111 0 7 7/111 A B 0 1743980400 0 0 N 0 0 en Meet Jamie & Jayne, Founders of Wild Scottish Sauna <p>When I first stepped into a Wild Scottish Sauna - the heat, sea air, laughter and quiet moments all wrapped together - I knew this was something special.&nbsp;</p> <p>Since moving to Scotland, visiting their saunas (I've been to both Kingsbarns and West Sands so far) has become one of my favourite things to do. Literally.&nbsp; Because it's more than just self care; it’s a moment to reconnect with yourself, with others, and with the wild beauty of this place. A full-body exhale.</p> <p>That’s exactly why I’ve curated Wild Scottish Sauna experiences on We are The Helpful. Because in a world that asks so much of us, gifts that help us rest, reflect and return to ourselves are some of the most impactful we can give. Whether it’s for a new mum, a friend in the thick of it, a group experience to get the gang together or someone who simply needs a reminder they matter - these vouchers are a beautiful gesture of support and spaciousness.</p> <p>Even better, this isn’t just a sauna - it’s a community. Jamie and Jayne have created something truly rare: a space that’s welcoming, inclusive and deeply connected. They bring this business to life with so much intention, care and heart. Every session feels like a warm invitation back to yourself, and maybe even the chance to meet a few new kindred spirits.</p> <p>So if you’re looking for a gift that genuinely supports - body, mind and spirit, or you and your friends are in need of a group catch up - a Wild Scottish Sauna experience might just be it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I’m so proud to bring their offerings onto We are The Helpful. They embody everything we believe in: showing up for ourselves and each other, in ways that actually help.</p> <p>I was lucky to have a chat with the women about their incredible business, and learn a little more.</p> <p>Enjoy x</p> <h4>Meet Wild Scottish Sauna: The Gift of Rest, Nature, and Heartfelt Connection</h4> <p><strong>Introduction:&nbsp;</strong> We are Jamie & Jayne, the founders of Wild Scottish Sauna. Our journey started in the cold waters of the North Sea, where we found both a deep friendship and a shared passion for wellbeing.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Your 'Why': </strong>Wild Scottish Sauna was born from our passion in bringing people together and wanting to feel good physically and mentally. Through Wild Scottish Sauna, we bring the power of heat, cold, and connection to people, creating space for restoration, resilience, and community.&nbsp;We wanted to share what we could feel through hot/cold therapy with others, creating a space where people can slow down, recharge, and experience the simple but profound joy of fire, water, and community.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Wild Scottish Sauna:</strong> We're all about bringing people together through the elemental power of heat and cold. Set against Scotland’s stunning landscapes, our saunas offer a space to pause, breathe, and reconnect - with yourself, with others, and with nature.&nbsp; Whether it’s a sunrise dip, a fireside conversation, or a moment of stillness in the heat, we believe in the healing magic of these simple rituals. Our mission is to enhance wellbeing, and to "let go and breathe"&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: var(--redactor2-fg-heading);"><strong>What Has Been the Most Impactful and Helpful Gift You’ve Received from a Loved One and Why: </strong>The most impactful gift has been time - those unspoken moments where someone truly shows up, listens, and holds space for us. Whether it’s a quiet swim on a tough day or a cosy drink after a cold dook, it’s the presence of our people that means the most. In a world that moves fast, those small, intentional acts of kindness are everything.&nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: var(--redactor2-fg-heading);"><strong>Tell Me 3-4 Words That Best Describe Your Inner Circle:&nbsp;</strong> Steadfast, energising, soulful, wise, kind & honest.&nbsp; We feel very blessed!!</span></p> wild scottish sauna, wild scottish sauna vouchers, sauna gift, gifts for her, founders wild scottish sauna, self care gifts, group gifts, gifts for friends Discover why we've curated Wild Scottish Sauna on We are The Helpful — the ultimate self care experience that supports rest, connection, and community.

110 0 7 7/110 A B 0 1743894000 0 0 N 0 0 en You’re Not Imagining It - This Is Why You’re So Tired <p>You’re holding down a job, a family, a household, a calendar full of life. You’re across the details, the logistics, the emotions, the quiet care that keeps everything moving forward. You often find yourself completely drained.</p> <p>And when you stop to count what you “got done”, it doesn’t always feel like it should add up to this level of exhaustion.&nbsp; You’re not training for an ultra marathon, after all.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>But here’s the truth: it’s not just physical exertion that depletes our energy. We’ve been conditioned to believe that unless we’re ticking boxes or running marathons, we haven’t earned our tiredness. But that doesn’t reflect the reality of our lives.</p> <h4>Finally, Something That Explains It: The Energy Chart by BE Ainsworth*</h4> <p>The Energy Chart offers language for something many of us have felt for years but couldn’t quantify or name. It shows us that energy isn’t just about the physical, but also:</p> <p><strong>Emotional energy:</strong> the kind that goes into caring, worrying, holding space.</p> <p> <strong>Mental energy:</strong> the kind that plans, organises, makes constant decisions.</p> <p> <strong>Social energy:</strong> the energy of conversations, expectations, interactions.</p> <p> <strong>Creative, spiritual, identity-based energy:</strong> all the parts of us being pulled, shaped, and stretched as we grow and care for others.</p> <p>This chart validates the invisible work we do, the energy we give, and why we’re so often running on empty - even if we haven’t left the house.</p> <p>It’s a simple but powerful way to rethink what’s really draining us. This expanded version, developed by Dr. J. Calder and based on the work of Dr. B.E. Ainsworth, includes all types of energy we use up each day. It helps explain why so many of us feel completely wiped, even on the “quiet” days, or when we feel we’re just ‘going through the motions’, because managing decisions, emotions, relationships, and simply <i>holding it all together</i> takes real, invisible effort.&nbsp;</p> <p>Understanding this matters - not just for how we care for ourselves, but how we show up for each other. Because when we start to recognise what’s really costing us energy, we can begin to rest better, support better and gift better, too.</p> <h4>So, What Does This Have to Do with Gifting?</h4> <p>At We are The Helpful, we believe in gifts that truly meet the ones we love where they’re at.&nbsp; And not just for birthdays or Christmas, but the everyday in-betweens; the silent heaviness, the shifts in identity, the deep care that isn’t always seen.</p> <p>Our <i>She Needs</i> gifting philosophy starts with this truth: what she needs might not be a celebration - it might actually be support, or self care or even connection.&nbsp; And when we understand that, gifting becomes a powerful, personal act of care.</p> <h4>Gifts That Ease the Load, Never Add</h4> <p>We curate thoughtful gifts that soothe, restore and support, designed not just to look good, but to feel good, too:</p> <ul><li>Gifts that ease the weight of mental load </li><li>Gifts that offer comfort, even from afar </li><li>Gifts that say “I’ve got you,” when they’re holding it all </li><li>Gifts that take care of them while they're taking care of everyone else</li></ul> <p>Whether it’s for yourself or someone in your inner circle, our curated edits are here to reflect what’s really happening in life, and to gently respond to it.</p> <p>Because helpful gifts aren’t about stuff. They’re about support.&nbsp; And it’s here connection grows, impact is made and we’re reminded that our relationships are truly what make a life.</p> <h4>This Is the New Way to Show Up</h4> <p>We know that showing up for someone can feel hard when you don’t know what to do or say. The truth is, you don’t need to make it perfect or seek approval - you just need to be present in a way that recognises all she’s carrying.</p> <p>And when we begin to see energy in all its forms - and show up and gift in response to that - something shifts.</p> <p>We feel more connected. </p> <p>More understood. </p> <p>Less alone.</p> <p>So whether you’re supporting someone through early motherhood, illness, loss, or just the everyday juggle - or maybe you’re choosing to care for yourself (and if that’s the case, good for you) - we hope you find something that feels like a deep breath.</p> <p>Because being helpful is more than kind.&nbsp; It’s powerful. It’s thoughtful. And it’s exactly what she needs.</p> <p>Kate x</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>*Source: Energy Points Chart adapted by Dr. J.

One of those communities is Buy Women Built, and I’m incredibly proud that We are The Helpful is now part of this movement.</span></p> <p>The statistics around female entrepreneurship in the UK are staggering - and not in a good way. Women are 30% less likely to start a business in the UK compared to the USA, Canada, and the Netherlands. Only 1 in 3 UK entrepreneurs is female, and a shocking 80% of young people aged 11-18 can’t name a single female entrepreneur. That matters because visibility shapes possibility - if young girls don’t see women building businesses, they don’t grow up believing they can do it themselves.</p> <p>This is why Buy Women Built is so important. It’s more than just a directory of female-led businesses; it’s a movement that champions the work of women who are building, innovating, and leading. It shines a light on businesses like mine and so many others, encouraging people to actively support and invest in female founders. Because when women start businesses at the same rate as men, we add an additional £250 billion to the UK economy. That’s not just good for women - it’s good for <em>everyone</em>.</p> <p>For me, We are The Helpful is about more than just gifting. It’s about rethinking how we show up for each other, especially in the moments that truly matter. And in many ways, Buy Women Built embodies that same ethos - championing and celebrating the women who are showing up, doing the work, and changing the landscape of entrepreneurship.</p> <p>So, if you want to make a difference, start by supporting women-led businesses. Seek them out, buy from them, engage with their posts and share their work. Because when we back women, we build a better future for everyone.</p> <p>Check out the <a href="https://buywomenbuilt.com/">Buy Women Built website</a> and explore the incredible businesses that are part of this movement - including We are The Helpful.

Whether it’s pregnancy, postpartum or simply the everyday need for a little extra care, The Sabi embodies what it means to show up in a way that truly matters.&nbsp; And when I say 'show up', I don't only mean gifts for the ones we love, but for ourselves, too (I personally recommend <a href="https://wearethehelpful.com/family-self-care/the-rescue/">The Rescue Set</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://wearethehelpful.com/family-self-care/calming-herbata-infusion/">The Calming Herbata Infusion</a>).</p> <p>I had a chat with Anna, Co-Founder and CEO of The Sabi, to learn more about her journey, the heart behind The Sabi, and the most impactful gift she's ever received.</p> <p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Anna, CEO at The SABI</p> <p><strong>The 'Why' behind the brand:</strong> After the birth of my first son, I suffered with postpartum depression that shook me to my core. It led me to leave a successful career in foreign direct investment and dedicate myself to changing the narrative for women facing hormonal imbalances. I thought I was ready for the ‘fourth trimester,’ but NOTHING could have prepared me for the emotional and physical toll it took. It challenged my identity, strained my relationships, and left me questioning my sense of purpose.&nbsp;</p> <p>For my second postpartum I was equipped with everything I had learned while building SABI, and enjoyed a completely different experience. Now, I’m on a mission to make sure other women don’t have to suffer as I did. I want to provide them with the tools and support they need to navigate their recovery, both physically and emotionally. I love building this business and watching our products and articles make a tangible difference in women’s lives, every day.</p> <p><strong>About The SABI: </strong>The SABI is a science-backed, hormone-conscious, naturopathic brand of skincare and functional herbal infusions to support women through every hormonal phase. With clean, purposeful ingredients, we empower women to balance their hormonal journey with products that nurture, restore, and revive from the inside-out.</p> <p><strong>What's the most impactful gift you've ever received: </strong>During my postpartum period, I cherished every gift I received that was for me, but one gift I particularly remember was a face mist that just helped to refresh me. It wasn’t all-natural - something I know better about now - but it refreshed me and offered a small lift that helped me face those early, exhausting moments, late nights and early mornings. It was a simple reminder of self-care when I needed it most.</p> <p><strong>Describe Your Inner Circle:</strong></p> <ol><li>My business partner!&nbsp; She never stops pushing, checking, and challenging me. She’s the one who brings the hard questions that make me double check myself, and keep me grounded and reflective.</li><li>The hugs and kisses from my boys (2 and 4 years old).&nbsp; They’re my anchors, the ones who bring me back to reality when things get tough. They get me through absolutely everything.</li></ol> Best gifts for new mums UK, Gifts for a new mum after birth, Postpartum care package UK, Gifts for tired mums, The Sabi, Thoughtful get well soon gifts, Self-care gift boxes UK, Relaxation gifts for her, Best gifts for burnout recovery, Wellbeing gifts fo Some brands just get it - what it means to truly support someone through life’s big (and small) moments.

Between work, family, and the never-ending to-do list, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly falling short.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>But let’s get one thing straight: you’re not a sh*t friend - you’re just running on empty. And the best way to show up for the people you love? Start by showing up for yourself.</p> <p>At We are The Helpful, we believe in making thoughtful gifting easier - not just for the ones receiving, but for you too. Because showing up for your inner circle shouldn’t be another thing weighing you down. It should be simple, meaningful, and reflective of who you are and the friendship you share. That’s why we curate helpful gifts designed to meet people exactly where they are - whether they need nourishment, rest, self-care, or just a little reminder that they’re loved.</p> <h4>Why Connection Matters</h4> <p>Strong friendships do more than give us the warm fuzzies - they’re essential for our mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. Connection lowers stress, boosts happiness, and reminds us that we’re not in this alone. When life gets overwhelming, knowing someone sees you can make all the difference.</p> <p>But showing up doesn’t have to be a big gesture, or only reserved for a milestone or birthday. It’s actually the little, thoughtful moments that count. Sending a quick voice note, sharing a meme that makes them laugh, or gifting something that genuinely helps - these are the small but powerful ways we keep friendships strong, even when life is busy.</p> <h4>Easy but Impactful Ways to Show Up for the Sisterhood</h4> <ul><li>Send a voice note: A 30-second message can feel more personal (and less effort) than a text.</li><li>Drop off a small, helpful gift: Their favorite snack, a calming tea, or something from our gifts for her collection that truly supports where they’re at.</li><li>Tag them in a meme: Because shared laughter keeps friendships alive.</li><li>Book the catch-up (and don’t cancel): Even if it’s just a walk or a quick coffee.</li><li>Ask, “What do you need?”: Sometimes, helping is as simple as listening.</li></ul> <p>At We are The Helpful, we take the guesswork out of gifting and make it easier to show up for the people you love - and for yourself.
