1. Wreck This Journal, a notebook with a different creative (or destructive) prompt on each page. This is nothing like your stuffy school notebooks — those would never encourage you to do cathartic things like drop them or spill coffee on them (and yet somehow you do both all the time).
2. A full-on menagerie of mini animal squishies you could totally share with your classmates, but I wouldn't blame you for keeping them all for yourself. Open a squishy zoo on your desk!
3. A desktop punching bag, because, in the immortal words of philosopher Hannah Montana, everybody has those days.
4. An amazingly effective peppermint, spearmint, and lavender essential oil roll-on headache and migraine relief stick to help stop that all-too-common mid-school day headache in its tracks.
5. A deck of not-cheesy affirmation cards you can pull out whenever it seems like that paper will never get written or you'll never understand that equation. The whimsical illustrations and cheeky little reminders that you have, in fact, got this will turn that frown upside down.
6. Or a deck of 50 "Stress Less" cards, each featuring a different mindfulness or relaxation technique you can reach for when things get overwhelming.
7. An amazingly affordable subscription to FaceTory, which'll deliver a fun new assortment of K-beauty fabric masks every month to help upgrade your much-needed Netflix and pampering nights.
8. A mini massage roller ball you can keep in your locker or on your desk and even pop in the freezer or pair with essential oils for an extra relaxing experience. It's just what your neck, shoulders, and honestly whole dang body need after being hunched over a desk all day.
9. I Could Pee on This: And Other Poems by Cats, a LOL-worthy anthology of poetry you'll actually want to read when you need a mental break from your assigned reading. Because let's be real, Emily Dickinson isn't exactly a laugh a minute.
10. Some squishy aromatherapy dough in comforting scents like spa, ocean, and citrus that's just what you ~knead~ to soothe your anxiety.
11. The Panda Planner, which may finally be a planner that's not a source of stress, but a source of joy. It's just as much about gratitude and self care as it is about your to-do list. No wonder over 3,500 people swear by it.
12. A classic stress toy friend with pop-out features who's just bursting to be your go-to source of comfort when you're feeling stressed during the school year and beyond.
13. An indulgent coffee bath bomb for an end-of-day day treat you'll love a ~latte~ (and, unlike that 5 p.m. Starbucks you probably shouldn't have had, won't keep you up all night).
14. A clever essential oil diffuser necklace so you can get a ~scents~ of calm in class, the library, or wherever, and look dang cute doing it, too.
15. A gorgeous and intricate doggo coloring book to help you relax by putting pen to pupper.
16. A handy pillow with a simple purpose — to graciously receive the scream that has been festering inside you since the first bell rang. It was just one of those days.
17. A squishy avocado you can give a big squeeze every time you're working your butt off and a baby boomer comments that you still won't be able to afford a house if you keep eating so much avocado toast.
18. A stainless steel ring with a spinning outer band that's basically a stylish, wearable fidget spinner subtle enough to use during class. It's here to help you give anxiety, ADHD, and bad habits the finger.
19. A breathable, temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking weighted blanket that will basically make you feel like you're curled up in a warm hug and can help improve sleep and reduce anxiety, so you can wake up feeling ready to face each day.
20. A cuddly friend who can be microwaved or frozen and who'll not only soothe the aches and pains that make homework seem extra impossible, but help relax you with a cozy lavender scent. Oh, and make you smile, because c'mon — it's a smiley llama or pizza slice!
21. Some all-natural honey lavender stress relief tea that'll help you unwind before bed instead of replaying tomorrow's to-do list over and over in your brain or fretting about that upcoming quiz. You can handle this, *extremely Sophie Turner voice* and that's the tea.
22. And finally, an honest mug perfect for sipping said tea and serving as a reminder that you don't have to put so much dang pressure on yourself all the time.
