1. A bathtub tray for a relaxing spa night away from the spouse, roommates, or kids. It is adjustable to fit the width of most bathtubs and has silicone grips to keep it in place. The best parts, though, are the wine holder and tablet stand, aka necessities.
The bathtub tray is built with bamboo and has a layer of waterproof varnish making it durable and sturdy.
Promising review: "Looks great. Handle books, phones, iPads, wine glass, etc. Got this for my wife who has started to enjoy a leisurely bath. Saw her checking her phone in the bath and felt this would help prevent accidentally dropping her phone into the water. But really to add to her leisure. Was not sure how solid it would stay in place on the tub. Have only an inch or so on one side. But the provided grips to apply to each of the four corners are extremely effective. The tray feels like it is stuck in place. Very nice item." —Kevin22
Get it from Amazon for $19.47+ (available in five colors).
2. And a box of organic bath bombs to enhance your bath experience even more. If your body has been tight from the freezing cold, use the "muscle relief." There's one for all your winter woes! Just take a dip and watch the bubbles fizz around you — be gone, stress.
Promising review: "I love these bath bombs! They all smell fantastic and make such a wonderful soothing and relaxing bath. These are good sized bombs for my large tub.

3. A smart stone that one-ups traditional gua sha stones. It has nine levels of vibration and heat to help reduce any tightness and bring you complete relaxation. It can also help reduce puffiness and improve circulation — a self-care necessity.
Promising review: "I've been using this gua sha tool for a few weeks now and I'm already seeing a difference in my skin texture and tone. The natural sibin bian stone feels luxurious and the red light therapy has helped reduce my acne and inflammation. The customizable heat and vibration settings make it easy to personalize my self-care routine. I have also been a longtime user of gua sha on my shoulders for whenever I feel overheated. Using the smart stone’s vibration and red light makes me feel even more relaxed! Overall, I'm very impressed with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their self-care game!" —The Amazonian
Get it from Amazon for $60+ (available in three styles).
4. A dream balm to help you get a peaceful night of sleep without tossing and turning. Just rub the lavender, chamomile, and passionflower formula onto your temples, feet, or whatever you feel like to catch some fantastic ZZZs.
Woodland Herbal is a family-run small business based in Warsaw, Ohio.
This gets a big thumbs up from my coworker Emma Lord: "Y'all, I am one of the world's worst sleepers and I swear by this HARD — particularly for when I wake up in the middle of the night and my brain is in 'ah, let's think all the thoughts we've ever had at the SAME TIME' mode. I rub it on my temples and the insides of my wrists and take a big whiff from the canister and it's usually a lot easier for me to doze back off, when typically I might spend *hours* trying to conk back out. I've also found a little bit of this goes a long way — I've had this a few months and doubt I'll have to replace it for awhile!"
Promising review: "I tried it last night and I haven’t slept this hard in a long time. The smell alone is soothing when you put it on your temples as you drift off to sleep. I usually toss and turn but I slept like a rock." —Emily Irvin
Get it from Woodland Herbal on Etsy for $22.84+ (available in two sizes).
5. A stainless-steel rainfall showerhead for a luxurious at-home pampering for a *fraction* of the price of going to the spa. You can pretend you're standing in the Amazon Rainforest but with more warmth and cleanliness.
Promising review: "This is a beautiful showerhead, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The showerhead has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a showerhead?" —Sadda Reddy
Get it from Amazon for $21.74+ (available in five sizes and four finishes).
6. A shampoo scalp massager to exfoliate and massage your scalp in the shower for a DIY spa experience. Plus if you have psoriasis, dandruff, or a tender scalp, reviewers mention that this nifty thing could help!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord also swears by hers. Here's her rave review: "I own 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 was 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 saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z
Get it from Amazon for $5.93+ (available in three colors).
7. A breathing owl that'll provide you with a color-coordinated guided meditation. It indicates when to inhale, hold your breath, and exhale. I mean, how could you be upset looking at this adorable lil thing?!
Not only does it guide your breathing, it can also emit seven white noise nature sounds and act as a night-light!
Promising review: "I just got my owl today. Used it for only five minutes and realized how quickly this meditation guide made me very aware of my breathing and stress even when not actively using it. I loved it so much I bought two more for family members. Really wonderful to find a rare, but useful item that doesn’t cost a fortune but is invaluable. Use this before bed and throughout the day to reduce anxiety." — D Willis
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (also available in a bunny, unicorn, or puppy).

Basic Vigor is a US-based small business specializing in all-natural migraine relief products.
Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine med since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

9. An Elizavecca Milky Piggy carbonated bubble clay mask that'll exfoliate your skin and remove blackheads for the ultimate spa experience. After applying it, wait five minutes for bubbles to form, remove the foam and let the charcoal sit for a little before taking washing it off — fun and purifying!
Promising review: "I have very few skincare items I buy more than once. I LOVE this mask. It bubbles up upon application and the tiny bubbles bursting itch and tickle, but stick out the 10 minutes. The first time I used it, after washing it off you could literally see the junk and oil sitting on top of my skin as it had been pushed to the surface. The next morning my skin glowed. Def will be buying more." —Alice D.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
10. And a box of pore-tightening, skin-lifting Skin1004 Zombie Pack face masks so you can get an at-home facial. They help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, clear small breakouts, and deeply hydrate your skin. Don't be frightened by the name — the mask cracks in areas that need moisture and is rough in areas that lack elasticity.
Promising review: "Smells great! This face mask does exactly what it says. My skin is nice and lifted, hydrated, noticeable reduction in fine lines, improved texture, reduced my pore size, and eliminated some newly developed rough patches forming around the hairline. Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level." —Samantha
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $25.
11. A self-care weekly tracker to plan your week ahead of time. It comes with goals that you can assign for each day such as putting your phone down and "live! laugh! love!" How adorable!
Promising review: "I’m a fan of these types of lists, so when I saw this it was a great reminder to be more intentional with my own self-care. Even in small ways, setting goals for time to be mindful is a good idea, so having a plan for my week is helpful! Thanks for the assist!!" —Suz
Get it from Amazon for $15.10.
12. A calm and de-stress soy wax candle that's infused with essential oils and smells of bergamot, lavender, and lemongrass. For a relaxing night in, light up one of these for an amazing aroma — it will not disappoint. Candlelit bath? UMM YES PLEASE.

13. An ice roller so you can target puffy areas on your face and soothe inflamed skin, headaches, and even sore muscles! Even if you don't need it, you can use it for a refreshing massage.
Promising review: "I went to a high-end spa that used one of these on my face. It felt so good so I ran home and found this on Amazon. This tool is the best. I use it for a thigh issue that needs to be iced frequently. It's so easy – no bags of ice? Just use the freezer roller! I use it for headaches and on my face to feel good! I can't say enough good things about this product — everyone should have one! My boyfriend loves it, too!" —Rula
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 12 colors).
14. A copy of Burn After Writing for your deepest. darkest. secrets. These prompts range from wholesome to spicy to take journaling to another level. On different pages you'll have to choose between "this or that" questions, make your own bucket list, and more! Reviewers say that this book can be a great stress reliever.
Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm
Get it from Amazon for $7.32.
15. A Saem hydrating eye stick to reduce the appearance of dark circles, lines, and puffiness with Iceland mineral water, xylitol, moss and seaweed extract, and niacinamide — all without oils. For a top-notch experience, use after refrigeration to better help reduce puffiness.
It can also help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable.
Promising review: "I have always had bags and dark circles under my eyes and have tried sooooo many things. I was skeptical that this would work, but oh. my. goodness. This little stick is amazing. The puffiness was gone. Dark circles, still there some but definitely not as bad. It also smells really nice and absorbs instantly. Plus, the container is cute. I highly recommend to anyone else who has tried all the things and been disappointed." —HeartsUnfold
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
16. A microwavable deep-conditioning cap so you can ~chillax~ while you give your hair a lil treatment with your favorite leave-in conditioners or oils. Just heat it up for a minute and leave it on your hair for half an hour for some gorgeous, soft locks.
Glow By Daye is a Black woman-owned business founded by Ranay Daye and based in Los Angeles. She sells a variety of bonnets, as well as silk pillowcases.
Promising review: "Upon just recently finding out that I have low porosity hair, I was informed that I need to deep condition with heat to assist with moisture. I love this cap! I love that it allows me to do other things while deep conditioning. I’ve used it twice since purchasing and it will be a staple in my routine! Also, thank you for the plastic caps that were included!" —L.N.
Get it from Glow By Daye for $37.97 (available in five colors) or Amazon for $37.96 (available in five colors).
17. A bottle of Cosrx snail mucin essence that helps soothe dehydrated skin and reduces dullness. It's a cult-favorite for a reason — it's perfect for ALL skin types, even if you have oily skin!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord also swears by this. She writes: "I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!"
Promising review: "Recommended from a dermatologist, which is very important when choosing skincare. I use it in the morning after toner then follow up with a light moisturizer, vitamin C, then SPF, and my skin is glowing. I’ve received many compliments after incorporating this into my routine." —E. Rice
Get it from Amazon for $13.88.
18. An acupressure mat and pillow because after a long day of work, plopping down onto your couch just won't cut it. This set helps to relieve tension and stress with over *7,000* acupressure points. After 10–30 minutes of lying on this mat, you will probably arise as a new person.

Promising review: "Honestly a friend sent me a TikTok video on this item. I was like for $20 I'll try it, and oh my god, I have lower back problems and 20 minutes lying on this spiking mat helped relieve pressure. I work remotely and am sitting down for 8–10 hours a day, so tension builds up and this totally worked. So many ways to try using the mat." —Arlington Ink
Get it from Amazon for $26.96+ (available in 15 colors and two sizes).
19. A face steamer so you can open up your pores without needing to take an scorching hot shower. It also triples as a towel warmer and humidifier — the perfect spa night 3-in-1.
It also comes with a five-piece stainless steel blackhead and blemish extractor kit!
Promising review: "After having seen my esthetician for a few months, I asked her for a facial steamer she'd recommend for home use. She suggested this one and I have been using it nightly since receiving it. It is VERY user-friendly and certainly is making my skin look healthy and therefore, makeup looks better when I go out for the evening, etc. I highly recommend this product and as I use it with a towel over my head in order to keep the steam more focused on my face, it's a complete joy and immensely relaxing." —Antonia O.
Get it from Amazon for $39.95.
20. A heating pad for your sore neck, back, and honestly entire body that has been working too hard. It heats up in just 20 seconds and will relieve any tension that's been living within you.
Promising review: "This is the best heating pad I have ever bought. It is the perfect size and so soft. The 12 levels of temperature control are perfect. In the past I have had heating pads that are either surface of the sun hot or you can't tell they are even on. I would absolutely recommend this one!" —Kim Deal
Get it from Amazon for $21.49+ (available in three styles).
21. And a heated massager so you can relieve your stress when you come home from work. You can use it on your back, neck, legs, and even your feet so you can knead out all those knots.
Promising review: "I have horrific tension headaches and migraines. This thing melts them away so quickly. You can adjust the pressure by pulling on the handles or lay back into it. The heat is just enough to relax. I went around and around trying to decide if something like this was worth it and I finally just decided to try it. Trust me; buy the massager!" —Kelly Dyer
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors).
22. A foot mask that peels off dead skin buildup on the soles of your feet and helps repair cracked heels. Just leave the masks on for about an hour and within 7–14 days, your ~dogs~ will start to shed. It'll basically turn you into a snake, but in the best way possible. Kinda gross but also really satisfying, right?
Promising review: "I've worked retail for almost 30 years and it takes a toll on your feet. I recently had a deep crack develop in my heel and it hurt. After weeks of pampering my feet, putting Vaseline on them and sleeping in socks every night, and wearing only sneakers to work, I got the crack healed. I really needed a pedicure but I was afraid of the salon doing the cheese grater thing on my freshly-mended heel. I opted for this instead to hopefully shed some of the hardened skin before I get a spring pedicure. IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE. After one application, my feet have all of this beautiful smooth skin! It feels so nice to get rid of all of that old, hard skin. I'm going to give it one more week and then I will go get a fresh pedicure. I can't wait. Seriously, just buy this. It's amazing and so easy. Plus, you get two applications. I'm saving the second one and will do that one in a couple of months." —Beth
Get it from Amazon for $14.25+ (available in three scents).
