LOVE winter? Or maybe not so much? 🌲🌲🌲
I’m in the latter category, more of a spring/summer/autumn lover, I’m constantly clinging to a warm drink (and the sofa!) when the days are short, out come the velvety cushions, the comforting rustic soup recipes, my favourite boots, candles and night lights and ultra-soft heavier bed throws.
So, last winter – after entries had closed for March 2024 – I kept thinking it would be a positive addition for the awards to add some new “Winter Wellness” categories for 2025.
And here we are with just 11 business days left to enter for 2025.
So here they are! ✨🌲✨
They’re already on the Entry Form page, and you’ll find all the 2025 Wellbeing Awards categories after the Beauty categories
(Submit your brand for a 2025 Award here ENTRY FORM)
These new Winter Wellness categories span self-care and beauty books and a variety of winter season categories such as:
BEST WELLNESS BOOK FOR WINTER
BEST FEEL BETTER PRODUCT FOR WINTER
BEST COMFORT AND JOY PRODUCT FOR WINTER
BEST COFFEE SUBSTITUTE
BEST SUPPLEMENT TO LIFT MOOD
BEST SAD LAMP/LIGHT DEVICE
BEST HOME FRAGRANCE – AUTUMN/WINTER
BEST AROMATHERAPY PRODUCT – AUTUMN/WINTER
BEST SELF-CARE BOOK
BEST BEAUTY BOOK
BEST WINTER BATH TREAT
BEST WINTER LIP SAVIOUR
It was a joy to see some brands entering these new categories this morning.
Like many of us, I don’t find winter easy – much as I appreciate the calm serenity of winter morning and those divine chilly bright azure sky days with crisp leaves underfoot, I find the evenings can be isolating (especially if you live alone) and I miss the longer light and brightness of summer days.
So for those of us heading towards winter in the Northern Hemisphere, I hope these categories will provide you with inspirational ideas for your own comforts & joys: new recipes, self-care rituals, new makeup tricks, new aromatherapy blends, blissful bath treats, snuggle-up-on-the sofa books, and more.
Yesterday was the busiest day for entries since 2025 opened.
The standard is very high – and there’s a generous sprinkling of new launches, lots of innovation and some particularly strong natural health entries this year.
Nature is our best tonic, whatever the season 🌿
Wishing you well
