    28 Things To Help You Feel Less Cooped Up Right Now

    The endlessness of winter has nothing on this internet-beloved light therapy lamp.

    1. A compact light therapy lamp that thousands of reviewers swear by — it mimics the morning sun and give a lil' boost of energy and happiness to anyone spending a lot of time indoors. Bonus: this UV-free bb has three different brightness settings to bring the perfect amount of light to your life.

    2. A rainbow prism suncatcher you can easily hang indoors or out to refract sunlight and make a bunch of teensy little rainbows all over the place, like you're living in your own little magical realm.

    3. An eco-friendly air purifier with a user-friendly design *and* a reusable filter for dust, pollen, smoke, odor, and pet dander. Not only can it help reduce seasonal and pet-related allergies and trap harmful particles in smoke and dust, but you also have the option of adding a drop of essential oil to it to make your whole home smell like a ~lavender field~.

    4. A set of 50,000 (!!) highly popular, 100% biodegradable water beads that are basically microscopic when they arrive, but expand into small, bouncy jelly-like balls when exposed to water, making them perfect for DIY ~at-home spa treatments~.

    5. A night-light projector to make your entire ceiling look like the night sky or calming ocean waves, instantly making any boring room in your house feel like the inside of a space odyssey movie.

    6. An audio sound bar that'll easily convert a living room into your very own home theater — this Alexa-enabled bar is easy to sync to your television or music for the kind of surround sound experience that will feel like you're at a midnight premiere instead of snuggled at home.

    12. Or a set of LED light strips for your home that you can customize the color, brightness, and size of, and control through an app on your phone. You can even customize it to pulse to the beat of whatever music you're playing. Basically your house just became the most exclusive quarantine club in the neighborhood.

    13. A height-adjustable mini trampoline perfect for getting all of the "AFJKGALDJFGLA!!" out of your brain when it's too cold to attempt to do it outside.
