Scented Candles

Finally, to wrap up our list of comforting scents and aromatherapy benefits, let’s talk about candles! I don’t need to sell you on these. Everyone knows candles are good for us: beautiful for the home, full of wonderful scents, and they offer various olfactory benefits. And here at AskAstrology, we don’t do things halfway, so we wrote an article to help you find the candle scent that best matches your zodiac sign. For Leo, it’s lemon, and I couldn’t agree more! A little zest in my daily life, perfect for my fire sign!

At Barnes & Noble, I found this Scented Candle with Wellness Crystals. It offers the comfort of a candle combined with the strength of crystals, namely amethyst. It’s exactly what I think of when talking about spiritual gifts.

Crystal Healing Kits

Speaking of crystals, why not gift a starter kit to explore this discipline? The mineral world opens doors to many possibilities in all aspects of life, allowing you to harness your abilities to their fullest potential, turning flaws into assets that improve your life and help others in need. Each stone possesses its own power, helping you face life with more ease.

Walmart offers a set based on the seven chakras: Red Jasper, Topaz, Citrine, Epidote, Turquoise, Sodalite, and Amethyst. A booklet explains the stones’ properties, how to cleanse them, and more. It’s a beautiful gateway into the world of crystals.

Meditation Journals

Lastly, for a spiritual gift, I can’t recommend anything more than a guide or journal. Here, I’ll focus on the meditation journal, but there are guides for every interest: candles, crystals, yoga, aromatherapy, Ayurveda, positive affirmations, and more. A journal is a great way to learn while also tracking successes and challenges. It’s an excellent tool for personal growth.

The 5-Minute Meditation Journal: Quick Guided Meditations for a Calmer, Happier You by Miranda Lee seems like a great starting point for meditation. Available at Barnes & Noble, this journal’s goal is simple: offer five-minute meditations, give advice, and let you keep track of your practice. I might even buy this spiritual gift for myself!

In Conclusion on Spiritual Gifts

We all know that Christmas can often feel like too much. Too many gifts, too many wishlists, too much consumerism—yet it’s supposed to be a time of sharing! With these spiritual gifts, you’ll bring a bit of simplicity to Christmas and give others a way to reconnect with themselves.

I hope I’ve helped! Feel free to share your own spiritual gift ideas with me!
