    44 Things To Help You Relax When You’ve Had A Brutal Day Of Work

    A great collection of pick-me-up items in case it hasn't been your day, your week, or your year.

    1. A bag of powdered cheddar, because if you're like me the moment anything bad happens (big or small) in my day I just want to curl up with a classic "boxed" mac 'n' cheese and de-stress. Perhaps not the healthiest coping mechanism, but it's mine.

    Other reviewers like it in their potatoes, bread, and scrambled eggs.

    Promising review: "My 6-year-old son is super picky with his mac 'n' cheese (as in, would only eat Kraft) so when he had to go gluten free it was one of the things he missed the most. We tried all of the prepackaged gluten-free ones and he hated them. We found that he liked Barilla-brand gluten-free elbow pasta so I needed to find a gluten-free cheese to go with with it. This was a hit! I mixed it with a little milk and butter, and he ate two bowls. This is real cheese, all natural ingredients, and they suggest keeping it refrigerated. I'm glad we finally found a replacement for his mac 'n' cheese!" —Naomi A. Dejesus Howard

    2. A "Liquipen" for anyone who grew up with a lava lamp but knows setting one up at their desk probably isn't *ideal*. Watching the little blobs float up and down will ease your mind and give you a chance to regroup before diving back into a project.

    Promising review: "I broke up the three-pack and gave one pen as a gift for a class gift exchange and put the other two in stockings for Christmas. Good quality and approved by both the 8-year-old and 49-year-old husband who is a kid at heart! Definitely recommend." —Kindle Customer

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $21.99

    3. A set of Monkey Noodles that stretch up to 8 feet (!?!??) and will provide anyone with a non-disruptive way to scratch their fidgety itch. Perfect for anyone looking to relieve some pent up anxiety without leaving their desk.

    Promising review: "This is my absolute favorite fidget! I’m an adult with autism and ADHD. I carry one around with me everywhere I go. It definitely assists me in staying calm/still while I’m at work. I’ve recommended it to several friends!" —KaelynnVP

    Get a set of five from Amazon for $9.99.

    4. Crayola Globbles, a fun lil' gadget you can use to burn off some steam in between meetings or when you just need a quick mental break. Don't worry, they won't leave residue on your walls.

    Promising review: "I waited over two months to write my review! My daughter is four and plays with these DAILY! YES they do attract dirt and hair HOWEVER they are so easy to rinse off, it's not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room which was pretty entertaining! None of these have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!" —Kindle Customer

    5. color-shifting mushroom light because you're a ~fun guy~ and will totally appreciate the cozy lil' cottagecore aesthetic these bring to any room.

    Check out a TikTok of the mushroom nightlight in action. 

    Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice because I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97

    6. Lavender soap you'll pat yourself on the back for buying after the chaos of your day has settled and you find yourself with the time to take a loooooonng, luxurious shower filled with this soothing scent.

    7. An activity book that has been specifically designed for the writer to destroy once they've finished it — you'll get the chance to dig deep into your past, present, and future without any pressure to commit to daily journaling.

    ...and the celestial design on the front is stunning, if I do say so myself.

    Promising review: "This book helps you understand that it’s okay to be completely honest with yourself. The book itself was in great condition with clean pages. I can’t wait to venture more into this lil' journey with myself ♥️" —Molls

    Get it from Amazon for $7,32.

    8. A heated eye massager complete with five different massage modes and Bluetooth music so you can fully indulge and relax while relieving pain from eye strain and headaches.

    Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top-notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in three colors).

    9. A shower phone holder, because why shouldn't we be able to watch endless episodes of The Real Housewives while soaking in the tub?

    Promising review: "This product is the answer to my search for a way to have music or Netflix playing while in the shower! The adhesion quality is great, and it's very easy to use. It fits my iPhone XS Max very well and is very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone!" —Jackie Donovan

    Get it from Amazon for $10.39+ (available in four colors).

    10. A copy of The Big Activity Book for Anxious People, perfect for distracting your brain for a while and forcing you to change your mindset by living in the moment. Definitely a great option to have in your anxiety fighting tool kit.

    Tarcherperigee

    Promising review: "Love this book! I suffer from anxiety and even though I have the coping skills to 'deal' with it, when it rears its head I do get set back a little bit. So I got this book thinking 'okay, it will give me something to do so I can be in the moment' but it is so much more!!! It's funny (makes me laugh out loud), creative, interesting, and reminds me that I am not the only person to feel anxiety and how horrible it can make you feel. So all I have to ask the authors is 'Can you make a book for depression?'" —Catmom

    Get it from Amazon for $14.40.

    11. A carbonated bubble clay mask that starts to bubble once it's applied — get one for you and each of your roomies and prepare for a fun night filled with stress-evaporating giggles (all the while banishing your blackheads).

    A set of nine reviewer selfies in the mask, showing how it goes from flat to super bubbly and fun

    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)." —K. Textor

    Get it from Amazon for $12.

    12. A 10-motor massage mat with a lumbar area that can heat up to 140 degrees in less than eight minutes! It has three vibration intensity levels to choose from... you honestly might want to use it every single day.

    Promising review: "Very easy to use! I like the versatility of the zone settings and varying intensities. The cushioning is quite nice. I lay it down into my La-Z-Boy recliner and it is very relaxing!" —Donna Shreve

    Get it from Amazon for $89.99.

    13. A tabletop fireplace with removable glass so you can enjoy a freshly made s'more any time of year and zone out peacefully while watching the soothing flames dance.

    One Man Garage / Etsy

    You can order this with or without the sand and rocks. The only thing that you will need to purchase separately is the 2.6-oz. gel fuel cans, which you can get from Amazon. 1Man1Garage is a small business based in Nashville, Tennessee.

    Promising review: "Absolutely wonderful! It’s a great little addition to our patio and we decided to use Sterno so we can roast marshmallows! We love the craftsmanship on it and think it is well made! Perfect!!!" —Andrea Lavender

    Get it from 1Man1Garage on Etsy for $27.30.

    14. A subscription to Book of the Month because there are few things as soothing to a bibliophile as cracking open a hardcover book. Mmm, I can smell the freshly printed pages already.

    a book of the month box

    I was gifted a BOTM subscription many years ago and I've stayed loyal since! It's the only subscription service I've kept up with and gifted to multiple people. Each month your gift recipient will be permitted to choose from a selection of books (and more recently, audiobooks!), all of which are different genres. Then the book they select will be delivered to their door. Half of my beautifully color coordinated bookcase is filled with books from BOTM and I couldn't be happier!

    Get three months from Book of the Month for $49.99.

    15. An ice roller, which is said to help decrease under-eye puffiness, minimize fine lines, and shrink the look of pores — as well as to relieve headaches and sore muscles. Your skin will thank you.

    a pink ice roller
    a reviewer rolling the ice roller over their forehead

    This is my favorite thing to start my pampering with, but I also use it in the morning before I apply any makeup. All you have to do is pop the separate roller piece into your freezer and you'll be ready to de-puff in no time.

    Promising review: "I use this ice roller in my esthetician treatment room after extractions, peels and/or waxing. My clients love it! It drastically reduces inflammation and swelling...thereby leaving the skin in a much healthier state than if I didn't use it. I actually prefer this to my magic globes because of the ease of rolling over the skin. Globes tend to skip/jump if the skin is not properly lubricated with a lot of product. I can apply a calming colloidal oatmeal masque (in powder form) or other setting masque and simply roll right over it. If it is too chilly for your client...simply put a damp esti wipe on the skin as a barrier. Very easy to clean and disinfect between clients." —Chris DeFelice

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in nine colors).

    16. A honey lavender tea complete with a comforting lil' note on the tea bag to help ease your mind as you sip and enjoy that warm cozy feeling you can only get from a fresh cup of tea.

    honey lavender stress relief yogi tea
    Amazon

    I've been drinking Yogi tea for years and I've never been disappointed! I love that each tea bag has a motivational message on it — not a necessity, but it's the little things in life, right? The tea itself is delicious and I love sipping on this one when I'm having a particularly stressful day or want to unwind before bed.

    Promising review: "This tea has a mild flavor that I enjoy very much. When I want to relax, or have trouble sleeping, I drink a cup of it and it seems to have a calming effect." —C. J. Benedict

    Get it from Amazon for $15.96.

    17. Or some homemade hot cocoa mix you'd think Mrs. Claus whipped up herself — it's seriously that good. One sip and you'll hear angels singing in your head and forget about your stressors for a few.

    a kerber's farm mug and a jar of cocoa mix
    Kerber's Farm

    I've had a loooooot of hot chocolate in my life and nothing beats the one from Kerber's Farm, a small business in Huntington, New York. It's made with dark cocoa powder, cane sugar, and mini chocolate chips. It also is great for gifting as it comes packed in a cute lil' mason jar. I received it as a gift two years and shared it with my family — we're all in agreement it's the best hot cocoa we've ever had. Oddly enough I ended up moving close to this farm and now my family and can easily stock up for the winter. *AND* if you are local to NYC, they're opening a second location on Bleeker Street! So this hot chocolate can be yours in a New York minute 😉.

    Get it from Kerber's Farm for $18, a gift set from Saks Fifth Avenue for $41 or a gift set from Food52 for $41 (both gift sets come with a mug, the cocoa mix, and mini marshmallows)

    18. A set of bath bombs to toss into the tub and use to unwind after a particularly stressful day and watch your worries ~fizzle~ away.

    12 different colored bath bombs in a box
    Amazon

    Promising review: "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE BATH BOMBS!!!! I think they are fun in terms of the packaging, the names, the colors and the little 'extras' mixed in the bombs. I personally feel they are just the right size and love the colors. The first time around I was concerned about the color part but no worries — doesn't stain the tub. They are very moisturizing for the long tough New York winter we are experiencing this year; my skin tends to be dry but using these bath bombs on a regular basis has helped to keep my skin nice and soft. And the number of bath bombs in the set along with the price is just right!" —Pamela

    Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $26.80.

    19. Or a set of energy-restoring shower steamers you can add into your nightly rinse to transform a typically quick core into a spa-like experience. 

    Promising review: "I kept seeing this product pop up on TikTok so I decided to buy a pack and I'm SO GLAD I DID! These smell so good and are a perfect way to relax while in the shower. I now recommend them to everyone I know!" —Merry

    Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $26.97+ (available in four scents).

    Promising review: "I apply this after shampooing and rake it through my hair with my fingers while my head is flipped over in the shower. My very fine, frizzy 3a/3b curls have tremendously more definition and hold, and less frizz after using. It's amazing that one product can make such a difference!" —Smaug, horder of books

    22. A roll-on migraine stick to nip your pain in the bud before it gets out of hand and ruins the rest of your day.

    I actually did buy this for my best friend when she was starting to get so stressed-out about her daily migraines. It helped immensely!

    Promising review: "I can't give this product enough stars! I have suffered from debilitating chronic migraines for years. Prescription medications, while effective, usually make me extremely tired and result in rebound headaches, so I rarely take them. This oil blend is especially great for the days when I have a migraine, but am unable to stay home and rest. This takes the edge off the pain enough that I am still able to go about my day and do everything I need to do. I also love the way it smells. I sometimes roll it on my wrists just to enjoy the energizing fragrance." —Lacey V

    heart-shaped cookies with fun sayings on them
    Eat Me Cookies

    This woman-owned and operated small business came to life when two sisters were quarantined at their parents' home. They started making these delicious homemade cookie cakes with a twist — their hilarious messaging. I was lucky enough to receive a sample and, honestly, they were so delicious! I'd totally order another one as a surprise for anyone in my life (or myself, TBH) who needs a pick-me-up. The cookie cakes are made fresh, top quality ingredients with no added preservatives. Mine arrived without any cracking and tasted super fresh for days. 

    Get them from Eat Me Cookies for $36.99 (available in 3 flavors and 57 shapes).

    24. A 12-inch foam roller you'll surprisingly get a lot of use of even if your aren't a gym rat. It's perfect for loosening the muscles in your back/legs after sitting at a desk all day (or stress-induced tension).

    I have this little foam roller and use it almost every night. I roll my spine over it and it releases all the tension in a series of very satisfying cracks. Get one — add it into your pre-bedtime ritual!

    Promising review: "My chiropractor recommended I buy the 36" version of this for some daily routine back-stretching to do at home. This product has been amazing for stretching, and massaging sore muscles throughout my back and shoulders. I feel very supported by this roller and have had no issues with it thus far. I weigh 200 pounds and have yet to damage this roller after weeks of use. Overall very pleased with this product. And at such a great price, I honestly can't find a single negative remark to note about it." —Luke Marrs

    Get it from Amazon for $9.03+ (available in four sizes and seven styles).

    25. A waterproof Bluetooth speaker you can clip onto your shower curtain rod and pump in soothing nature sounds to truly give your bathroom a spa-like aesthetic.

    Promising review: "Sounds pretty good for a single little speaker. Battery life is great. Unlike every other Bluetooth device in the world, including other JBL portable speakers, this one stays connected, and disconnected, when I want it to. It looks good, I like the clip, and it seems sufficiently waterproof to hang in my shower (albeit in a relatively dry area of the shower). Perfect in the niche role I've selected it for!" —Jeremy Modjeska

    Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in 12 colors).

    26. A huggable knot pillow unlike anything you've probably seen before — it was designed to delight the senses and help stress dissipate. Added bonus? It'll look super cute as decor in your home!

    Promising review: "I am really enjoying my Hugget! I got it to play with when I’m anxious or fidgety, and it’s been a nice and calm way to distract myself. It seems pretty durable (the knots haven’t loosened yet) and I love how soft it is. I hope to get the large Hugget too someday!" —Minjoo K.

    Get it from Bearaby for $29+ (available in three sizes and five colors).

    27. shampoo scalp massager so even if you only have the time and energy for a quick rinse you'll still be able to indulge in a relaxing scalp massage.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a big fan of this product:

    "I have one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this is a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."

    Promising review: "I can't say enough about this product. I have long hair and I do not wash my hair more than every four to five days. My hair is dry and it doesn't get dirty until nearly a week goes by. However, my scalp is another story. If I have been sweating due to weather or working out, my scalp is going to be accruing dirt. This has been a godsend. This brush does an amazing job of getting my scalp squeaky clean and I don't have to be concerned about that buildup not coming off. I always loved going to the salon for a good scrub of my scalp but it can be expensive to do all the time. This makes it so much easier and I can do it every time I wash my hair. I was having some hair loss and couldn't figure out what was going on other than just stress. Since I started using this, the hair loss has stopped and I actually think my hair is growing better. I wrote an earlier review but I have been using this now for awhile and wanted to update what I said then so this is it. I am buying several more of these for stocking stuffers at Christmas. I know once they use this, they will be thanking me until next Christmas! LOL! ;-)" —KG8

    Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in three colors).

    29. A plush bath pillow, so you can happily lounge and read the novel you've been dying to crack open from cover to cover comfortably.

    Promising review: "This has a lot of cushion for your back and neck. I had no issues with sticking it to the tub. The best part is the hook which allows it to dry out well. In this time of working at home, I need a nice tub to help relax." —Danielle Piacentini

    Get it from Amazon for $37.99.

    30. 1,000-piece Mystic Maze puzzle, perfect for helping you unwind after a day filled with unpleasantries. There are over 50 hidden Easter eggs in this journey of an activity (including a hidden twist at the end!) that'll delight and amaze anyone who works on it.

    Promising review: "This is the second puzzle I've bought from this company, and I loved it as much as the first one. It has really cute images (I’m a sucker for animals doing human things) and each puzzle piece had a different image on it that made assembly pretty easy. The puzzle pieces are cut into fun shapes that made it interesting to see how they fit in. Not to mention the Easter eggs that were scattered throughout. I loved it and will get more puzzles from the company in the future." —Daniela Guerrero

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    31. A massage roller you can use to apply acupressure on the bothersome parts of your feet to make them feel fantastic before heading off to bed. It's so easy to use you can roll away without taking your eyes off of The White Lotus.

    Promising review: "I’ve been having so many issues with my feet the last few years. My feet hurt so bad, it’s made me become a hermit. I’ve had tendinitis in both and now plantar fasciitis. I get foot cramps all the time. After just one day with this under my desk at work, I feel a huge difference. My feet no longer feel tight and painful. They feel tingly — in a good way. I look forward to being able to go for a walk and not have to rest along the way. I know it’s meant for feet but I may try it out on my calves. I also love that it’s small, looks nice and doesn’t slide around. I highly recommended this for anyone, foot issues or not, if you sit a lot. Nice way to keep the blood flowing when stuck at a desk." —Vanessa Thomas

    Get them from Amazon for $11.04.

    35. A Renpho percussion massager — a must-have if you’re forever complaining about the knots in your back and wishing you could take a daily trip to the spa.

    Check out a TikTok of the massager in action. 

    Promising review: "My husband bought me a massage gun for Christmas. I opened it, and it had been used (yuck) so I said, let's return it. My daughter in law got one for Christmas as well. We put an end on each one, and we compared them. Mine was from Sharper Image/Costco, hers was this model Renpho. Mine in comparison was not powerful, did not go as fast, and just didn't do much for me. They look similar but they were NOT. So I returned mine, and I ordered this Renpho. Due to the holidays, there were delays with the shipment. I was soooo disappointed because I was looking forward to trying it on my aching feet with plantar fasciitis. I have tried EVERYTHING for my feet, nothing works and I am always in pain. It came, and I opened the box to find an UNUSED, BRAND-NEW massage gun with all the attachments. I tried it out and I thought wow, that feels AWESOME. But the true test is how do you feel the next day right? You cannot always walk around with a massage gun in your hand. The next day, I felt AMAZING. AMAZING. I used it on my hubby's back too, and he said he felt so much better today as well! In addition, this one is way QUIETER than my original massage gun. It's just really a quality piece. You won't be disappointed in this one. It really is what it says. I know it is hard to choose from all the models on the internet, but this one is the real deal. It's worth the money if you have pain." —L Johnson

    36. An overflow cap that'll ensure your bubble bath stays filled to the brim for the ultimate soaking experience — yes, even if you stay in there for hours and hours.

    Promising review: "Baths have changed for me forever now! I can actually FILL THE TUB and not hear that dreaded sound of half my water (and my expensive magnesium flakes, essential oils, organic bubble baths, and other fancy therapeutic ingredients) tragically vanishing down the drain. If you're a larger person trying to fit in a smaller tub especially, you know...THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. Now, I can take more baths and enjoy more warm coziness. All because of this little bit of silicone!" —anonymous

    Get it from Amazon for $7.79+ (available in nine colors).

    37. Lavender essential oil and a tiny diffuser you can use to fill a smaller space in your home with a soothing scent. Let it wash over you. Breathe in, breathe out.

    38. A WoodWick Trilogy candle complete with layers of different scents — it's like three candles in one! The best part? The wick crackles and sounds like a real fire to create the *coziest* environment possible.

    I'm personally a big fan of these crackling candles — and so is BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower. She said:

    "WoodWick Candles are my husband's #1 favorite candle brand, and he's THE pickiest candle person I know. We both love how they crackle like a campfire and dig every single scent we've tried!"

    Promising review: "Beautiful bubbled glass jars. This is the most PURE smelling vanilla candle I have ever sniffed upon! 😌 When I opened it, I was on a vanilla cloud. The lid is awesome, too. It does a very good job at keeping the candle smell contained. I’ll be buying this brand for a while!" —Sarah Buckle

    39. Or a Himalayan salt lamp you'll love if candles make you sneeze because it'll create a similar soft, warm glow without additional scents.

    Promising review: "Love these lights — actually have two sets now for two different bedrooms. Each lamp is unique and they come in different shapes. The instructions are easy to put the light inside and the dimmer switch is great for getting the right level of light. I turn these on at bedtime and can even read a book when the light is on the highest setting. They are salty (hahaha, I did actually lick one to see), and there are some parts of them that can break off a bit if you were to drop something on them, etc. So, make sure you put them in a place where they won't be knocked around. The color is really beautiful and they are also lovely for staring at during meditation or just to relax." —Skye Schulte

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99.

    40. A super comfy hoodie you can curl up in after having *a day* while blasting your go-to Taylor Swift playlist and admitting that sometimes you might be the problem after all...oops. Go on, embrace that anti-hero life!

    I recently received these ~golden globes~ and they have been a godsend for my extremely tired new mom eyes. They feel so refreshing in the morning after a looooong night. I can't wait to test them out with one of my go-to serums after a hot shower.

    Get them from Chillhouse for $43.95.

    44. And a Barefoot Dreams blanket that'll actually live up to all the hype you've likely heard about it — it really does feel like curling up inside a cloud.

    I am the proud owner of two of these babies and have no shame. My first Barefoot Dreams blanket (which my sister gifted me a few Christmases ago) is one of my most cherished items as soon as the temperature drops. It's super soft, washes well, and has enough weight to it to actually keep you warm. They're absolutely worth the splurge — you won't regret it when you're snuggled under it on a snowy winter evening.

    Get it from Nordstrom Rack for $69.97 (available in four styles).
