The post-Christmas lull doesn’t have to be droll. Did you know there’s a name for this time of year? It’s called Twixmas and it’s known as the perfect time to pause, recharge, and set the tone for the new year ahead. It’s that magical week “betwixt” Christmas and New Year when the hustle slows. Life feels a little softer, you know? What better time to indulge in self-care and treat yourself to gifts that’ll help you reset and start the new year fresh!
This year, we’re celebrating this down time with products inspired by Olay’s “7 Days of Indulgence.” Here’s a list of self-care essentials designed to elevate your downtime for the next seven days and refresh your mind, body, and soul as you prepare to step into 2025.

Sip velvety hot cocoa
Whip up a rich cup of hot chocolate and top with your favorite fluffy topping! We love MoonBrew’s Magnesium Hot Cocoa. Crafted with a blend 11 superfoods and adaptogens, this isn’t your typical hot chocolate. It’s designed to help you feel calm before bed, sleep better, increase your REM cycles, and wake up refreshed! Moonbrew’s blend of Magnesium Glycinate AND Magnesuym Taurate (never melatonin) offers a peaceful, natural way to relax both body and mind.
Cozy up with a mini projector for a movie marathon

Put on your favorite loungewear or pajamas and settle in for a night of streaming. Binge-watch your favorite holiday classics or stream a new favorite. We love this mini projector because it has bluetooth and WiFi capabilities so you can stream your favorite content from anywhere. Use it with your laptop, cell phone, or Fire Stick and enjoy!
Walk in your own winter wonderland
We’ve all heard about the benefits of walking daily. But it can be hard to want to do that during the colder time of year! As they say, the “hot girl” walk must go on, so keep warm with these Performance Ear Warmers from alo. Pair them with your favorite alo styles for the ultimate “treat yourself” self care moment.
Leftovers and lounge for Twixmas
Self care gifts don’t get much better than not having to cook yourself dinner. DoorDash makes that process so easy. Whether it’s a slice of pizza from your favorite spot or house lo mein from the Chinese takeout spot you’ve been meaning to try, indulge in not having to cook the week between Christmas and New Years.
