Perfect Nights Sleep Reed Diffuser, £45.00It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but perhaps for you it is the most stressful, the most upsetting or the loneliest. It’s been such a hard climb to this point that often the end of December can feel like an enormous disappointment for having achieved only a fraction of your goals. Surrounding yourself with a healing aroma won’t fix this of course, but it could subliminally help to ground your thoughts as you catch a little plume of this heavenly jasmine, lavender and sweet basil scent when you least expect it.

Mauli
Sleep Dharma Pillow Mist, £34.00All bets are off in terms of schedules and routines during this strange lull, and your sleep pattern will probably be all over the place too. I’m not suggesting for minute that a pillow mist will whisk you off into an eight-hour snoozefest, but what can happen with consistent use is that you will begin to associate this spectacular garden-herb, nutty and floral-fresh smell with going to bed. You are indicating to your body that it’s time to switch off. This scent is also particularly good at slowing down the fretful 3am hamster-wheel of thoughts. If you’ve yet to treat yourself to the ritualistic joy of a pillow mist, this ayurvedic blend is one of the best out there.
