Everyday Self-care: Lifestyle Rituals | Pocket Wellbeing Book

In stock
Sale price$25.00

The hot drink you make before bed is already a ritual, even if you have never called it one. That is the premise of Everyday Self-care: Lifestyle Rituals, a small hardback from CICO Books that treats looking after yourself as something built from repetition rather than grand gestures.

The book moves through the day in sections, showing how small routines can be shaped on purpose: how to turn a home into somewhere restorative, how to eat with more attention, and how to close the day properly. There are chapters on self-love rituals from long baths to affirmations and mantras, plus practical guidance on building routines that suit your actual life rather than someone else's. It sits comfortably beside the Complete Guide to Self-Care on a bedside stack.

Who is this book for?

Anyone at the start of a wellbeing practice, or anyone whose routines have quietly fallen away. The tone is warm and practical rather than prescriptive, and the format is made for dipping into rather than reading straight through.

How big is it?

Genuinely pocket-sized: 144 pages at 152 x 115mm, hardback, with a soft lilac cover and hand-drawn illustrations throughout. Small enough for a bedside table, a handbag or a Christmas stocking.

As a gift it works hard for its price. Give it to a friend starting a new job, a new mother finding her footing, or someone coming out of a stretch of burnout. Paired with an Ecoya Madison jar candle it becomes a complete little present, and it slots neatly into a hamper alongside anything from our Gift Ideas for the Wellness Guru edit.

Why You'll Love It

  • Rituals you can start tonight, not a programme you have to commit to
  • Covers the whole day, from waking to winding down
  • Pocket-sized hardback that travels well and gifts beautifully
  • Warm, unhurried writing with none of the usual wellness jargon
  • A considered gift that stays comfortably under budget

Where It Lives Best

This is a bedside book. Stack it under a larger-format title so the lilac spine shows, or stand it on a bathroom shelf beside a candle and a small vase. In a guest room it doubles as a quiet welcome. It looks especially good against pale timber and soft neutrals, and next to the other small-format titles in our Books collection.

In short

Everyday Self-care: Lifestyle Rituals is a 144-page pocket hardback from CICO Books showing how small daily routines, from morning habits to evening baths and affirmations, add up to a workable self-care practice. Published by Ryland Peters & Small, it is an affordable, beautifully made wellbeing gift book, available from Flux Boutique in Mount Maunganui with New Zealand-wide shipping.
