The end of December is near and that leaves us with one last thing to do before the world turns another year older – ending 2018 with a thankful heart.

For all of us, anticipating the fresh new year is an exciting time where we pen down our resolutions and goals, hoping to charge forward with this new-found energy in us. But, before we step into the new year, we should not forget to look back and be thankful for what we have received in the past year.

This year end, take the time to reminiscence on all the memorable moments you have experienced, and ask yourself this question.

Who am I thankful to?

It could be a friend who was there with you through a breakup, or a family member who helped you achieve your goals by supporting your financial needs, maybe a kind stranger whom you met while walking down the street. It could be whoever.

For this person you have in mind, it’s time to turn the tables and surprise them with a little something from HYSSES. Think about what they might need in their lives, and how you can help them improve their lives.

There are plenty of ways to improve the lives of the people around you, and it’s pretty simple. If you are not sure of how you can reciprocate their actions to you, here are some suggestions for you.

For the one who needs to chill and relax;

Try calming scents like Rose, Lavender and Jasmine – these essential oils can induce relaxation and improve quality of sleep. If they have been suffering from insomnia or if they have problems with nervousness, anxiety and stress, then these recommended essential oils are the best for them.

For the one who needs to stay fresh all day;

Citrus scents like Grapefruit and Lemon can keep the user smelling clean and fresh. They also have antibacterial properties which are great for killing germs and bacteria. Use it with a bath or mix into a wash load of dirty clothes to get the most out of these oils.

For the one who is always sick;

Sinus and asthma are one of the more common illness which many of us fall prey to. Boost the immune system with Eucalyptus essential oil – the top choice for alleviating respiratory related issues. Apart from Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Rosemaryand Spike Lavender works just as well.

For the outdoor fanatic;

Keeping the skin protected while outdoors can be tricky, but with Lemongrass, you will not be disappointed. Lemongrass contains insect repelling properties which is perfect for nature walks and hiking trips. Not only that, Lemongrass can also tone and tighten the skin, soothing sore muscles from all the outdoor activity. Easy protection – we are sure your recipient will thank you for this!

For the homebody;

If the person you’re giving the gift to is a total opposite of an outdoor fanatic, then go for warm, soothing scents like Ginger, Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang. These oils are warming oils, which means they get warmed up when in contact with the atmosphere. Such oils create a cosy environment that’s best for snuggling in bed.
