Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Your Chronically Ill Partner

Are you trying to find the perfect Valentine’s day gift for your chronically ill partner? Then you probably want to find a gift that not only shows your love but also will make their life easier. Well look no further, here are 17 valentine’s day gift ideas that will provide them comfort, relief and relaxation.

17 VALENTINE’S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR YOUR CHRONICALLY ILL PARTNER

ASAKUKI 500ml Premium Essential Oil Diffuser

1 – Essential oil diffuser

ASAKUKI 500ml Premium Essential Oil Diffuser

$25.49 at Amazon

There’s a lot of debate about how beneficial essential oils can be for pain relief or other chronic conditions. But there is evidence to support how soothing and relaxing they can be.

You can choose to add it to a diffuser and fill your home with soothing, beautiful aromas.

This diffuser is one of the best sellers on Amazon. I also have this diffuser and can honestly say it’s amazing. It’s the perfect size for any room.

It has four different time settings, multiple mist modes and an automatic safety mode, which turns off the diffuser when it runs out of water and prevents overheating.

It is also incredibly easy to clean. What more could you want from a gift?

 Aromatherapy Associates Destress Candle

2 – Aromatherapy Candle

Aromatherapy Associates Destress Candle

$69 at Aromatherapy Associates

Who doesn’t love a nice candle? Candles are not only a great way to set the mood, but just like diffusing essential oils, they can help soothe and relax you.

If your partner is a candle lover, aromatherapy candles such as this one from Aromatherapy Associates is a brilliant choice.

It’s a natural, hand poured candle with a soothing blend of Frankincense, calming Wild Camomile & focusing Petitgrain to promote calm and focus.

If you’re in the UK, you can also get the candle here

Rose Home Throw Blanket

3 – Fluffy Blanket

Rose Home Throw Blanket

$24.99 at Amazon

Comfort is key when you live with chronic pain/illness. So, they will appreciate any valentine’s day gift idea that promotes snuggles.

There are so many options out there to choose from, whether it’s personalised, luxuriously soft, a bright colour or a cool pattern.

Renpho massage gun

4 – Massage gun

Renpho Powerful Portable Massage Gun

$99.99 at Amazon

Chronic illness often causes a lot of pain, stiffness, and inflammation.

Massage can be helpful for those trying to manage their chronic pain and illness, but going to a masseuse all the time can be costly.

So, opt for something a little more affordable, such as a massage gun or device.

Bloomingdale's Quatrefoil Station Bracelet

5 – Bracelet

Bloomingdale’s Quatrefoil Station Bracelet

$475 at Bloomingdales

If you want to splash a little cash on something extra special, you can’t go wrong with a nice bracelet.

It’s a romantic valentine’s day gift idea that your partner can keep forever.

This one from Bloomingdales is an exclusive part of their collection, meaning you won’t find it anywhere else.

Made with 14k yellow gold with a quatrefoil motif, it has a simple yet luxurious look, perfect to wear casually or for special occasions.

Swarovski Twist Pavé Intertwined Double Row Bangle Bracelet

Cheaper Alternative

Swarovski Twist Pavé Intertwined Double Row Bangle Bracelet

$125 at Bloomingdales

If you’re on a bit of a budget this year, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. This Swarovski bracelet is a beautiful yet affordable alternative.

Iron Flask Store - Iron Flask Sports Water Bottle

6 – Water bottle

Iron Flask Store – Iron Flask Sports Water Bottle

$28.95 at Amazon

It may not seem like one of the most romantic valentine’s day gift ideas, but it’s the thought that counts!

As living with a chronic illness often requires taking medication, which can sometimes cause dehydration, meaning drinking water is key.

This water bottle is a number 1 best seller and well-reviewed on Amazon.

Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, it also comes with three different leak proof lids and is made from high quality stainless steel.

Yeti Rambler 20oz Tumbler (#1 best seller)

7 – Tumbler

Yeti Rambler 20oz Tumbler (#1 best seller)

$119.99 at Amazon

As someone living with chronic pain, I can’t explain how handy having a tumbler is.

I love hot drinks and on high pain days, the last thing I want to do is go back and forth to the kitchen to reheat my tea or boil the kettle.

If the person is like me and loves their hot drinks, or if they like ice-cold drinks or smoothies, a tumbler is a great gift.

Boux Avenue - Heart revere and shorts set

8 – Valentine pyjamas

Boux Avenue – Heart Revere and Shorts Set

$54 at Boux Avenue

These cute valentines themed pyjamas are perfect to throw on for a cosy Valentine’s night in, snuggled up on the sofa watching movies.

If you’re in the UK, you can find the same PJ’S here.

Blissy Silk Sleep Mask

9 – Silk Eye Mask

Blissy Silk Sleep Mask

$39.95 at Blissy

Getting a decent night’s sleep when you have chronic pain or a chronic illness can be tough, which is why a silk eye mask is the perfect gift.

According to sleep researchers, silk eye masks can help block out light that may usually stop you from falling asleep, prevent exposure from harmful lights, boost your mood and help you relax and destress.

Handmade, crafted from silk and packed in a lovely gift box, the Blissy silk eye mask can really help aid in a better night’s sleep, which is crucial when you’re chronically ill.

If you’re in the UK, you can find the same eye mask here.

Hotel Chocolat The Velvetiser - Copper Edition

10 – Hot Chocolate Maker

Hotel Chocolat The Velvetiser – Copper Edition

$149.95 at Hotel Chocolat

You’ve probably seen this all over Instagram, but I mean, who doesn’t love hot chocolate?

The Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser allows you to make the best hot chocolate at the click of a button.

In a luxurious copper tone, the velvetiser also comes with 2 ceramic cups and complimentary real grated chocolate flakes, no powders or syrups. You can also use it with water, milk or plant based milks.

If you’re in the UK, you can get it here.

iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum

11 – Robot Vacuum

iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum

$179 at Amazon

Vacuuming is the last thing someone with chronic pain/illness wants to think about, and sometimes it can be impossible for us to do.

The Roomba is amazing. You literally turn it on, and let it do the hard work for you.

Intelligent Change: The Five Minute Journal

12 – Journal

Intelligent Change: The Five Minute Journal

$33.99 at Amazon

Journaling is a great way to express your thoughts and feelings, plan your days, or just doodle. It’s also a great way to take your mind off your pain or illness.

I love The Five-Minute journal, as it has two sections for the morning and night, as well as prompts and daily affirmations.

Sweetzer & Orange Store Blank Coupons

13 – Love coupons

Sweetzer & Orange Store Blank Coupons

$7.99 at Amazon

Luxurious gifts are amazing, but one thing those of us living with chronic illness can truly benefit from is a helping hand.

This is one of my favourite valentine’s day gift ideas!

Use this coupon book to offer a helping hand, for example, with cleaning, cooking, or doing laundry. Basically, anything that would be helpful to your partner in managing their illness.

Urban Stems - The Serena (Vase Included)

14 – Dried Flowers

Urban Stems – The Serena (Vase Included)

$105 at Urban Stems

Dried flowers are a great choice as they last a lot longer than fresh flowers, meaning your partner can adore them for even longer.

They also don’t have to be watered, which is great for those who are chronically ill, as tending to flowers and plants everyday might not be at the top of the to do, or not to do list.

Sunny Present Store - Stress Less Cards

15 – Mindfulness & Meditation Exercises

Sunny Present Store – Stress Less Cards – 50 Mindfulness & Meditation Exercises

$14.35 at Amazon

Constantly, being in pain of feeling unwell can cause a lot of stress. So, help your partner blow off some steam with these stress less cards.

Each card in the deck has different exercises you can do to help calm the mind and relieve stress and anxiety.

Some cards include mindfulness exercises, guided meditations, and instructions to perform certain actions to help find different ways to manage stress.

Uncommon Goods -Calming Lavender Heat Pillow

16 – Heat Pillow

Uncommon Goods -Calming Lavender Heat Pillow

$35 at Uncommon Goods

Heat can help with pain relief, soreness, muscle tension and inflammation. So this calming lavender pillow is perfect for anyone living with chronic pain/illness.

The luxurious pillow has locally sourced barley and lavender filling its 100% cotton exterior.

Just pop it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, and let the warmth and soothing aroma relax you.

CleanTray™ UV Sterilization Case

17 – Sterilization Case

CleanTray™ UV Sterilization Case

$79.95 at Grommet

The last thing those of us living with chronic illnesses need is to catch any colds or nasty viruses going around.

So, if you or your partner are worried about bacteria, you can use this UV light sterilization box to kill up to 99.9% of germs in just five minutes.

Pretty cool, huh?

It’s also rechargeable, portable and works on other things like your keys and Air pods.  

I hope you found the perfect gift for your partner!

I know it’s hard to choose the right valentines gift for your partner, particularly if they have a chronic illness.

Mainly because you want to get them something, they’ll actually find helpful. Gifting them something that helps them manage their illness couldn’t show how much you love them anymore.

I hope you found these valentine’s day gift ideas helpful.

Chronic illness is a full-time job, with no off da Chronic illness is a full-time job, with no off days or vacations. Everything revolves around our health. 😓Over time, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or even depressed. 

That’s what led me to take such a long break from the blog and socials! 

It took me a long time to shake that feeling. But one thing I know for certain is, I never want to feel like that again and I don’t want you to either. 

But things get tricky when you have a chronic illness. It’s here to stay. We can’t hit the kill switch on our illness. So how on earth are we supposed to ‘recharge’? 

It’s something I’ve been trying to figure out for the longest…

In this week’s blog post, I’ve put together some helpful strategies that have helped me, and will hopefully help you, deal with burnout. 

I break down what chronic illness burnout is, some signs to look out for, as well as some simple things you can do to combat it. 

I hope you find it helpful! Link in Bio.

I do know that things can feel a little ‘blah’ and dreary around this time of year. 

The holidays are over, and with them can come a wave of sadness. The decorations have been taken down; the presents have been opened, and all that's left is to face the reality of January and the cold winter months ahead.

Rest,Rest,Rest...😴 If you live with chronic pa Rest,Rest,Rest...😴

If you live with chronic pain or illness, you come to realise how important rest actually is❗️

It's the one thing we need to keep going.

However, in a world where 'maximising your time' and productivity hacks are shoved down our throats, particularly at this time of year (New year, new me and all that shit). It's easy to feel you're wasting time or not doing enough by prioritising rest. 

But I'm here to say fuck that! 🖕🏾

Rest when we need it can NEVER be a waste of time!

It's an investment...! Particularly if you have pain or any health condition!

Rest is our time to destress, detach and escape from all things thrown our way, health or life-related.

Let's stop punishing ourselves, or feeling guilty about resting. Instead, let's consider it the best investment we'll ever make... into ourselves!😉
