1. A neck and shoulder relaxer if you often find yourself at the end of the day with a stiff, uncomfortable neck and shoulders that just can't relax. Reviewers say this helps give them relief from pain that comes from side sleeping, prolonged computer use, and migraines.
2. An itty-bitty Theragun Mini to help give you sweet relief after a long workout. Use this to massage any achy or sore muscles – it's designed to help you recover faster so you can get back to pumping iron.
BuzzFeed editor Melanie Aman loves her Theragun Mini for post-workout relief:
"Exercising has been a huge boost to my mental health during quarantine, but the DOMS man — the DOMS hurt like hell!! I'm talking hurts to walk, hurts to lower myself and sit, hurts to stand up, hurts to lift things heavier than a stuffed animal, hurts to exist. I learned early on that this little gadget was suuuuuuuuper helpful in reducing my discomfort and loosening my tight, angry muscles. While jackhammering my calves and thighs is not an incredibly fun experience (TBH it hurts especially when I'm massaging already sore muscles), I know the next day I'll wake up with significantly less pain."
Get it from Amazon for $199 (available in three colors).
3. A tube of freeze gel that's the seemingly magical salve your skin needs whenever you have a sunburn or irritation. The spearmint and aloe vera create a refreshing feeling on your skin.
4. A facial ice roller you can keep in the freezer and whip out to roll on your neck and forehead to help give you sweet relief from dreaded migraines. It also reduces puffiness on your face when you wake up in the morning.
5. A bottle of Drop It, which naturally reduces wine sulfates and tannins so you're less likely to wake up with a headache in the morning. All you have to do is add a few drops to your glass, swirl it around for about 20 seconds, and then you can sip away without the fear of a hangover!
6. A cushioned foam acupressure mat and pillow set you'll want to keep in your home office so you can lie on it whenever you start to get stress-related neck and back pain. Even just a few minutes on this thing can help relieve pressure points and make you feel more relaxed and ready to conquer your day.
And all you have to do is lie there — no trip to the acupuncturist or masseuse required! Many reviewers also claim that this mat can help you deal with insomnia. Read more about acupressure and stress at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "This thing is awesome! Yes, it can hurt, especially on those really tight areas, but I love it anyway. You can feel the blood start racing through your body, great for circulation. Takes a few minutes to adjust your body to the right position when lying on your back. I lay on it in all different ways. Pull your legs up when on your back to get the middle of your back and spine. I love standing on it — the hip area hurts but I do it anyway. If you're really a trooper, kneel on it. I use it almost every day and I only wear underwear when I use it. This was a great price and it came with a bolster pillow. I've ordered more for friends." —K***y
Get the set from Amazon for $24.94+ (available in 10 colors).

7. A heat/cold wrap with a brilliant design that covers the entirety of your neck and shoulders at the same time so you don't have to constantly readjust it as it slides down.
8. A knee pillow if you're a lifelong side sleeper who also has experienced essentially lifelong back, hip, or knee from sleeping on your side. This will help get you in better spinal alignment so you can sleep better, and you just might not wake up clutching your back like you usually do.
9. A roll-on migraine stick — many reviewers say it helps give them relief from migraine symptoms that can often stop them in their tracks and derail their day. Apply to your temples, forehead, and back of the neck at the first sign of a migraine.
10. A sunburn soother if you find yourself feeling a bit burnt after a long day soaking up the sun. Apply this all over the sunburnt area as soon as possible to help give you sweet relief from the pain, itching, and heat.
11. A reusable hot/cold pack for your jaw for anyone who suffers from jaw pain or tends to grind their teeth. Sure, you might feel a tad silly wearing this around your head, but just wear this while you're at home catching up on your favorite reality shows!
12. A pain management journal download especially helpful for anyone who's trying to pinpoint any patterns or triggers in their aches and pains. Now you can take a record of all your pain episodes directly to your doctor so they can help uncover what's causing your problems.
13. A hip belt that helps stabilize your sacroiliac joint — never heard of it? It might be what's causing your sciatic, pelvic, back, or leg pain! This can help reduce inflammation of the joint, and it's comfortable enough to wear all day long!
14. A seat cushion made with orthopedic gel and memory foam to keep your derrière feeling comfy during a 10-hour workday or a long road trip. It's like sitting on clouds!
15. A pair of compression gloves — they could help if your desk job leaves your hands all cramped up thanks to how much time you spend type, type, typing away. Now you can keep up with all your emails and reports!
16. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution that fights against annoying razor burn, pesky ingrown hairs, and irritating rashes. It's especially helpful in those problem areas like armpits and your bikini line that tend to get irritated easily.
17. A ridiculously cute microwaveable stuffed animal with the dual function of being a heating pad for cramps and muscle aches. Next time you're feeling achy, give this cutie a nice squeeze for some physical relief and a quick hit of joy (look how cute they are, after all!).
18. A pair of game-changing memory foam slippers that will make you feel like you're walking on clouds as you wear them around the house. These have a durable solid sole, which means you'll never slip and slide on hardwood floors.
19. A neuropathy cream for helping you relieve any localized pain you might be feeling, like a stiff joint or a pinched nerve. The blend of castor oil, valerian root, peppermint, and hemp flower work together to help you feel better in no time.
20. A rotating, heated back and neck massager so you can feel like you're at the spa getting a five-star massage even though you're still on your couch that's littered with Cheerios, screaming children, and the laundry you still have to fold.
21. A podiatrist-level toenail clipper that is much better at easily cutting thick toenails than traditional clippers. It can also help you dig out those awful ingrown toenails before they get too painful or even worse, infected!
22. A memory foam gel pad so your wrists won't feel so cramped and in pain as you hover your hands over your keyboard and use a mouse for the entirety of your eight-hour workday.
23. A compression foot sleeve — reviewers say the tight compression helps do wonders for foot pain they feel, and that it can be especially helpful if you're traveling and know you'll be on your feet all day.
24. A set of desk-themed heat therapy rice pads if all your aches and pains seem to be work-related (listen: we get it!) This set is designed to target all the most common trouble spots like your neck, wrist, and even your feet!
25. A spiky massage ball designed to soothe tight muscles in the foot and back — the spikes really get into your cramped muscles to work them out. You can also use it to get a quick massage on other parts of your body too, like your knees or hamstrings.
26. A cozy weighted blanket for restless or anxious sleepers looking for a way to calm down and feel comforted. It uses glass beads to conform to the shape of your body, which also helps give you relief from any muscle soreness or aches you might feel.
27. A full body pillow — sure, it's designed for pregnant people, but anyone would benefit from snuggling up with this wrap-around pillow that will support nearly any part of your body during your slumber.
28. A plush memory foam mattress topper if your lumpy, bumpy mattress just isn't cutting it anymore and you want an upgraded sleeping experience without having to buy an entirely new mattress. You just might wake up without any of your usual aches, pains, and stiff joints after sleeping on this!
