Gift guide: CBD hemp products for caregivers

By Joy Johnston

The holiday season is upon us and that means it's time to find the perfect gift for your loved ones. If you have any caregivers in your life, I have a list of products I recommend. Whether you know someone seeking relief from chronic pain or something to help with anxiety and insomnia, there are CBD hemp products that could potentially help. (Disclaimer: Recipients of CBD gifts should verify with a medical professional that such products are safe for them to consume.)


Why CBD topicals make good gifts for caregivers: Creams, salves, lotions and other topical products can be a great introduction to CBD for a caregiver. The hands of carers often become dry and cracked, because they endure a lot of hand-washing and may be exposed to harsh chemicals in cleaning products.

  • CBD Distillery:  This company offers a CBD salve and cream (each $50). The salve features a soothing blend of CBD and lavender, peppermint, wintergreen, marjoram, eucalyptus and frankincense, among other botanicals. The cream is ideal for dry hands, leaving them soft but not greasy.
