    35 Little Gifts To Give Someone Who's Having A Hard Time

    Get by with a little help from our friends.

    1. A scratch paper art set that'll offer a fun and easy way to zone out for awhile.

    2. A set of bath bombs they can toss into the tub to relax, unwind and watch their worries ~fizzle~ away.

    3. An ice roller because it feels good and will remind them that a little self-care is never a bad thing.

    4. carbonated clay mask that detoxifies and exfoliates while making them laugh because it bubbles up and honestly, just looks silly. 

    Promising review: "Wow! I purchased this on a whim after seeing one of my favorite YouTubers try it out. I didn't expect a lot from it. I tried it out and was shocked!!! The mask was simple (and fun) to use. I wasn't sure I felt a lot happening while it was on, but it was pretty cool how the bubbles started to grow off of my face. Upon inspection after using this mask I was completely amazed. My face felt cleaner than it has in a very long time AND my pores looked amazing! I don't remember a time when I felt like my pores looked great before using this mask. I would highly recommend this mask to anyone. It's also so much cheaper than the GlamGlow ones I have been using (and didn't see near these results from)." —Phil Textor

    5. A 48-pack of assorted teas so you can sit down with them and listen to their problems over a comforting, steaming cuppa.

    6. A wine glass holder for the shower because, I mean, ~wine~ not? But really though, maybe a glass of wine in the shower (or a thoughtful gift from a friend who cares) is just what they need.

    7. A Buddha Board for a creative and ephemeral way for them to zen out and express their feelings through art and words.

    8. An embroidery kit for beginners that will provide them with a soothing distraction *and* a pretty art piece when they're done — not to mention a confidence-boosting sense of accomplishment.

    9. A roll-on migraine stick if their hard times come with headaches. This will give them some relief, and hopefully get them back to living their best life.

    10. A pack of affirmation cards that'll help them positively get through each day.

    11. A set of cute sticky notes to leave on their laptop or bathroom mirror that say things like, "Hey, thanks for being you."

    12. A positive wall decal that may help change their mindset, especially when they see it on their wall every day.

    13. A homesick candle for someone who might be missing (as the name implies) the comforts of home.

    14. A little encouragement in the form of a motivational (with a funny twist) keyring.

    15. A "hang in there" three-flavor popcorn tub that'll get a friend through finals (or at least feed them through finals).

    16. A workplace paperweight that speaks its mind so they don't have to.

    17. A badass book that's a New York Times bestseller and will provide them with daily affirmations of badassery.

    18. Or a copy of Jenny Lawson's Furiously Happy that employs humor to deal with the heaviness of depression, and Tiny Beautiful Things, a compilation of advice column Q&As by your discerning new best friend, Cheryl Strayed (aka "Sugar").

    19. A copy of F*ck That that is meant to help the reader find peace with the challenges that surround them — because (according to the book) they are f*cking everywhere.

    20. A Spafinder gift card for a much-needed massage, yoga sesh, makeover, or mini getaway.

    23. A copy of Pick Me Up: A Pep Talk for Now and Later — a guided journal for, well, a little pick me up.

    24. A "Wreck This Journal" that'll encourage them to get more in touch with their artistic side, great if they've always been intimidated by trying to fill out the blank pages of boring old regular journals.

    25. A hair scalp massager that'll quickly become their favorite shower accessory. They can use it to exfoliate and deep clean their scalp while applying shampoo — it's a game changer.

    26. A curtain of twinkle lights that'll make them feel like they're having a slumber party at Tinker Bell's house and create a soothing vibe to help them relax.

    27. A mug warmer, because every day is a little bit brighter when it includes a hot cup of coffee rather than a lukewarm one.

    28. An inexpensive cold brew maker — a must-have for your stressed-out BFF who'll really appreciate having a pick-me-up on hand.

    29. A rapid egg cooker they can use to whip up a delicious and filling breakfast to start their day off on the right foot.

    30. A stainless steel ring that doubles as a fidget spinner that'll help keep your best friend calm, cool, and collected in stressful times.

    31. A teeny tiny Magic 8 Ball your indecisive bestie can use to make decisions on the spot without overthinking it. Should you both stay in bed this weekend? All signs point to yes.

    32. A 750-piece puzzle for your forever stressed-out friend, purrfect for helping them unwind after a day filled with unpleasantries.

    34. A color-changing essential oil diffuser that's perfect if they work from home and could use some aromatherapy throughout the day.

    35. A diamond painting kit to get their mind off their ~real-life~ problems and focus on making Stitch look fab and sparkly instead.
