Whether it’s the December holidays or their birthday, these gifts are a great way to show you care, and to help your loved one stay calm.
Weighted Blankets
Weighted blankets provide proprioceptive input (similar to a hug), and are great for helping the nervous system calm down. Choose a blanket that is 10% of your body weight for the best results.

Shower Steamers
A common complaint I hear from people with misophonia is that they don’t have time for a relaxing bath to soak with bath bombs. To the rescue are shower steamers. All the scent of a bath bomb, but far more convenient for the busy misophone.

Relaxed Mind Lavender Tea
Lavender is naturally relaxing, so drinking it in a tea is a great way to calm. The heat of the tea is also a great way to calm down after an overstimulating day.
