6. Tea

I could go on and on about tea. I order tea from The Republic of Tea and ever since then it had been a treat. It is soothing and can be a great calming thing to drink before bed. My mom and I would watch our favorite show and sip on tea together.

7. Journals

Journals are a great gift for any gender and any age. You can get them in so many different designs and colors. My therapist recommended me to journal when I was having very bad anxiety.I look back at my old journals and it is so cool to see how far I have come. They can be an encouragement.

10. Hugs

This is a free gift that means a lot. Sometimes, you don't have words to say to someone that has anxiety and that is ok. Hugs are a great gift and gesture. Go give some hugs my friends! Also, if you are reading this and don't have anyone to hug.. Go hug your furry friend. They are great for releasing anxiety as well.
