    76 Things That’ll Help You Ring In 2023 With, Like, Zero Stress

    Cheers to chillin'!

    1. A copy of How to Deal With Fear, Failure, and Other Daily Dreads that will help you tackle your anxieties. Instead of hokey mantras and self-helpisms, you'll be treated to lil' comics and doodles that'll help shift your perspective (and maybe give you a giggle or two).

    2. A colourful massage roller covered in acupressure needles that'll help promote blood circulation and reduce pain. Reviewers love that they can even use it overtop of their clothes for a midday boost.

    3. A squishy gel head wrap that'll cool down your noggin and help ease fevers, migraines, and sinus congestion. It'll stay cold longer than ice and block out beams of light that might aggravate your condition.

    4. A pack of gel stress balls so you can squeeeeze your stress into oblivion. Not only is each one is a different degree of firmness, but they're infused with a unique scent that'll give you a dose of aromatherapy, too.

    5. A pack of sinus-clearing shower steamers when nothing else seems to be doing the trick. Popping 'em into a hot shower will help unclog your schnoz when the cold weather gives ya the sniffles.

    6. A weekly planner that'll help you stay organized *and* motivated, no matter how much you have going on that week. There's plenty of room for notes, doodles, lists, and appointments, and, since it's undated, there'll be no pressure to fill it out until you're ready.

    8. A petite aromatherapy diffuser that's small enough to fit in your car cup holder. It also works as a humidifier, which is a bonus if your space tends to feel a bit stuffy.

    9. A Garnier sheet mask that'll make you look like a superhero while it gets down to business (Elastigirl, is that you?). It's packed with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and coconut water to depuff and moisturize your under-eye area.
