With all the baking, shopping, wrapping and celebrating the holidays bring, resting and sleeping are often the first things to go. And while you can't add hours to someone's day or tuck them in for a good night's sleep at the end of every day, you can spoil them with tidings of comfort and ZZZs by giving gifts that promote solid sleep - or help fake it.

From bedtime routines to early wake-up calls, these gifts celebrate the well-rested and help others join their ranks.

REST EASY

- Fans of CBD say it not only helps ailments, but also works to melt away stress, anxiety and insomnia. CBD, the chemical found in the cannabis plant, is not mind-altering but is said to relax users. Lord Jones says its gumdrop confections promote a calm sense of well-being. Each contains 20 mg of CBD.

GET COZY
