    46 Little Things To Help You Unwind At The End Of The Day

    Leave all your stress and worries at your front door by turning your place into a relaxing, calming oasis.

    1. A pair of ultra-thin, super-soft wireless sleep headphones if you like listening to music or podcasts as you fall asleep, but don't like how uncomfortable regular headphones feel on your ears as you lie on your pillow. Go ahead and put on that relaxing playlist you love to listen to as you drift off to sleep!

    2. A bottle of Dr Teal's soothing Epsom salt to transform tub time into a spa-like experience. The Epsom salts and the lavender essence work together to calm and relax you, which is especially wonderful after a long day.

    3. Plus a set of 50,000 (yes, really!)100% biodegradable water beads if you want to go fully IN on a relaxing night soaking in your tub. They're super-duper tiny in the container, but once you drop them in water, they expand and get squishy!

    4. A collapsible microwave popcorn maker so you can pair your night of catching up on your fave reality show with the most delicious snack! This is 10 times better than the microwave popcorn packets you can get in stores — you can add your own real butter in this as well as any spices for a truly delicious result.

    5. And you can't forget this popcorn salt that's the secret to making your popcorn taste as salty and buttery as movie theater popcorn. We're serious when we say your at-home popcorn experience will never be the same after using this magical salt! Be warned though — a little goes a long way!

    6. A pretty pastel paint-by-number if you're looking for a super soothing way to spend the night in. You'll love seeing the painting slowly form as you focus on filling in all the small spaces, and you can even listen to your favorite podcast or a good audiobook while doing it.

    7. A shampoo scalp massager that will give your head a much-needed scrub in the shower. Not only will it help with dandruff and build-up, but it will also leave you feeling so relaxed.

    8. A cultural icon-themed candle, which will pair with your night's plans perfectly, whether you want to have a living room dance party jamming out to "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" or watch 10 episodes of l Love Lucy.

    9. Plus a rose gold rechargeable electric lighter so you can transition into full candlelit mode in a matter of seconds. Plus: you'll never have to worry about finding matches (or burning yourself with said matches) whenever you want to light a candle.

    10. 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!

    11. A mini illuminated relaxation waterfall because after a 10-hour day at the office, staring at this mesmerizing waterfall might be the only thing you have energy for.

    12. A beginner's embroidery kit for adults to keep your hands busy on lazy nights at home. And when you've completed the design, you'll now have a pretty piece of home decor to hang up and admire.

    13. A "cat dancer" toy if your cat has a box full of toys they have absolutely no interest in. Even though this is basically just a spring steel wire with rolled cardboard on the end, they are bound to have a blast pouncing on it — and you'll have just as much fun watching them do it.

    14. A wireless, Bluetooth-enabled karaoke mic so you and your best friends can pretend you're headlining a sold-out concert. I would personally use this to sing through the entire Mamma Mia! soundtrack, but that's just me!

    15. A small selection of European chocolates because being an adult means you can reward yourself with a lil treat after sending an email, doing your chores, cooking dinner....pretty much anything. You deserve it!

    16. A dream balm if you have trouble winding down when it's bedtime. Just rub the balm on your temples and wrists, and the calming herbs and essential oils will help you drift off to snoozetown with ease.

    17. A helpful daily planner so you don't spend the whole night spiraling as you think of all the things you have to do tomorrow. Instead, whenever you remember an upcoming task, just write it down, forget about it until tomorrow, and get back to enjoying your time not working.

    A blank page of the planner

    18. Plus a set of eye-popping fine-point pens if you'd like to color-code your tasks on your daily planner page. They're also perfect for bullet journaling or filling in your adult coloring books. Maybe they'll inspire some new artsy hobbies!

    Fine point pens in 18 different colors

    19. A five-year One Line A Day journal, which is ingeniously designed to help even the busiest of people get into journaling. Right before you go to bed, whip out a pen and jot down just one little memory from the day. You'll love having a mini-history of yourself when you're done with it!

    20. A sampler of Avec Drinks' alcohol-free cocktail mix that's guaranteed to take your at-home happy hour to the next level. This fizzy drink contains 80-90% less sugar than traditional mixers like juices or ginger beer, so you can mix it with your favorite spirit without getting that overly sweet jolt many cocktails can give you. Honestly, these are so flavorful, you could even enjoy them on their own!

    21. 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 ruin the rest of their day. Apply to your temples, forehead, and back of the neck at the first sign of a migraine.

    22. A set of Monkey Noodles because sensory toys aren't just for kids — they're for adults who need to destress, too! You can twist, pull, wrap, and squeeze these "noodles" as much as you want until all that tension has left your body.

    23. A bottle of Orly's "Here Comes The Sun" nail polish to brighten up even the darkest of nights with these beautifully radiant color. Skip the neutrals during your next at-home manicure — we're going bold this time!

    24. A 16-pack of Korean face masks because we all need a self-care night at least once a week. Infused with vitamin E and collagen, your skin will feel moisturized and look glowing as you go about the rest of your nightly routine.

    25. A Drinking Animals Coloring Book to doodle in as you catch up on your Netflix queue. Did we mention there are also quick and easy cocktail recipes throughout the book? Might as well make yourself a cocktail to go with all that coloring!

    26. A tin of cocktail sugar or salt to trick yourself into thinking you're drinking at a fancy bar where they charge $16 for a cocktail. Except at home, you can sip on your salt-rimmed margarita while wearing your comfiest PJs and slippers. So much better!

    27. A shower eucalyptus bundle that will add a fun lil' decoration and leave the whole bathroom smell heavenly. The eucalyptus aroma can also help relieve stress, promote relaxation, and even help with congestion if you have a cold.

    28. A pair of wildly comfortable cuffed joggers reviewers say feel buttery soft on their skin, which means you'll be throwing off your work pants approximately two seconds after walking through the door and throwing these on instead.

    29. Or to fully embrace the couch potato life, an oversized sherpa blanket hoodie so dang cozy, you'll wear it so often, your family will forget what you look like sans blanket hoodie.

    30. A pair of glowing light saber chopsticks to ~brighten~ up your take-out sushi or ramen feast. May the Force be with you as you use them to pick up your noodles.

    31. A night-light projector so you can give your bedroom an out-of-this-world makeover. Many reviewers said the purple hue and the lights helped to calm them at night.

    32. A chenille tufted pillow for the nights you want to curl up in your room's corner and read a book on the floor. Now, you can have these super comfy pillows to cushion you!

    Promising review: "I've had some version of a Kindle for just about as long as they've been around; as an avid reader I wouldn't be without one now. I received my new Kindle Paperwhite 11th Gen 8 GB version last week and have already downloaded hundreds of books onto it; knowing I'll never be stuck somewhere without something to read is an amazing feeling, since the larger size still fits into my medium sized purse. I'd worried some about that! Aside from the capacity, my favorite feature hands-down is being able to adjust the warm light depending on the light in the room. Looking at a bright screen can tire out my eyes and give me headaches, and in a dark room the harsh contrast can really bother my eyes to the point I have to stop reading. The warm light option has a wide adjustment range and is just perfect for people with sensitive eyes. I was also surprised how "normal" the larger size felt shortly after I started using it — more like a book as far as number of words per page — and that it's still so lightweight and easy to hold." —Bibliofiler

    Get it from Amazon for $139.99.

    37. A bathtub caddy to transform your bathroom into a luxurious oasis where you can soak all your worries away. It's slip-resistant, has extendable handles, and will keep electronics, candles, and books safe and secure.

    Promising review: "I didn’t take baths for the longest time because I found it inconvenient and couldn’t relax. The few times I took a bath in this tub prior to getting a bath tray, I would put my iPad on the toilet a few feet away out of arms reach. Needless to say I’d be getting up every so often to adjust the volume, change the show, etc. I am so happy I ordered this! I can put my iPad or a book against the metal rest, have a drink, put my phone in the phone holder, and put some decorative candles in the sides. I am now a bath lover and would recommend this product to anyone looking to step up their bath or relaxation routine. I can now relax in the tub and multitask easily! My cat even jumped up on the bath tray while I was in the tub and it was completely sturdy. I’ve bought this as a gift for both my mom and boyfriend's mom because I love this product so much!" —Sierra Ritchie-Gruver

    Get it from Amazon for $37.97+ (available in seven colors).

    38. A mini donut maker because it's seriously a crime almost all donut shops are only open in the morning. When the next midnight donut craving hits, just whip up a batch with this handy device!

    39. 52 Lists For Calm if you're looking for a way to write down your feelings and get centered at the end of the day, but need a little guidance. Filling out lists like "People I Can Talk To" and "My Comfort Objects" can help ease your anxiety and remind you of everything you're grateful for.

    40. A mini trampoline because exercise gives you endorphins, and endorphins make you happy, and jumping up and down on this might just be peaking endorphin-infused happiness.

    41. A starter's weaving kit if you're looking for a nighttime hobby that is both relaxing and productive — you'll get in an easy rhythm as you weave, and you'll end up with a beautiful piece of wall decor at the end!

    42. An ergonomic and compact Shiatsu-style back and neck massager so you can feel like you're at the spa even though you're still on your couch that's littered with Cheerios, screaming children, and the laundry you still have to fold.

    43. A spiral-bound collection of the best New York Times crosswords because if you're someone who loves a quiet Tuesday night with a cup of tea, a pencil, and a crossword, this is basically the holy grail.

    Promising review: "Best Christmas gift my dad ever received. About five years ago, my dad randomly asked if I could stop by the bookstore and see if there were any 'New York Times crossword books, but only the Mondays (because they're the easiest)!' My bookstore trip was unsuccessful, so imagine my surprise when I saw that this book DID exist! My dad, who is impossible to buy gifts for, is blowing through this book and back on his crossword game! He's already bought the Tuesday book." —Lauren

    Get it from Amazon for $11.69 (also available for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — but they get harder as the week goes on, FYI).

    44. A jar of whipped shower icing to turn your shower into a sweetly decadent experience. Rub that luxuriously whipped formula on your body, and you'll be left with clean, fantastic-smelling skin and a craving for a cupcake.

    45. A Baby Yoda puzzle that's made up of 500 pieces, but you might put it together in record time just because you'll want to see Grogu's face that badly.

    46. A mermaid tail blanket if you want to be where the people...aren't. But seriously, cocoon yourself in this comforting blanket, grab your favorite snack, and let all your worries ~float~ away.
