Promising review: "The best....and so damn affordable!! Got it for a close friend for Christmas who loves her bath time and has reported back that it is the absolute best spa pillow she has ever had for her personal tub. She says 'It never slips, never deflates (cause duh, no air needed), extremely comfortable, easy to install, easy to clean, and helps make bath time what it's supposed to feel like.....a relaxing escape'... was definitely a 'winning' gift Idea!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I love this product! I bought it to keep under my desk at work to help relieve stress and keep up circulation throughout the day. The knobs on the rollers hit exactly the right pressure points and it feels wonderful!" —Melissa A. Syphurs

Promising review: "After reading several reviews, my husband bought this foot massager for me. I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and my foot and heel pain is sometimes unbearable. I've only had this for one day, but I've already used it three times. Each time I found complete relief! The instructions state to not use more than 20 minutes at a time, likely so it does not burn up the motor. There are two buttons- on/off and power button to switch between off/massage/heated massage. The heat feature is great and it really does heat up! For $50, you really can't go wrong!" —S T

Promising review: "Using this thing has definitely been a game changer for me. I sit down in my shower, apply shampoo to my scalp and use circular motions to massage my scalp and it feels sooooooo gosh darn good! I have 3B hair. The silicone bristles are not too soft and not too hard and the hand grip is perfect. I swear, if someone were to use this and massage my scalp for me, I'd probably pass out." —Ella Sans

Promising review: "I'm not sure who looks forward to this box more, me or my dog! I have received two boxes so far and have loved every single item inside! Can't say that for other subscription boxes, and I have tried MANY other subscriptions. My dog is obsessed with the toys that come inside and she loves all the treats! Without a doubt I will have this subscription for a very long time!" —Rebecca

Sure a Hawaiian floral smells nice, but they could use something a little less invigorating.
Promising review: "This is the second time I have ordered this lavender-scented spray. I use it on linens and refresh them while being used. When I spray my bed linens I am able to relax and fall to sleep more rapidly. The scent is long lasting, which makes it more cost efficient." —Margaret S

Promising review: "I have migraines. I got these for that reason but they are nice for sleep, spacing out. These are so nice and comfortable out of the freezer and also at room temp. I have given many of these out as stress reliever gifts to other nurses and techs as a way to disconnect for a few. If they had a 10-pack I would order them just so I had them as spare gifts. I have had several ask where I got them. For a migraine/headache person these are great — no pressure on your eyeballs but the elastic holds pressure just enough to keep me from holding it myself like I often do. The beads inside the mask give just enough cold and pressure without squeezing. Even at room temp the beads are cool. I generally take two Excedrin, put this on, and pass out if my headache is bad." —NursePicky

Reviewers also say they can see "toxins" on the pads when they wake up. But TDLR, lavender is an extremely relaxing scent and there are enough reviewers who speak highly of their soothing ability for helping them drift off to sleep, so they're probably good for that alone!
Promising review: "I found these foot pads very easy to use. I'm on my feet at work for long periods of time and have noticed tension relief in my legs and feet since using the foot pads. I've also noticed a better quality of sleep and more energy in general. I plan to continue using them and would recommend for anyone." —Julie

Promising review: "I’ve had two other jade rollers that both cost about $15 for just the roller - and they were both garbage compared to this one. The jade rolled unevenly, the metal parts kept falling apart. I was fine with it because well, they’re cheap. I lost my last one and went to order a new roller, and this one was a set for the same price of just a roller, so I gave it a shot. Huge difference in quality! This set is amazing, the roller well crafted, the quartz smooth and rolls well without any scraping noise. Highly recommend." —Ro R

Get a four-mask box from Amazon for $4.96 for the first box and $8.90 a month for every box afterward.
Promising review: "The scent is a soft, peaceful one; It does not assault you! It's perfect in strength, not cloying — but absolutely present and accounted for. I have severe anxiety disorder, and some days are fairly hard to get through. I'm not saying that 'Chill Out' essential oil blend takes anxiety away. I can say that the scent dials down some of the feelings of tension, irritability, etc., that I experience, and helps bring me back to a place that's more centered and calm. I wish that the scent was a little longer lasting, but this is truly not a deal-breaker! I will continue to buy this blend!" —Paula Owens

Promising review: "I travel a lot with work and noisy hotels really stress me out! And unfortunately most hotels are not well soundproofed, so this is why this has become my 'must pack' item! It's small, lightweight, and compact, and although it is not as powerful as the original Dohm, it is great for just covering all that annoying noise you get in hotels — TVs and talking from neighboring rooms, slamming doors, vehicles outside, etc." —Mark H.
