It comes with both the mask and the magnetic wand.
Promising review: "I have only used this once since I purchased it. It goes on easily and it comes off so quickly using the wand. My face felt soft after I used it. I will definitely be using this again." —Jeanne Coston
Get it from Amazon for $23.80.
It comes with two power cords, one that plugs into a regular wall and another that plugs into your car, making it easy to use there, too.
Promising review: "I used to drive for 20 minutes each way for a therapist to work on my lower back pain. When my insurance ran out I stopped going and the pain came back. So I started paying for it out of pocket. Then I saw this product. For less than the cost of one session, this wonderful machine helps me through the day. It's perfect for my office chair and helps me get through the day. It can be addicting, so be sure to turn off the heat if you do a back-to-back massage!" —Lynn Robert Carter
Get it on Amazon for $54.95.
Promising reviews: "The ring looks exactly as in the picture. It's subtle, which makes it perfect for stimming during work meetings and such. The seller helped me with picking my ring size, and the result was a perfect fit. I've worn it for a couple of days now and haven't noticed any discoloration, which means the materials are of good quality." —Chickenonabicycle
"I love this ring! I bought one as a gift for my friend who has anxiety as a gift. After seeing hers I had to order one for myself. It really satisfies my fidgeting tendencies! I highly recommend!" —Christy Cobb
Get it from LoveDawne on Etsy for $27 (also available in sterling silver; pretty much every ring size available. She also makes several other styles of fidget rings).
Several of us here at BuzzFeed use them all the time and know they actually work! They're made from cleaner-burning soy wax, come in 21 scents that smell just like normal candles, and will burn for up to 60 hours.
Promising review: "I have multiple dogs in the house and am always concerned that it smells like that to visitors. I have used other candles and melts that add a pleasant smell to the underlying odor, but these candles do better. I can leave the house and return hours later and when I first open the door, I don't smell dog. We recently had a house full of people (many of them pet parents) over for Christmas dinner and it was actually commented, 'Your house smells really nice. How do you keep the dog smell out?' I laughed and told them I was just wondering if the candles were working." —LLL Texas
Get them on Amazon for $21.95 (available in 8+ scents and as singles or in packs of two).

One reviewer also mentions that it's awesome for removing excess hair dye from their scalp with very little effort.
Promising review: "I cannot explain how good this feels when you're using it! It relaxes you and for sure is better than just using your fingertips to shampoo your hair. It actually goes down to the roots and makes sure that it gets into all the spots it can to clean your hair. My hair has never felt smoother since I started using this product." —Romie Patel
Get it on Amazon for $8.59+ (available in three colors).
Promising review: "Just received this yesterday, and I have probably used it for a couple of hours in that short time. It feels great, and is perfect for times when you have one hand free, like watching a movie or reading a book. It is both calming and slightly stimulating to the nerves of the scalp. Have not tried it on my cat, as someone just mentioned, but intend to, and am sure he will love it too. You know you want one!" —tekno
Get it on Amazon for $5.99 (available in five colors).
In general, you want to go for a weight that's about 10% of your body weight plus one.
Promising review: "Before I received this weighted blanket, according to my Fitbit, I was averaging about four and a half hours of sleep per night due to pain. My first night with this blanket and I slept over seven hours!! Same for my second night. This is so comfortable and comforting. I’m recommending this to everyone I know!" —Jamie Eubanks
Get it on Amazon for $49.90+ (15 weights/sizes available between five and 30 pounds; up to 21 colors/styles).
It has a machine-washable 100% cotton cover, so it can wash and dry along with your sheets.
Promising review: "This pillow saved me! I was not sleeping AT ALL. Tossing, turning couldn't get comfortable. I am not pregnant, I just needed additional support for my back which this provides and has helped ease hip and leg aches. It also keeps me in one spot so I don't wake myself up constantly moving around, but allows me to easily maneuver if I need too and I fall right back to sleep. My dogs love it too. I will often find them snuggled up in the middle of it under the blanket. Have no issue with the fluff. I throw it in the dryer every other time I wash the cover and flip it over often sleeping on both sides." —Karen
Get it on Amazon for $53.79.
Promising reviews: "I bought several of these for my teenage grandchildren. They enjoyed it so much, their sister in college wanted one as well, it's very relaxing for her while studying." —Brenda
"I purchased this as gifts for the younger kids in the family at Christmas, but they were playing it with everyone, passing them from one arm to the next! Everyone loved it." —Janet
Get one from The Grommet for $12.95 (available in four colors).
Of course, it's safe to machine wash and dry.
Promising review: "If you've ever dreamed of sleeping in the pellets of 50 rabbits but don't want the guilt of all those rabbit lives, this is your blanket. It's light but warm, not too warm, just warm enough. The cats LOOKED at it and ran to the bed. Before I finished laying it out they started climbing on it. Like OKAY guys calm down! And it's huge so you can really bundle yourself up or add an extra person comfortably. This blanket just seems sexy and luxurious. I don't really know. It's magical, and it's changed my quality of life for the better." —Emma Stanley
Get it on Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five sizes and 20 colors).
Promising reviews: "Garlicky, salty perfection. So far I've used this on homemade popcorn, roasted broccoli, and fried eggs. All amazing. I've had it less than a week and I've already gone through a quarter of the bottle." —Britta
Get it from your local Trader Joe's, or if you don't have one nearby, from Amazon for $10.24.
It's also paleo-friendly and gluten-free.
Promising review: "I tend to shy away from spicy foods, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to try a new condiment to liven up snacks and recipes with. I was afraid the spice would be overpowering, but it’s actually quite mellow and smooth; just the right touch of heat. So far, I’ve enjoyed this on fruit salad (banana/strawberry/blueberry) and drizzled on the original Chick-fil-A sandwich....so delicious!" —SleepsInRain
Get it on Amazon for $8.48.
This is a tried and true favorite of my colleague Bek, who eats it on all kinds of foods and even puts it in cocktails!
Each one's packed with castor seed oil, beeswax, and lanolin, all of which work together to hydrate lips for hours on end! There are eight different options available: Original (un-tinted + unflavored), Birthday (un-tinted shimmer + Milk Bar Birthday Cake–inspired flavor), Rose (light pink tint + sugary rose flavor), Cherry (sheer red tint), Mint (un-tinted), Coconut (un-tinted), Mango (coral tint), and Berry (sheer purple tint + jam flavor).
Promising review: "This. Is. The. BEST! In just three days this product turned my chapped lips into soft, healthy lips. My favorite is the coconut, because the texture is different than the others. It smells AMAZING. I'm never using another balm again! I also like the mint (very refreshing) and the rose (soft and not slimy). If there's only one thing you buy from Glossier, make it the coconut Balm Dot Com." —iloveglossier
Get them from Glossier: choose three flavors for your custom pack for $30 or opt for a single tube for $12.

It's a thick consistency that you can bounce, twist, roll, and stretch into any number of shapes.
Promising review: "First of all, this is NOT slime, it's putty. It's about the consistency of chewing gum. Secondly, this color (Super Scarab) has a very cool visual effect. In some lights it looks crystalline green, in others it's purple. It shimmers and that adds to the fun. I've found this to be a great fidget for my autistic son, a great stress-reducer for myself, and an all-around great distraction. I do recommend storing it flat so that the putty doesn't gum up the lid. Great fun! Enjoy!" —Crazy Critter Lady
Get it on Amazon for $13.95.
Ergonomics are important!!
Promising review: "I have several issues with my back: two herniated disks, scoliosis, and a twisted hip. It's a mess in there. On top of everything I injured my tailbone last summer. The cushion has been a lifesaver to alleviate sitting pain after the injury and I was pretty happy with the quality of their products and customer service so I jumped on it when I saw they also make a lumbar pillow. Best decision ever. I am now using my memory foam seat cushion with the lumbar pillow, and they perfectly complete each other and transformed my old office chair into a premium orthopedic chair sold in ergonomic furniture stores. I don't think I can ever go back to sitting long hours without these two." —Mario
Get them on Amazon: the seat cushion for $29.95 and the seat back lumbar cushion for $24.95.
All it takes is one minute in the microwave for heat therapy, or 30 minutes in the freezer for cold therapy. The specialty herb blend contains chamomile, peppermint, spearmint, rosemary, lemon grass, cinnamon, lavender, white willow, yarrow , saw palmetto, yellow dock root, and valerian.
Promising review: "I'm already in love! I feel like I'm at the spa back in Cancun. It smells wonderful, the material is soft, and they conform to your neck and face perfectly. I like the mildly dense pressure that it puts on your body as well. I used both the neck and the heated eye pillows for meditation yesterday, and it made such a difference. The warm neck pillow was incredibly relaxing, and the soothing lavender eye pillow not only had a great aromatherapy effect, but completely blocked out all light, making the meditation that much better. I then heated the pillows up a second time to relax before bed, and I was out in a matter of minutes." —Nicole D
Get them on Amazon: The neck wrap (which comes with a non-aromatherapy sleep mask) for $23.75, and a lavender aromatherapy eye pillow for $11.55.
Don't be intimidated by how strange it looks; the company has instructions and videos available on their website to help you learn how to use it.
Promising review: "My sisters have this peculiar-looking item and love it, middle sister for her neck and shoulders and youngest for her back. Sounds like a good purchase. It came with a small booklet attached which said, don't press on bones. Use on sore muscle areas and pressure points. I have tried it on my neck and back, but ohhhhh...the best place is on the bottom of my feet! I use it on my feet before bedtime. If I do it too early, watch out! I will fall asleep! This makes me so relaxed. Now I wonder how I ever got along without one! The bottom line is that this weird thing is very flexible according to your needs. Neck, back, feet? It does it all and more." —sherylita
Get it on Amazon for $29.95.
I've washed it dozens of times over the years, and I swear it's only gotten softer. And it's never smelled mildew-y, even in my tiny, steamy New York bathroom with no fan or window. (If you use benzoyl peroxide acne products, I recommend sticking with the white because the dyes do bleach!)
Get one from Snowe for $60 (also available in standard size for $30).

It has 10 fan noises and 10 "ambient noise variations" (including white noise, pink noise, and brown noise). Even better, the noise is nonrepeating, so you won't find yourself noticing every time it loops!
Promising review: "I read about this white noise machine somewhere (probably BuzzFeed) about 18 months ago when a new batch of neighbors was particularly rowdy. I didn't have high hopes, but was feeling desperate. What a lifesaver — or sleep-saver — it turned out to be! I use it every night and don't hear noises between units, people in the hallway, people outside, cars in the parking lot, the trash truck outside my window, or buses rumbling by. Even when I'm awake, I sometimes turn it on just to read or have some quiet time. I was concerned that it would bother my cat since his ears are more sensitive than mine, but he doesn't notice it. It's truly amazing, and has made a big improvement in my quality of life. I'm thinking about getting one for the office so I don't have to wear my noise-cancelling, firing-range ear muffs anymore." —Just Passing Through
Get it on Amazon for $44.61.
Promising review: "Best pair of slippers I have ever owned. EXACTLY what I was looking for. They slide on and off easily, but they don't fall off when I'm walking around. The plush inside feels nice, with a hard sole, so I can wear them to take out the trash. And they wash easily. I just put them through the washer/ dryer with a load of laundry. Good as new! I am preemptively purchasing another pair because things wear out over time through regular use. ;) I want to ensure that I have replacements waiting at the ready!" —EJM
Get them on Amazon for $17.99 (available in sizes 5/6–11/12 and five colors).
