    25 Things For A Perfect Night In When Your Social Battery Is Low And You Just Want To Be Alone

    No people — just vibes.

    1. A relaxing Epsom salt soak infused with eucalyptus and spearmint to help soothe sore muscles. Just pour some in your bath and shut the world out. It'll create a foaming bath that'll feel like a spa experience in the comfort of your own home.

    Promising reviews: "I soak after a long, hard day. It's so relaxing and helps it all aches and pain." —Lisa

    "I stand on my feet for hours. To come home and soak them with this works wonders!!" —Angelica Stephens-Riley

    Get it from Amazon for $5.87 (available in two scents and multipacks).

    2. Or a pack of aromatherapy shower steamers if you prefer to take showers instead of baths. What better way to enjoy a night in than to kick it off with a nice, hot shower and shower bombs? Just place one of these in the corner of your shower and it'll release a calming scent. Your whole bathroom will smell amazing.

    Each set includes different scents to help relax, invigorate, or even clear the sinuses. Scents include lavender, menthol-eucalyptus, vanilla, and pomegranate-rose. They're also nonslip, vegan, and cruelty-free.

    Promising review: "I am in love with the shower steamer bombs. They smell so good in the package and even better in the shower. I do not have a tub for bath bombs so when I found these I was so happy. Once I used them I was overjoyed because they were so calming and relaxing and I didn’t feel left out. Thank you for taking the time to think about the shower experience and making it better. I will be ordering more soon." —Stina

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in various variety packs as well as a 36-pack). 

    3. A bath pillow so you won't have to rest your head on you tub's hard porcelain edge — ouch! Reviewers say it's comfortable, supports your head and neck, and it stays put. Now you can soak until you get all pruny instead of rushing out because you couldn't get comfy.

    And this has SEVEN suction cups to keep it in place!

    Promising review: "This bath pillow is wonderful! I had the blow-up terry pillow and ditched it for this and I am so glad I did. This pillow is extremely comfortable and the best pillow I have ever tried. It looks as though it would attach easily to any tub. My tub is curved and there was no problem with it conforming to my tub. It stays put with no slippage. The suction cups hold very well. If you want to remove it, then I recommend peeling the suction cups away with your fingernail to prevent ripping the pillow. I recommend removing it and placing it on the side of the tub to air dry to prevent any mold from building up behind it... You will not be disappointed." —Christina

    Get it from Amazon for $15.94+ (available in two sizes and six colors).

    4. Plus, an adjustable bamboo bathtub tray for your drinks, snacks, tablets, and books so you can truly enjoy your bath and relax with everything you could possibly need within reach.

    Promising review: "This caddy is very cute and sturdy. It is perfect for a glass of wine and a book. The design is brilliant and can adjust to any tub size. I highly suggest purchasing this if you are looking for a GREAT, useful bathroom accessory." —LuAnn Chandler

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four colors and a custom engraving option).

    5. A cozy, fluffy blanket because reviewers say it's just as soft as the wayyy more expensive and popular Barefoot Dreams throw. Plus, since you'll save some coins getting this instead, you can splurge on Uber Eats and rent a movie to make it the perfect night in.

    Promising reviews: "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I've washed it several times now and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" —Amy

    "I saw this blanket suggested as a Barefoot Dreams lookalike. Being a sucker for soft, cozy blankets, I thought I would get one and compare it to my Barefoot Dreams blanket. Not only did it compare, I actually prefer this blanket. If they are both laying there, I choose this one!" —CC

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in three sizes and 15 colors/styles).

    6. Or an "Oodie" (aka a wearable blanket with a hood) so you won't have to take off your comfy blanket whenever you get up to grab a snack. Plus, this also has a huge front pocket, perfect for your phone or to keep your hands nice and warm.

    Oodie

    I have an Oodie and I wear it whenever it's chilly. It's perfect for cold fall days and throughout the entire winter. I love lounging around my house in it. It's so warm, cozy, and comfortable. I even ordered one for my daughter immediately after I received my own. The hardest part is choosing a color/style because there are so many options. Trust me, once you try it on, you won't want to take it off!

    Get the black for $69 or the space version for $84 from Oodie (originally $109; available in one size that fits up to 6XL and also available in more styles here and children's sizes here).

    7. A silicone microwave popcorn maker if your movie night would be incomplete without a fresh bowl of popcorn. Reviewers say it's a "popcorn lovers dream come true." You can customize it anyway you'd like by adding salt or other seasonings and you can also make the perfect amount. Plus, you don't have to use butter or oil (unless you want to).

    Bonus: It's collapsible, in case you're short on kitchen storage space!

    Promising review: "My regular air popcorn maker used to be on the counter. It now has been put away and this is all I use. Making popcorn is so easy now! Kernels in. Lid on. Microwave — hit the popcorn button, and voila — you have popcorn. Never burns and only a few un-popped kernels left. Gave one to my mom as a gift. She loves hers, too!" —Stacey Hughes

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 22 colors). 

    8. A faux-fur saucer chair that reviewers say is "perfect to curl up in." It's comfy, cozy, and honestly will become your fave place to kick back. Plus, if you're short on space, it can be folded and stored easily when you're not using it.

    Promising review: "I bought this chair for my bedroom to watch TV. It is so cozy? I have fallen asleep in it. I love this chair." —Cathy

    Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in 11 colors). 

    9. shiatsu massaging pillow if you could use an awesome massage without having to interact with anyone — no spa required. You'll be able to relax in your fave chair after a long day and get some much needed self-care without leaving your home and without having to shell out a ton of money.

    Promising review: "Best Father's Day gift! I bought this for my husband for Father's Day and was pleasantly surprised. The massager is compact and not bulky, but covers a great amount of area. My husband loves using this when just hanging out in the living room with our 2-year-old son, or when watching TV on the couch, or even when working in the home office. We have yet to bring it in the car with us but so far we love this product. The option to turn off the heat is great too because sometimes we don't need it hot. All in all it's a great massager for the price and best part is I also get to use it, too. " —agnes s.

    Get it from Amazon for $57.95+ (available in five colors).

    10. Plus, a foot-massaging machine so you can get a relaxing massage while you binge your fave show on your comfy couch. It'll feel like you're getting a soothing foot rub without having to talk to anyone or without having to leave your living room.

    The detachable foot sleeves can be thrown into the wash to keep things from getting too smelly, and there are three kneading and squeezing intensity levels to choose from. It fits up to men's size 12 feet. And (!!) it has a heat setting.

    Promising review: "This is an incredible machine for foot pain. It ranges in pressure from 'firm, relaxing massage' to deep kneading. I have issues with my feet and a lot of pain as a result, so I use the medium setting with heat for 15 minutes and then the high setting with heat for 15 minutes. Best 30 minutes of my day. The pressure can be intense at times on the high setting, however, it is exactly what my feet need. Very impressed." —veber

    Get it from Amazon for $99.98+ (available in two colors and with or without a remote). 

    11. loungewear set because reviewers say it's comfy, soft, and it feels luxurious without having to spend as much as you would on a similar set from Skims. You'll want to wear it all the time — and since it comes in 29 colors, you can get a set for almost every day of the month!

    Promising review: "No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price. The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they’re plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together. Anyway, I’m back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much!" —Jenna

    Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $48.59+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 29 colors).

    12. A luxurious sleep mask that's made with eucalyptus silk so you can get some beauty rest without the sun or any light disrupting your sleep. Plus, it's gentle on skin, especially acne-prone skin. The material is also naturally cool to the touch, so you won't feel overheated.

    Get it from our Goodful shop for $24 (originally $32; available in four colors).

    13. A rose quartz roller and Gua Sha set because you can treat yourself to a relaxing spa treatment every day without having to step outside. This can help reduce puffiness and wrinkles. Plus, it's one of those routines you can do while watching TV, so you can unwind before bed.

    Promising review: "I’ve had two other jade rollers that both cost about $15 for just the roller — and they were both garbage compared to this one. The jade rolled unevenly, the metal parts kept falling apart. I was fine with it because well, they’re cheap. I lost my last one and went to order a new roller, and this one was a set for the same price of just a roller, so I gave it a shot. Huge difference in quality! This set is amazing, the roller well-crafted, the quartz smooth and rolls well without any scraping noise. Highly recommend." —Ro R

    Get the set from Amazon for $11.99 (available in six colors/styles, each piece is available individually or in various bundles). 

    14. A cozy retreat jigsaw puzzle so you'll have an activity to keep you busy when you're just not in the mood to interact with anyone.

    Promising review: "This puzzle was everything I imagined for a nice night indoors. Made some tea, put on a Christmas movie, and got to work. The pieces are larger than you think so work on the ground or a larger table. Worked on it for two days, and it was so calming after a busy week." —Victoria

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99

    15. Or a "Please Leave By Nine" cross-stitch kit if you want a relaxing activity you can do while curled up on your couch. Plus, you can hang it up when you're done to give guests a *subtle* hint to leave before your social battery runs low.

    Get it from The Stranded Stitch on Etsy for $22.

    16. A genius mug warmer so you can avoid getting off of your couch to reheat your hot cocoa over and over again. This will keep your fave bev from getting cold and you'll never have to pause your movie to microwave your drink.

    Promising review: "Cute mug warmer kept my coffee warm all day, I sometimes cannot finish the mug during work due to interruptions. I like that it has three different temperature settings. After turning it off, it will continue to blink red for several minutes warning you that it is still hot. But be assured that it will stop blinking and the unit is off. Would recommend to anyone needing to keep their coffee/tea warm." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $25.79+ (available in eight colors/styles).

    17. A tabletop glass fireplace for a cozy night making s'mores indoors. Unlike a fire pit, it's easy to assemble, compact, perfect for smaller spaces, and it can be used as a lantern or to roast some marshmallows.

    Get it from 1 Man 1 Garage on Etsy for $21+ (originally $28; available in deluxe which includes roasting sticks, sand, and lava stones).

    18. A tray that attaches to your couch's arm rest so you can keep your snacks, drinks, and phone within ~arm's reach~ so you don't have to get off of your sofa. Plus, it'll keep things organized so you won't have to lift your cushions or look under your couch to find your remote.

    Amazon

    One side is faux fur and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and the other size sets include two.

    Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it's seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard this thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this ... do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —SK

    Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes twin, queen, or king and 34 colors).

    24. A pair of fuzzy slippers if you want to be a couch potato — but make it fancy. These are cute and comfy yet they're also durable enough to wear outdoors, if you just want to sneak out to grab your Amazon boxes (just make it quick so you don't have to have awkward small talk with your neighbor).

    Promising review: "WOW just wow. I am SO impressed with these slippers. First of all, gorgeous color, obsessed. The fur is super soft. The bands across the foot are nicely made and keep the foot secure. With or without socks your feet don't slide around. The softish hard bottom that molds to your feet as you wear them, ARCH SUPPORT!!! Recently had surgery on my hip so I'm bearing weight on one leg only, and these slippers keep my leg from aching. Before I was walking barefoot and my leg would hurt so much by the end of the day. These slippers solve that problem for me. I recommend this to literally everyone, these slippers are a dream come true!" —Jozefa Karwowski

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–13 and 17 colors).

    25. An aesthetic laptop stand so you can check your emails or watch your fave show without having to hold your laptop in awkward positions while you're lounging in bed or on your couch.
