Promising Review: "My husband works from home and does a LOT of work from the bathtub (lucky him!). This fits his mug of tea, cell phone, and laptop perfectly! I was worried because our tub is attached to the wall and there is not a lot of tub edge on the wall side, but this fits very securely. He even has room for a book on one side. There is a removable tray for you to lay your cell or a book in. It also looks very stylish." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I’ve been on the hunt for some cozy and comfy house shoes for months because I’m picky. Wanted something cute, practical, affordable, and with reviews I could believe. I stumbled on this listing a month before I finally decided to just buy them. Honestly, I was worried they wouldn’t fit. BUT they do 🥹 and the socks they come with are the cutest + they’re super soft. The rubber sole also has good grip and I don’t slide across my wood floors." —Jazzmine

Promising reviews: "This is very comfy and great to lounge around the house in!" —Chrissy Perkins
"This is the most comfortable thing I've ever worn!!! I love it! I never thought I'd spend this much money on pajamas...I'm too cheap when it comes to clothing...But there were so many glowing reviews I had to try...To my surprise, they fit and feel wonderful! The colors are vibrant, very soft, somewhat stretchy but not too much, wash and dry with no shrinkage, and next to no wrinkles after sitting in the laundry basket. Well worth the extra price! Who'da thunk it? :)" —Amazon Customer
Get the set from Amazon for $37.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 15 colors).
5. A pack of Dermal Korea Collagen sheet masks if your sensitive skin needs some lovin'. It includes masks like aloe to hydrate and charcoal to sooth and repair. And with 16 in a pack, that's less than a dollar for each mask. Yasss 💸
Promising review: "These masks are amazing!!! Having 'ice pick' scars leftover from acne I was told that I'd have to pay for expensive laser therapy because the body can't produce enough collagen to heal deep scars. I've been using these masks for two months and I've seen SIGNIFICANT reduction in my scars. They are almost completely gone!" —Shaun

The NanoSteamer comes with a five-piece blemish and blackhead extractor kit in addition to the facial steamer to help you really get all the dirt that's stuck in your pores. Oh — and the facial steamer doubles as a humidifier and a towel warmer, too!
Promising review: "It takes only seconds to produce steam and I can do it wherever I choose (not just the kitchen table like with the pot of boiling water). My favorite things to do after steaming are mud masks or sheet masks. They work 10 times better after steaming than alone...Aside from skincare, it is great for head colds and stuffy noses. I keep a second one reserved as the family 'de-stuffer.'" —Laura
Get it from Amazon for $39.95.
8. A heated shiatsu foot massager complete with six massage heads, 18 rotating massager nodes, and a pair of very satisfied feet (yours).
Promising review: "I absolutely love this foot massager! I'm a nurse and surely can't get to a spa to get my feet massaged every day but I don't need to now! For the price of one massage I can now COME home every day after work and ease my knotted up feet and feel SO MUCH BETTER. If you are on the fence about buying don't be, I assure this is an awesome product!" —Barb

Read more about the effects of weighted blankets at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my wife a few weeks ago — she was very skeptical when she opened the box and took it out, but since then she has used it every night and she absolutely loves it! It does help her relax and sleep better." —Max G

Promising reviews: "The best blanket. Amazingly soft, and super stretchy! This blanket is big, my partner and I can share it on opposite sides of our couch." —htxcatxdad
"This blanket feels like butter, it’s extremely soft. It’s surprisingly long and will cover a queen bed. I was on the fence because of the price but it definitely lived up to it’s hype." —KarenAmor
Get it from Nordstrom for $147 (available in four solid colors and multiple leopard print options).
Reviews agree the OG Barefoot Dreams throw is *amazing* and well worth the price, but if the total is too hefty for ya, Amazon has a great cheaper-yet-similar option for under $50!
12. An adult coloring book complete with 45 pages of calming patterns specifically created to encourage stress relief.
Make sure to get a vibrant set of colored pencils too! These bestsellers are only $11.99 for a pack of 50.
Promising reviews: "This has instantly became my favorite! Different levels of detailing from page to page so that you have options to fit your mood. Pages thick enough to use gel pens and not bleed through to the next page. LOTS of pages, so many to choose from. Book has easily two to three times more pages than other books I've bought. Interesting, different patterns." —Cindy B.
"I love this coloring book. It really works to lower stress...I have anxiety and ADD and this really helps calm me down and keep me occupied for an extended period so I can relax and regroup. I keep it in my backpack so that I can have it readily accessible no matter where I go...It provides a focused activity to keep your mind busy [and] there is a sense of accomplishment when you finish a page and make something beautiful." —John Tkalcich

Get 12-pack from on Amazon for $24.95+ (available in two sizes).
14. An ice roller because it not only helps decrease under-eye puffiness, minimize fine lines, and shrink pores, but it can also help relieve headaches (score!) and sore muscles.
Promising review: "I use this ice roller in my aesthetician treatment room after extractions, peels and/or waxing. My clients love it! It drastically reduces inflammation and swelling...thereby leaving the skin in a much healthier state than if I didn't use it. I actually prefer this to my magic globes because of the ease of rolling over the skin. Globes tend to skip/jump if the skin is not properly lubricated with a lot of product. I can apply a calming colloidal oatmeal masque (in powder form) or other setting masque and simply roll right over it. If it is too chilly for your client...simply put a damp esti wipe on the skin as a barrier. Very easy to clean and disinfect between clients." —Chris DeFelice
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 12 colors).
15. A top-rated, soft and cozy Parachute Cloud Cotton Robe you can lounge around in because you deserve it. And yes, it has pockets!
Soooo, to get to the point: yes, this robe is 100% worth it and it has ~earned~ being called a cloud robe. I received the Amber one (a mustard yellow tone) as a Christmas gift a few years ago and it is one of the best robes I've ever owned. For one, the pockets are huge and big enough for my phone, snacks, and my hair ties I constantly lose. Second, it's just really, really comfortable, super soft, lightweight, and very warm! Throwing this on while I make myself a cup of coffee in the mornings is a daily routine of mine. And occasionally putting it on after a shower and wearing it while I apply my face masks is a huuuge step in my self-care routine. If you've been debating on this robe — GET. IT. 👏🏾
Promising reviews: "Truly a cloud. This material is so soft and buttery. Very high quality and super comfy and chic." —Jennifer Z.
"Sweetest little robe I ever owned! I've had many robes, but this soft, lightweight robe is by far my favorite. I will definitely be purchasing more...for myself and as gifts for others." —Johanna H.
Get it from Parachute for $109 (available in unisex sizes XS–3X and in seven colors).
16. A tea sampler box with your favorite flavors, both caffeinated and non-caffeinated! It's complete with eight different assortments (48 tea bags total) like chamomile — the relaxing tea perfect before bed, green tea with jasmine when you want a flavorful pick-me-up, and more.
Promising review: "Every single tea in this selection is beautiful! I even loved the lemon and orange and I do not like anything of an orange derivative because it always tastes artificial. This was absolutely lovely! The teas are very smooth and mellow, very flavor forward. No overwhelming acidity or bitterness — even if you're like me and forget to take the tea bag out! It's a proper cup of tea for each varietal. It came well packaged in a lovely box that is very giftable. This was a value that well exceeded the price. I HIGHLY recommend this selection of teas! I am ordering more for birthdays and such. And especially more for me! Get this!" —Shonda C.
Get it from Amazon for $12.49.
17. A luxurious French linen sheet set to turn your favorite place (your bed, duh) into the oasis it should be. This set comes complete with a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases — each made of breathable, cooling, and moisture-wicking fabric.
I own these sheets and they're awesome! They've got a very high-quality feel, are super soft to sleep in, and I can confirm they're breathable and cooling, too. And as a hot sleeper — that's a must for me. The color I purchased was the pure flax/linen color and they look so luxe in person!
Promising review: "I really hate slippery, synthetic sheets and I was having trouble sleeping because I was too hot. These are so wonderfully cooling and feel natural to the touch, I’m really looking forward to using them for a while." —Renee
"LOVE these sheets! Great value for the money. A little rough at first but after the first wash they are significantly softer. Been using these for a year now and they have held up very well. I don’t know if I would go back to just cotton, these are just so cozy! " —Skye
Get the French Linen set from Amazon for $136.99 (available in four sizes and nine colors). Also available in a linen-blend set for $64.99+ (available in five sizes and in 11 colors).
18. A reusable neck and shoulder wrap you can throw in the microwave for soothing heat or freeze for extra cold relief. And for an even more relaxing experience, it's also filled with chamomile, lemongrass, peppermint, and lavender to create the perfect smelling environment to chillax in.
19. A pair of noise-reduction earplugs that'll drown out any loud neighbors, barking dogs, and other distractions on *your* relaxation day. During the rest of the week, these can also help you focus, protect your hearing at loud events, or just help limit loud noises in general for your sensitive ears. Plus, they're kinda stylish too!
The earplugs also come with a carrying case and eight different ear tips (XS–L) to ensure the perfect fit.
Promising review: "These earplugs are awesome. I can have them in all day, and they are so comfortable. They have changed my life honestly. I am very sensitive to certain noises, which is very stressful. However, these earplugs are great. They drown out the annoying noises. I can still have conversations with people and listen to music and watch tv without being overwhelmed by background noise! Also by people eating! I also think that they have improved my focus a lot too. When I have them in, my brain isn't distracted by what's going on in the background, so I can focus better on what's in front of me." —Oana
Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in five colors). A silicone super-soft version is also available for $24.95 (available in nine colors).
20. A foot spa featuring bubbles, raised massage nodes, and a removable pumice stone. All you need to do is add in hot water (or your preferred temperature), then sit back, relax, and chill out.
Promising reviews: "I got this for my mom for her birthday and she loves it. Super easy to clean and puts out some serious bubbles without being too loud. The pumice stone is also great and makes it easy to scrub those tougher areas as well as the massaging nodes on the bottom. If you want a warm foot bath just fill it with warm water and it will stay warm. Overall a great little machine and would highly recommend!" —Kim
"After a long day of hard work, this foot spa is the perfect remedy. It’s is very relaxing and spacious for my feet. I like to include my favorite great-smelling foot bath salts that leave my feet feeling refreshed and smooth...[It's] easy to clean and anyone will appreciate this as a gift! It’s a must-have!" —TheGorgeousShopper
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
21. Sukin's Super Greens Detoxifying Clay Masque with all-natural and vegan ingredients like avocado oil, kale, and parsley. This facial mask will wash away the stress of a hectic day (while clearing out your pores at the same time).
I'm currently on my second jar of this face mask — it's that good. For best results I suggest keeping it on for at least 15 minutes (or at least until it's super dry). To get an even more refreshing feeling, apply after a nice hot shower! Your skin will thank you.
Promising review: "Three months ago I decided to take skin care seriously and wanted natural products...I am a 26-year-old woman with combination, sensitive, acne-prone skin. Maybe I've just never used a decent masque before, but this one is incredible and so far superior to the garbage I can't believe I previously used. Washes off nicely and leaves my skin feelings amazingly soft; plus, of course, the ingredients!" —Kamai
22. A jade roller and gua sha set because it's a simple, easy-to-use beauty tool. The muscle-relaxing, fine-line-reducing jade stone is something that you can use while watching TV, reading, or after your nighttime routine.
Promising review: "So far I'm really enjoying this product! Both the roller and gua sha tool seem to be made out of real jade and are high quality. I got these because my face tends to get really puffy, especially during allergy season. They come in neat a package with clear instructions. I watched several additional YouTube videos about how to use them. I use the gua sha tool once a day and go through the full routine, and the jade roller throughout the day while I'm working or watching TV in the evening. I've had them for a pretty short time but I feel like I'm already noticing a difference. If nothing else it's a very soothing and relaxing habit. I'd definitely recommend it to a friend or give the set as a gift in the future!" —Grace KB
Get it from Amazon for $7.94 (also available in rose quartz).

23. A remote-controlled essential oil diffuser and humidifier that will have your home smelling like lavender, citrus, or whatever your relaxing scent of choice may be. This diffuser can run continuously for hours and has an auto-shutoff feature perfect for when you forget about it.
And yes, those transitioning LED lights can be switched off too.
According to the NIH, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils.
Promising review: "Wanting a larger capacity, for less refills, this unit is great. Can run for hours, even all day, and not run dry and I live in the desert. Filling with water and adding 10 drops of oil, and you can definitely tell it's working with the scent flowing through the air. The night-light is also nice, allowing a simple background light in the room. After purchasing I was telling a friend, and they have had the same model for a few years now. Well worth the purchase." —Anthony G.
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in five base colors).
24. And a relax essential oil blend or an uplift essential oil blend, depending on the kind of day you're having.

25. A stainless-steel rainfall shower head that'll transform your bathroom in the best way. Who said you can't have bougie, spa-level showers every day?
Promising review: "This is a beautiful shower head, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The shower head has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a shower head?" —Sadda Reddy

Promising reviews: "Amazing set!! This is soo easy to follow and I’d absolutely recommend it for beginners! I’ve NEVER done embroidery before and these designs are the first I’ve ever done. Each of the three designs comes with its own set of embroidery floss sets and three needles each AND they come with a detailed how-to paper for instructions on how to make each of the stitches needed for the designs. I’d absolutely recommend this for anyone wanting to start embroidering!" —Erika H

Get it from Uncommon Goods for $15 (available in four scents).
28. A flowy three-piece lounge set you can wear to bed, lounge around the house in, and even toss on some heels to grab a quick drink on a night out (because sometimes unwinding means venting to your besties over wine). Yep, it's ~that~ versatile and is just as luxurious as it is comfortable.

Promising review: "I absolutely adore this set. It feels great and I feel so luxurious in it. I'm a hippy, tall girl and it fit perfectly." —Sharifah Davis

29. A scalp massager made to cleanse and exfoliate your scalp. The soft, thick bristles feel SO relaxing and are designed to stimulate blood flow and remove dead skin, dried shampoo, and other unwanted stuff on your scalp.
Promising review: "This little brush is amazing. I have struggled with flakes for awhile, and have tried various products and techniques to eliminate it-even SCRUBBING my head with a scratchy bristle brush pre-shower, all to no avail. THIS SHAMPOO BRUSH DID THE TRICK IN ONE WASH. I would brush, shampoo, condition, blow dry and would see the flakes over my entire head immediately. After using this brush ONCE, I saw maybe two flakes TOTAL. I changed nothing else. Same shampoo and conditioner, same product and brushes to dry and style. I used this massage brush both for the shampoo and for the conditioner. I worked it from front to back instead of in a circular motion to avoid tangling my long hair. As an added bonus, it feels amazing. Very relaxing and luxurious. Much nicer than fingertips or nails. Overall, I really can't think of a scenario when this WOULDN'T be a good purchase." —Full of Sunshine
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
30. A waterproof Kindle Paperwhite for when you want to read in the bathtub, in the hot tub, or just while you're moving around the house non-stop. It's got an adjustable built-in light and an anti-glare screen, so no worries about reading at night or out in the bright sun.
Promising review: "There’s honestly nothing that I dislike about this Kindle... I haven’t encountered a single issue like I have with other versions. It’s easy to set up and easy to use. You can buy the Kindle membership for $12 a month and read whatever you want or you can just buy the books you want for $5 a piece to keep. Everyone has different preferences. The Kindle runs smoothly and the graphics have come a long way from the original Kindles. I have nothing to say other than if you love reading, get it. Best purchase I’ve made in a while to treat myself." —Kylee Boiseau
Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available with 8- or 16GB and in three colors).
31. A backrest pillow filled with memory foam that'll support you while lounging around the house. Movies in bed, puzzling on the floor — you name it.
Promising review: "I bought this based on other reviews. There are cheaper products you can buy, but this one is quality. You get what you pay for. I was skeptical because it comes in a small box, and when you unwrap it the foam is compressed, and it looks like garbage. However, after you take the time to fluff it up and let the foam expand, it is amazing. Don't be fooled! I am actually using it as I write this review. A+ product." —Meghan R.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three sizes and in grey and navy).

It’s a beautiful color too. It’s been great for my eye pain and for headaches. It's so soothing I don't want to take it off!

"This tiny machine is loud enough to drown out annoying neighbors throwing loud parties somewhere, it drowns out my sisters dog's unnecessarily loud barking, and I’m at peace. I’m now deeply attached to this product as I’ve always had chronic sleep problems and have sensory issues. My sleep environment is so chill now, I can actually tell a difference in my sleep quality cause I go into a deep sleep and wake up like an ancient god that slept a thousand years. Best investment ever. Also cool sounds too." —Paloma
Get it from Amazon for $21.99.

Read more about weighted sleep eye masks and their benefits at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "This is the best sleep mask I’ve ever tried. It’s not too heavy, but enough to feel relaxing. When you place them right they block all light even around the nose and the sides. The strap is comfortable and not too tight, and the weight of the mask helps keep it in place. They help a lot when I get migraines. You can also put this in the freezer and let it get cold and it’s very soothing. It holds the cold pretty well...I can open my eyes while I’m wearing this and be in complete darkness without irritating my eyelids or eyelashes. I use this every night and I would definitely recommend this to others." —Liz
