With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, have you found the perfect gift yet? If not, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Instead of the usual chocolates and flowers, why not treat your loved one, or even yourself, to something nice and relaxing? These Lavender & Blueberry Melatonin products from Organic Shop make a lovely gift, they’re all about self-care and relaxation, which, let’s be honest, we could all use a bit more of. Life can be so hectic at times, and if you’re anything like me, with never-ending to-do lists and constantly on the go, getting a proper night’s sleep can sometimes feel like an impossible dream.

And that’s where this gorgeous range comes in! There are six products to help you unwind: pillow mist, bath foam, body wash, body scrub, whipped body butter, and shower oil, all packed with Lavender, Blueberry & Melatonin, the ultimate ingredients for relaxation. Melatonin is a natural antioxidant that helps your skin repair itself overnight while also helping you drift off into a deep and restful sleep.

We ‘ve been trying out a couple of the products, the bath foam and pillow spray, which have really helped me drop off to sleep more easily.

For Dreamy Nights Deep Sleep Pillow and Body Mist – £5.99

A proper game-changer if you struggle to nod off. Just a couple of spritzes on your pillow and the calming mix of lavender, blueberry, and chamomile gets to work, telling your brain it’s time to chill out. It’s self-care that takes literally seconds but makes a big difference.

Unwind Your Mind Miraculous Bath Foam – £5.99

Fancy swapping a night out for a night in? Run yourself a bath, pour some of the bath in and sink into a tub full of soothing lavender bubbles. It’s designed to help your body and mind slow down, so you’ll be ready for a proper kip after. Oh, and it’s Vegan Society certified, so it’s good for the planet too.

At just £5.99 a bottle, these make brilliant gifts and they won’t break the bank either. So, if you want to give the gift of relaxation this Valentine’s, this range is a winner!

Sleeping on silk has many benefits and lots of my curly haired friends have switched to silk pillowcases since discovering they help to reduce frizz. Sleeping on silk is also good for your skin as silk absorbs less moisture and dirt than cotton meaning your night cream will stay on your face and keep your skin hydrated, rather than ending up all over your pillowcase.

Although silk bedding sounds incredibly luxurious I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at the Jasmine Silk website and discovered that silk bedding doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. With pillowcases starting at £16 it is definitely worth considering, as not only is it lovely to sleep on, the added health benefits add to the attraction.   

They kindly sent me one of their Ultimate Silk Pillowcases to try and as soon as I took it out of the packaging I could feel how luxurious this product was. Made from 100% Mulberry silk I love the feel and softness of the pillowcase and when I went to bed it was a delight to sleep on. It was also lovely and cool which is a huge benefit as now I am perimenopausal I am suffering from the dreaded hot flushes which are invariably worse at night, and I don’t sleep very well anymore.  After a few good nights sleep I am considering getting the matching sheets too as I am so impressed with the pillowcase. When I woke up my curls were still nice and bouncy and noticeably less frizzy so not only do I sleep better my hair looked better too.

The pillowcase was a good fit on my pillow, well-fitting but loose enough to easily take on and off.  With an envelope closure it looks neat on my bed. The pillowcase was easy to wash, it can be washed in a machine at 30 degrees and tumbled dried at a low temperature. I dried mine outdoors which helped reduce the creases and a cool iron quickly removed the rest.

Jasmine Silk have silk pillowcases in a variety of styles and a choice of 11 different colours and they also have silk bedding so you can sleep in luxury every night. With Mother’s Day fast approaching why not treat your Mum and give the gift of sleep this year?
