11 Simple Gifts to Treat Yourself During a Military Deployment

There is a lot of hype about spoiling your military service member when they’re deployed with epic care packages, but who is taking care of you? Over here we’re team TREAT YO’ SELF and have put together some luxurious treats we adore at a variety of price points you can buy yourself to comfort you through this season of military life or can forward to your support system looking for ideas to spoil you a bit!

Hair Treatment

Kirstin just recently snagged THIS leave-in conditioning treatment after loving THIS product from the same brand and it was life-changing just on the first use! Why not give your hair the moment it deserves, then master life with your new silky locks before your significant other returns? We are here for it!

And, if you haven’t tried their shampoo and conditioner (HERE), you’re really missing out – it’s like a hair salon hair wash experience every single time we use it! Our version of “the highest praise” is when we are able to convince each other to buy and obsess over a product as well so we are proud to say that now BOTH of us are stans over this brand!

Coconut and Soy Wax Candles

If you have been in one of our homes at any given time, you will find us burning a candle. Specifically a SWAE candle. SWAE is veteran-owned and operated and created natural coconut and soy wax candles that are 100% additive free! Meaning they are safe for everyone, including pets and children. Truly some of the longest-burning and best-smelling candles we have ever gotten out hands on. Bonus, we collaborated with them to great a few candles of our own and THIS ONE for sure will give you a good laugh at the label, all while making your home smell incredible!

The Coziest Blanket

Like the BFD blankets but better…because they are more affordable! Truly though, we have both brands and THIS one may even be thicker than the OG. Call us obsessed! Just be warned, you may need two, because when your spouse returns, they will be battling you over it!

Cocktail Glasses

We keep wanting to say “this is THE treat yourself gift” with each item but truly, drinking your favorite cocktail or sparkling water out of a chic glass is the definition of elevated in our minds! THESE glasses are absolutely worthy of changing your cocktail game!

Neck Massager

We are here for bringing the spa into your home, so get your favorite candle (we are partial to veteran-owned SWAE mentioned above!) or essential oils going and grab THIS neck massager. Because milso life can be stressful and you know you’re carrying that stress in your shoulders!

Athleisure Set

When you can feel like you are hanging on by the small thread used to sew velcro onto your loved ones’ name tapes, a new athleisure set could be just what you need to appear, at least, like you are keeping it together. We love love love THIS cozy tee and THIS cozy short combo, better yet you can get 40% off with code WAF40!

Meaningful Jewelry

We are big fans of Charliemadison Originals as a milso-owned business but also for what their bracelets stand for. Such big fans, in fact, that we collaborated on a stunning bracelet. Check it out HERE! They serve as a sweet and delicate reminder of our purpose for a positive mindset and help us keep what’s really important in perspective. This lifestyle isn’t for the faint of heart, and sometimes the best reminder we can receive is knowing we aren’t doing it alone.

Sheet Masks or Eye Masks

The gift that keeps on giving! THESE sheet masks are perfect for having the ultimate girl’s night. Slap one of these on, turn on your favorite trash TV show you save for when your spouse is gone, and grab a beverage of your choosing and *enjoy*. If you’re more of an eye mask girlie, we recommend THESE, toss them in your fridge for an extra soothing treat when you go to put them on!

Silk Pillowcase

We both have THESE pillowcases and can attest to how luxurious it makes you feel to sleep on silk! But also, your hair and face with thank you!

Linen Sheets

At the same time, we both, without knowing about the other, switched to THESE linen sheets, and let us be the first to say that sleeping on linen is an experience. These sheets get softer with every wash and are really just the gift that keeps on giving! You can get a 10% military discount using THIS link.

Coziest Bath Towels

We’ve been on the hunt for years for a cozy bath towel that feels luxe, practical, and affordable. THESE bath towels hit the mark with our 40% off discount code, we personally love THESE waffle fabric but THESE plush towels are a close number two!!
