Wellness Basket Ideas
How Do You Make a Wellness Basket?
Wellness baskets are insanely easy to make! Here’s one I made for a friend below! ☺️
Steps to make a wellness basket:
- Find a cute basket (or some type of container to put your goodies in.)
- Buy your goodies.
- Place them in the basket (put the largest items in first, and tallest items in the back!)
- Deliver and delight! 😃
*Note: A basket that is wide and shallow will typically be better than a narrow and deep one, just because when you deliver the basket, your friend will be able to see everything inside much easier!
What Can I Put in a Wellness Basket?
Okay, I’ve broken down my health and wellness gift basket ideas into categories to make it easy for you to buy things depending on what you’re making the basket for specifically! Enjoy! PS. If you still need more inexpensive wellness gift ideas this list has tons more!
Self Care Basket Ideas
1. ORGANIC FACE MASK
Please name one woman who doesn’t want to give herself a home facial when she’s down in the dumps or needs a little extra lovin’….. There are none! This organic face mask is perfect for any skin type (other than oily) since it doesn’t have any toxins in it!
2. A GOOD NOVEL
Nothing like losing yourself in a good fictional story when you’re having a stressful week! Colleen Hoover is an insanely famous author that any girlfriend is sure to LOVE.
3. SLEEPWEAR SET
The neutral soft colors in this set are gorgeous and perfect for a relaxing night in. I also seriously can’t believe you can get this set of 3 for such a good price! Roll the sets up and stick them inside your self care gift basket for the perfect feminine touch!
4. ORGANIC DRY SHAMPOO
Dry shampoo is perfect for any wellness basket. Every lady loves some good dry shampoo when she wants to give herself a bit of a pulled together look (even if she’s insanely busy!)
5. HAIR SCRUNCHIES
Every girl loves hair scrunches. You just can’t go wrong with throwing some of these in your wellness gift basket! Plus, these neutral colors are just gorgeous and go with everything.
6. BATH BOMBS
These lavender bath bombs make bath time soooo enjoyable and relaxing! Seriously, the smell of the lavender just makes you feel like you’re at the spa, and like you can take a giant breath of fresh air.
Mental Health Basket Ideas
7. A PRAYER DEVOTIONAL
When you’re struggling with mental health issues (and ANY time, for that matter☺️), the absolute BEST thing you can do is learn to get into prayer and release it all to God!
8. A ZOX BRACELET
Every one of these bracelets has an encouraging message on them! It could be just the reminder your friend needs if they’re having a hard time.
9. ORGANIC TEAS
These teas are stress-relieving and caffeine free! Perfect for winding down and relaxing at nighttime to get things off your mind.
10. ASHWAGANDHA
This supplement can be life changing for someone dealing with anxiety or stress! It’s been used for ages to promote mental clarity, concentration, provide better sleep quality, enhance energy levels, and lower anxiety and stress!
Definitely one of the TOP wellness basket ideas!
11. MINDFULNESS CARDS
Each one of these cards includes an inspiring message on the front and a mindfulness exercise on the back. Mindfulness is one of the best ways to overcome anxiety, stress, and depression because it brings the body and mind back into the present moment, and gives you a sense of everything being okay. 10/10 recommend!
Wellbeing Basket Ideas
12. FOAM ROLLER
Every health and wellness gift basket needs a foam roller in it! These are perfect for exercise friends who need to roll out their sore muscles. These majorly help with exercise recovery and soreness!
13. STRETCHING MAT
Everyone who lives a healthy lifestyle needs a good mat to stretch on, whether it’s simply for stretching or home workouts! You can’t go wrong with putting one of these bad boys in your wellness gift basket.

14. MOTIVATIONAL WATER BOTTLE
Not only does this water bottle hold a gallon of water, which is what everyone needs in a day, but it also has the times on it to keep you on track to getting all of your water in throughout the day, with encouraging notes!
15. NUTRIBULLET
Seriously the easiest way to make smoothies, dips, sauces, and more! I use mine all the time for all sorts of recipes!
The best part is, if you’re making a smoothie, all you have to do is twist the container right off, stick a lid on it, and then drink it right from there! So much less mess than using a typical blender. (And it works way better, too.)
16. BOMBAS SOCKS
I kid you not, these are the BEST socks on the market for people who exercise. They’re just the right amount of thickness and don’t slide down on your feet. My husband and I both got some of these as gifts last year and we both LOVE them!!
17. ORGANIC LOVE CRUNCH GRANOLA
I cannot tell you how TASTY THIS GRANOLA IS. As a health and fitness freak, I eat it literally every single day of my life. So I know that it’s the perfect addition to any wellbeing gift basket!
This is one of the BEST wellness basket ideas, in my opinion! Also check out these healthy snacks to buy because any of these would be great options to throw in your wellness basket!
What Can I Use Instead of a Basket for a Gift Basket?
There are tons of options if you want to use something instead of an actual basket for your wellness gift basket!
I always try and use something that is reusable, if that makes sense. — Get something that could be used for storage or decor in your friends’ home! Below are a few ideas.
OPTION 1: A LARGE DECORATIVE BOWL
Not only could you stick all of your wellness “basket” goodies inside of this, but it also works as the perfect decorative piece for your friends’ kitchen or dining room area!
OPTION 2: COLLAPSIBLE LAUNDRY BASKET
I love using laundry baskets for wellness baskets because your friend can still see all the goodies inside when you deliver it to them, but they can also use it for laundry (or storing anything else)!
The fact that this one is collapsible makes it perfect for any living space!
OPTION 3: BEACH BAG
Okay, what lady doesn’t love a new bag for the beach, lake, or pool? The bag I linked is just like the famous “BOGG” bags, but for less than half the price!
OPTION 4: COOLER BAG
Okay, if you ask me this is pretty clever. 😉 Want to turn your wellness basket into a full-on gift they’ll be even more excited about? Use a cooler instead!
