The lead-up to Christmas can feel like a whirlwind of wrapping paper, school concerts, and last-minute shopping runs. Amid all the hustle and bustle, it’s easy for us to forget to pause and actually enjoy the season. That’s where a little festive self-care comes in. From cosy nights in your favourite Cachia pyjamas to fun activities that make the whole family smile, taking time for yourself doesn’t just feel good—it makes the season even more magical.
Follow our 12 Nights of Christmas Self Care, in the lead up to Christmas Day, and make this Christmas one to remember. Mark your calendars - we start on the 13th December!
13th December: Christmas Movie Night
Curl up on the couch in your favourite Cachia Christmas pyjamas and enjoy a Christmas classic. Stock up on your favourite snacks to enjoy during the film. We’re thinking gingerbread cookies, mini pavlovas and candy canes!
14th December: Holiday Gratitude Jar
Gather the family and ask everyone to write 5–10 things they’re grateful for this year, or happy memories they want to remember. Pop them into a jar and on Christmas Day, read them out together. It’s a beautiful way to reminisce and appreciate all the little moments of the year.
15th December: Customise your own Christmas Ornaments
Get crafty with the kids or your friends and make simple ornaments that look cute on any tree. Zone out and let your creativity run free. Some ornaments you can decorate include: Wooden shapes painted with festive colours, salt dough shapes stamped with holiday designs or clear baubles filled with glitter or tiny pom-poms
16th December: Christmas Light Drive
Load up the kids or your besties and go for a drive to see the local Christmas lights. Play your favourite festive tunes and watch their faces light up with wonder—it’s magical for all ages!
17th December: Gingerbread Decorating
Skip the baking stress and grab a gingerbread decorating pack. It’s a fun, hands-on activity for the kids (and adults!) that doubles as a delicious treat. You can easily pick up a Gingerbread House Kit at your local Woolworths!
18th December: Create Your Christmas Wishlist
Take some time for a little online window shopping and make your wishlist. Curl up on the couch or in bed in your comfiest Cachia pyjamas, and don’t forget to add a few of your own Christmas treats—like that pyjama set you’ve been eyeing off!
19th December: DIY Holiday Candle Making
A simple candle-making set and some festive oils like vanilla, pine, or cinnamon can give you a cosy evening of crafting. The best part? These candles make gorgeous and practical gifts too!
20th December: Bath Soak
Take a moment for yourself with a luxurious bath. Light some Christmas candles you’ve made, add bubbles or bath salts, dim the lights, and stream a festive movie on your iPad (just remember to turn the exhaust fan on!). Curl up in your pyjamas after for the ultimate cosy finish.
21st December: Make a Festive Christmas Cocktail
Try a simple cocktail to make the evening feel extra special. Our favourite is a sparkling cranberry spritzer! Combine cranberry juice, sparkling wine (or sparkling water for non-alcoholic version), and a splash of lime. Garnish with fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary.
22nd December: Holiday Mani-Pedi
Whether you head to your local salon or do it at home, paint your nails red, green, or gold in time for Christmas Day. It’s a little festive pampering that goes a long way.
23rd December: DIY Christmas Cards
Get creative this year and make your own Christmas cards, it’s a thoughtful touch your loved ones will appreciate. Finish them off with heartfelt messages.
24th December: Have an Early Night
Finally, the night before Christmas, make sure to get to bed early. After all the holiday buzz, a good night’s sleep in your soft, cosy pyjamas is the perfect way to wake up refreshed and ready for Santa!
The holidays should be about joy, connection, and a little bit of indulgence for yourself too. With these simple self-care ideas and the comfort of Cachia sleepwear, you can create festive moments that are relaxing, meaningful, and full of warmth. After all, the best memories are made when you feel cosy, cared for, and truly present with the people you love.
