9 Amazing Book Gifts for Highly Sensitives
The highly sensitive people in your life will love these book gifts. Birthdays, Mother’s day, a congratulations or the festive season, whatever the occasion, inspiring books to gift are always welcome.
Books are a great tool to help calm a highly sensitive child . They work a charm for highly sensitive adults for that matter too.
Reading a book provides that quiet time to switch off from the busyness of a day. And that bucket time is something that every highly sensitive needs, young or old.
A book that aids relaxation is better still!
1. Relax Kids Books
The Relax Kids series is a great example of books designed to help children empty their mind. We have Aladdin’s Magic Carpetand it helps my eldest son calm every time we read it.
There are a fair few books and CDs in the series but I have my eye particularly on Relax Kids – Pants of Peace: 52 meditation tools for children
If you are looking for ways to empty your HSC’s bucket this series of books is a great place to start.

The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron is life changing. And I don’t say that lightly. It’s a 12 week program that will reignite your creativity. It’s an international bestseller and millions have gone before you. This is the perfect gift for that highly sensitive creative person in your life.
