Single moms struggle to have time and energy for self-care. It seems to be one of the first things to go when life gets overwhelming. However, taking care of yourself is one of the most important things to do so that you have the energy to take care of your family.
Here are the best ideas to put together your own DIY self-care package or choose one of the done-for-you self-care boxes I scoured the world wide web to find for you.
DIY Single Mom Self Care Kit Ideas
If you want to make up your own self-care kit get a cute container and fill it with some of these fun ideas.
Fun Travel Mug
Single Parents are often stressed for time and being able to have a cup of coffee while dropping off the children or driving to work is perfect.
Bath Bombs
Bath bombs are a good reminder to take time to relax.
Audiobooks
Most single moms have precious little time to sit and read, but when she is in the car or doing things around the house it is a great opportunity to also do something enjoyable like listen to a great book.
Inspiring Journal
Single moms often don’t have someone to share the highlights of their day with. A journal is a great way to process thoughts and feelings or just document where you are in life, so that you can look back at it later.
Dinner
You can do this by making a meal for her. Get her this Food in a Flash system and choose a meal to make from the list or get her a gift certificate to her favorite local restaurant.
Cooling Weighted Blanket
These are fantastic for the single mom who is feeling a little anxious. It is like a comforting hug at the end of a rough day. Or she can put it on her bed at night and it will calm her worries all night.
One of the complaints about regular weighted blankets is that they feel to hot. This cooling weighted blanket takes care of that problem.

Stress Reliever Tea
A cup of warm tea is relaxing in winter or summer. Making yourself a cup of tea encourages you to take a few minutes to just sit quietly and be. Here is a collection of my favorite stress reliever herbal teas.
Basket, Bag, or Box
You can put the items together in a gift bag, box or cute basket. Here is an adorable option if you want to put everything in a basket.
