Gifts Under $30 For Women In Recovery

Gift ideas for sober women, women in recovery - self-care, healthier self-indulgence, and fun, pretty things.

Do you know a woman in recovery?

I have a hunch that a fair number of you can answer yes to that (either for yourself, or others). Well. I actually got semi-organized and put together a list of gift ideas for you!

If neither of those categories applies to you though, that’s ok – these ideas do not discriminate. They aren’t all specific to recovery, but they are good for anybody who is interested in self-care, healthier self-indulgence, and fun, pretty things.

I’m cataloguing all of these different gift ideas into one big page (click here to view) as I write the different posts, so you can refer back to this, or that page for different ideas at different prices.

*The prices on all of these could vary, y’all know how Amazon likes to change things up. Pricing is accurate at the time of this post.

Gifts Under $30 For The Woman In Recovery

I put out a request for gift ideas on Instagram, and everything on this list was something that at least 1-2 women had on their own wish lists. These are a few general ideas, and there are more specific suggestions below this.

  • Massage/spa gift card (not necessarily under $30, but it could be!)
  • Pretty mugs for coffee and tea
  • Art supplies
  • Journals, notebooks, sketchbooks (cue “These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things”)
  • Coffee and tea goodies
  • Scented candles
  • Healthy cookbooks
  • Essential oils

Maybe Swearing Will Help: Coloring Book and Pens – $20

Because the title is hilarious. I want it. Just saying.


Inkspirations for Recovery Coloring Book – $10


 

 

 

 

 

 


The Sober Journal – $20

I highly recommend The Sober Journal for everybody in early sobriety. Journaling was a huge part of my sobriety, and still is (obviously). There are places to track additional habits (not just sobriety), so this is also a great gift just in time for the new year.


Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone – $16

Really, anything by Brene Brown is fantastic. Fun fact: she is also a sober woman! 15+ years of sobriety looks great on Brene, and even though she doesn’t write specifically about sobriety, her books are perfect for women in recovery. I read everything from her that I can get my hands on, and this is her newest book. I finished it last month.

Check out the other awesome books I recommend on my Resources page


The “Okay Fine, I’m Grateful!” Gratitude Journal – $16

This is a personal favorite, and the photos are my own (and they do link to the product on Amazon). Every page has a different quote, an area to mark just HOW grateful you’re feeling, etc. It’s awesome and I highly recommend it!

3-Pack of Adult Coloring Books – $22

Because we may be grown-ups, but we’re also grown-ups who like to relax and color without thinking sometimes.


12-Count Bath Bomb Set (LifeAround2Angels) – $25

Bath bombs are the bomb (I know. Groan). But really, these are one of my favorite excuses to take a bath. Like I need many excuses.

 


Sobriety Medallion Keychain – $20

I love this so much (and all of the other personalized little medallions, necklaces, and keychains out there). Whether it’s this product or a similar one, this is a great reminder for recovery. Sobriety necklaces are also very creative gifts for women in recovery.


The Sober Apparel from Plus P Productions is all under $30!

Tshirts, hats, beanies, and more – oh my! Plus P Productions has a great selection of recovery-themed apparel for women. I love my tshirt:

Shuttle Art 120 Unique Colors (No Duplicates) Gel Pens – $19

Art supplies in general are a big plus for a lot of us.


Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils, Soft Core, 72-Count- $24


Yogi Tea Office Favorites 6 Flavor Variety Pack (Pack of 6)- $24

I love Yogi tea, and use the Kava Stress Relief tea at least 2-3x per week. My kids even drink the Echinacea Immune Support, especially this time of year. Sometimes I add honey to my tea, but usually I drink it as-is, and it’s such a treat.

Love me some Kava tea, y’all.


Passion Planner – Compact Size – $25

This planner goes deep into goals, visions, and plans (hence the name). I haven’t used it myself yet, but it’s also on my wish list. I’ve heard good things, and hope to find out more for myself soon.


Start Where You Are: A Journal for Self-Exploration – $13


There are so many great ideas out there, I could go on and on. But I’ll stop here for now, and will probably update it a bit later.

What are your favorites on this list, or would you add something?
