Mode CBD Dream Team ($111.98, value $140)
If your loved one has trouble sleeping, this set could help! The gummies are delicious (which isn’t always the case with CBD gummies) and combine CBD with sleep-inducing ingredients like Melatonin and Valerian Root. If they’re feeling anxious at any point during the day or night, a dropper full of the Nano CBD tincture into their beverage of choice will help calm their mind. I have intermittent sleep problems and have seen success with these products.
