1. Some foam earplugs because you deserve a good night's sleep with no interruptions. Waking up feeling well-rested is an excellent way to start your day.
2. A compact under-desk bike so you can release those stressful feelings while you crush those deadlines, prepare for meetings, and do your best work. You'll get to show off your serious multitasking skills because you exercised while you got work done.
It works with desks as low as 27 inches. If you're tall or you have long legs, you can still use it while working from the couch.
Promising review: "Really perfect for me. I have averaged about 50 miles per day and have lost four pounds in one week. Really well-built and totally silent. I'm 5'8" and I do have to sit in a low chair but it works well and I do computer work and talk on the phone while burning about 1,000 calories a day! You can't beat that. I was looking at more expensive solutions but I won't look anymore. Completely satisfied." —Phil

3. Two Minute Mornings, a daily journal to help you prioritize many elements of self care as soon as you wake up. Start your morning with gratitude, meditation, and mindfulness. Set your intentions, and look forward to having a great day!
4. A Home Chef subscription because if planning dinner stresses you the heck out, then maybe you should try pre-prepared meals. You can select meals that you want for the week, and the ingredients will be shipped to your door. If cooking isn't your thing, you can select dinners that just need to be warmed up before serving.
5. A pack of catnip-infused felt balls for keeping your furry friend occupied and out of your hair, especially if you WFH. They're mess-free and come fully charged with a custom catnip blend.
6. And a bacon-flavored wishbone chew toy that'll last for weeks and is tougher than regular bones. When you're too busy to give your fur baby all the attention and belly scratches they want, you can toss them a delicious bone to keep them satisfied. You can choose from bacon, chicken, and peanut flavors that will surely make them drool.
7. A pick-and-peel stone because it's exactly what you need to de-stress, or keep your anxious mind focused and calm. This stone-picking activity is excellent for anyone who regularly picks at their skin or nails.
8. A to-do list so you can stay on top of your daily tasks. Remove the stress of falling behind by literally taking things one thing at a time. Celebrate the little accomplishments and treat yourself after you've finished your list. You deserve it!
9. A 7-in-1 Instant Pot to keep your dirty dishes to a minimum. If you're someone who feels stressed or anxious when you see clutter, this is definitely for you. Make delicious meals and stay on top of your meal prep with the touch of a button!
This do-it-all kitchen appliance is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, yogurt maker, and warmer.
Promising review: "This thing is great! I bought it to cook dried beans fast, and it does. A process that required eight hours of soaking and two hours of boiling now takes a half hour. The unit is also easy to clean. Plus it has a whole bunch of cooking modes in addition to pressure cooking. The sauté feature makes it easy to sauté the food in the same pot that you pressure cook in, so it reduces the number of pots and pans you need to cook your meal." —S. Coffrey
Get it from Amazon for $50+ (available in three sizes and two styles).
10. Or a truly ~egg-cellent~ rapid egg cooker if you're too busy for food, but you know you need to eat. Luckily for you, eggs only take a few minutes to cook, and you don't even need a pan. You can poach, scramble, or boil your way to a quick meal or snack.
This rapid egg cooker comes with a boiling tray that holds seven eggs, a two-egg poaching tray, an omelet tray, a measuring cup, and a removable clear lid. The good news is that all of these things are dishwasher safe! Even though it's mostly made to cook eggs, it can be used to steam other foods like veggies.
Promising review: "So neat and fun to use! I used it the next morning after the delivery, and I cook my eggs only in the Dash Go. It cooks every egg so perfectly, and they come out so fluffy every time. It cooks a variety of egg dishes, and you can cook vegetables, and some meat like fish. Very wonderful kitchen gadget, and I highly recommend you make a dash to buy the Dash Go Rapid Egg Cooker if you love eggs! You will not be disappointed!" —Tonya
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight colors).

11. A Wi-Fi extender for anyone who's home Wi-Fi is slow because the router is either too far away or there are too many devices on it. Eliminate any dead zones in your home and keep your connection consistent by simply plugging the extender into any outlet. Now you'll no longer be embarrassed because your connection notoriously times out during every virtual meeting.
Promising review: "Both the down and upload speed significantly improved. I urge anyone working from home with intermittent poor video conference signals to buy this unit immediately!" —Deep Breath - Fast Run
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
12. An Ember mug because you might be under so much pressure to finish assignments on time, that you won't even take a coffee break. Now you don't have to break your focus to reheat your drink. Just set the temperature from your phone or smart watch, and keep your beverage warm for up to 1.5 hours.
13. Or a simple mug warmer so your coffee, tea, or cocoa can stay nice and hot. Treat yourself to something warm and soothing to release the tension from your body.
14. A light therapy alarm clock to gently wake you up with natural lighting. Unlike the startling alarm sounds on your phone, this clock can play five natural sounds that will make your morning routine feel extremely luxurious. It also comes with 20 brightness settings, FM radio, tap snooze abilities, and automatic dimmable display. This should be the last step to complete your beauty rest.
15. A roll-on migraine stick if you experience unbearable headaches. It's made with a blend of peppermint, spearmint, lavender, and coconut oil essential oils, to provide you immediate relief. Just apply the stick to your temples, forehead, and back of your neck when you start feeling pain. Don't let your migraine stop your plans.
16. A fidget spinner ring for anyone who experiences feelings of restlessness. This sensory activity can give you relief during moments of anxiety. The outer band is designed to spin quietly and look sleek. Maybe this could be what you've been looking for to discreetly calm nerves.
17. Or theFube — a fidget cube with soft silicone buttons, a joystick, and a switch you can click. It's made to fit in the palm of your hand and give your fingers an endless sensory experience.
18. An Anker portable battery pack because nothing brings more stress than having a dead phone with no way to charge it. I personally keep a charger with me at all times just in case. You'll have the power to charge your phone multiple times. Skip the panic and get one of these.
19. A TikTok-famous pink cleaning paste so you can save yourself the stress of having to go through several products to get rid of what seems like an impossible stain.
20. A fabric defuzzer to safely remove lint, pilling, loose strands, and fuzz from your furniture. It's cordless and lightweight so you can bring it anywhere. Not only is the shaver excellent for couches, but it also works on sweaters, shirts, socks, and other fabrics that could use a little touch-up. Now you can have last-minute visits without stressing about how your sofa looks.
21. A meal planner if you need a little help getting your weekly schedule back on track. If you're tired of eating out just because it's quick, then you should try using this to prepare for the next time you go shopping.
22. An adult swaddle for anyone loves a good snuggly feeling to help them de-stress and drift to sleep. The Sleep Pod mimics the feeling of a hug to give you a good night's rest. It's more breathable than a weighted blanket so you won't be drenched in sweat.
23. A 2-in-1 essential oil diffuser that you can use to make your space feel more relaxing. Enjoy scents and lights to help keep you calm while you work. Another cool thing about this diffuser is that It also doubles as a humidifier!
This color-changing diffuser and humidifier comes with seven mood lights, each of which can be used in bright or dim mode. It also has an auto-off feature, so it'll shut off once you run out of water. With any diffuser, you'll need an excellent variety of essential oils to really set the mood.
Promising review: "Love it!!! It was smaller than what I expected but I actually don't mind it. I love the size since I wanted it for my home office (which is a smaller room). I bought a lemon essential oil since I love the citrusy scent. Working from home and being on the phone so much stresses me out, and the lights actually help me to relax more and feel more calm. Also, I like the noise from the mist because I can't fully focus when it's too quiet, so the constant noise makes work a little better (at least for me!). I really recommend to give it a try. I'm sure this little baby won't disappoint you :)" —Roxana Tortorella
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in five styles).
24. A bath bomb set because you deserve to unwind at the end of a looooong day. Turn on a spa playlist, light some candles, and just relax.
25. A laundry soap bar so versatile that it brightens white fabrics, remove stains, attacks grease spots, cleans makeup brushes, repels bugs, and sooo much more. As long as you've got this in your cleaning collection, you won't have to worry about losing your favorite shirt to an annoying stain.
26. A Souper Cube to remove the hassle of making dinner from scratch. Just put your favorite soups in the cubes and freeze for a rainy day. Whether you're pressed for time or just want a warm dinner, you should definitely try one of these. It works for any leftover liquid, even if you want an endless supply of hot chocolate!
27. A robot vacuum that cleans messes and random crumbs so you can keep your floors looking spotless. It's perfect for rugs, hardwood, tile, and stone floors. As long as this little machine is on the move, you can kick your feet up and enjoy your favorite show.
Promising review: "I am a NEAT FREAK! I love to clean. I literally clean my house daily. It can’t be clean enough. I have a two-story, three-bedroom three-bathroom house with two dogs. This vacuum cleans all of it! This gadget is legit like a little human vacuuming your floors, but super throughly. It goes over all my rugs and hardwood floors, and it goes in the bathrooms and closets and under all the furniture. Once in a while it gets caught in the wires underneath my TV but most of the time it is able to get itself out of it. It’s quiet. My dogs barely even notice it. This is worth every penny! It’s easy to set up and easy to clean after each use. It does all the hard work for you. Since I’ve had mine, I’ve literally gotten five friends to buy one and they all love it too. (This is NOT a paid advertisement or review. This is just a review from a normal woman who really loves her floors clean.)" —Shannon
Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (also available in white).
28. Some Apple AirPods (or the Pro version!) for those moments when you need to drown out the world, and maybe listen to white noise, sound bowls, or relaxing elevator music to calm your nerves. You can also ask Siri to call your favorite person, so you can distract your mind.
29. An Obé Fitness subscription that'll help you work out from home. If going to the gym feels stressful or makes you anxious, then you can choose from any of their classes that range from 5–60 minutes. Do what feels right for your health — feel free to take it slow or dive right into intense workouts, whenever you want!
Do you feel better now that you have new things to make you less stressed?
