Gift guide

A gift for someone who gets migraines

If someone close to you disappears into a dark room a few times a month, this is the kind of present that gets used instead of stored.

Why it works as a gift

Migraines are awkward to buy for. Anything with a scent can make it worse. Anything with a screen is the last thing they want. And most people who get them regularly have already bought themselves the obvious things.

A cap is the piece they usually do not have, because it is not something you think to buy for yourself until a friend hands you one. It needs no batteries, no refills and no instructions: it goes in the freezer and comes out ready.

The things people worry about when gifting

No added fragrance

The gel is unscented. Scent is a migraine trigger for many people, so this matters more than it sounds.

One size

Stretch knit that goes over the hair and adapts to most adult head shapes. You do not need to know their size.

Nothing to set up

No charging, no app, no replacement parts to buy later.

Arrives fast

Ships from the US, normally 24 to 48 hours, so it works for a late present.

Who it suits

Someone who gets migraines or tension headaches. Someone who works long hours in front of a screen and finishes the day with their eyes aching. Someone who sleeps badly and would use a proper eye mask anyway. New parents, who get very little dark and quiet and appreciate being handed some.

It is also a reasonable gift for someone you do not know that well — it is useful without being personal.

If it is not right

They have 30 days from delivery to send it back, and shipping is free both ways. Nobody has to pretend they love it.

Give one
