Sponsored post | De-stress with a Pause Subscription Box

Iona Bower April 2, 2025

April is Stress Awareness Month and a great time to think about how we can live more mindfully. A monthly subscription to a Pause box, packed with activities to boost wellbeing, while supporting the mental health charity Mind, is a wonderful gift to help you (or a loved one) alleviate stress.

Life can get busy, so how wonderful would it be to pause everything, take a deep breath and give yourself a moment of calm every month? Well now you can with Pause, a monthly subscription box delivered direct to your door, which provides a mindful, creative and relaxing outlet. Designed to boost wellbeing, it helps to support Mind, the mental health charity, too.

Each Pause box provides a fun and calming activity, enabling you to take time out and focus fully on a unique craft or hobby. With something different every month, there will undoubtedly be new ideas you may not have tried before, each designed to help you relax, reflect and get creative.

A little something to look forward to and delivered straight to your home, Pause is an ideal opportunity to take time to acknowledge how you’re feeling every month and to check in with yourself. The simple act of completing an activity or learning something new can give you a boost, helping to improve self-esteem and wellbeing. Not only that, by sharing your newfound skills or simply talking about them to others can also help to alleviate any disconnection you may be feeling.

You could also gift a loved one a regular moment of calm with a Pause subscription. Starting from just £8 a month over the course of a year, each subscription includes a free gift message and free delivery to their home, so they can enjoy discovering new activities at their leisure.

Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. By subscribing to Pause, all of your donation will go to Mind, meaning you’ll be helping those who need it, as well as giving yourself or a loved one a wellbeing boost. Your donation could help someone access life-saving information through booklets, Mind’s website or help lines. Or it could help fund Side by Side, Mind’s 24/7 online community. It could also help to campaign for better mental health services. All donations help Mind continue its vital work.

So pause, take a moment and treat yourself or a loved one to a more mindful future – and help make sure that no one has to face a mental health problem alone. Start a Pause subscription today.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
