Don't Stress: 4 Perfect Stocking Stuffers for Mental Wellbeing!
The festive season is a time of joy and togetherness, but it can also be overwhelming for little ones navigating big feelings. That’s why I’m excited to share this gift guide featuring four incredible small businesses creating thoughtful products to support kids' emotional well-being—including a product from my own range. From tools to help process emotions to activities that promote calm and connection, these meaningful gifts are perfect for nurturing young hearts and minds this Christmas.
I love Gemma's work! She has created a range of bracelets that aren't just lovely to look at and wonderful to accessorise with but the fidget bracelets are genius! Featuring different beads of textures and colours.
They are great little stocking fillers for kids who need something to keep their fingers busy, whether it's because they're nervous and anxious or need something to occupy themselves especially in situations that are new, or they can't move a lot.
I wear mine and often hand them to my son if he finds himself in a situation that means he might pick at his fingers and helps to keep him distracted. I use mine when I am feeling anxious, feeling each bead helps to keep me grounded in unknown situations.
Irene says "I really like the different textures and functions on this bracelet! It helps to keep me calm when I’m feeling anxious as it distracts me a little bit"
You can get a bracelet from Birdie Rocks Jewellery Etsy Store
