If this past year has taught us anything, it’s probably that we already have enough stuff. What’s in short supply for most women is the time needed to focus on themselves. Instead, most women are pulled in multiple directions by family, career, and a disproportionate share of unpaid work, such as childcare, cooking, and cleaning. As the expression goes, a woman’s work is never done. This year, you can give the woman who already has everything a gift that will keep on giving, a membership to her favorite yoga studio or to a meditation app that will give her the time and space to focus on her needs. With a bit of ingenuity, you can find that certain something that will make her day, or even better, her year. Here are some memberships and subscriptions to help her prioritize self-care.
