Promising review: “Ahhh I love these so much, takes doodling to a whole new level! It’s an anxiety relief like you wouldn’t believe. Plus my kids also get a kick out of them. These are so worth it and I’m going to be keeping these stocked up!” —Katie Toomey

Promising review: “I’m 17 and I loved this. In the intro it says the page instructions are all up to interpretation, so if it says ‘spill your drink’ or something you can take that literally or choose to paint on it with something such as tea or coffee that’ll look like brown watercolor. Which I love that it’s bizarre prompts but that you have wiggle room if you don’t want to do anything too crazy. I would recommend this if you’re just looking for something fun or if you’re going through some challenges this is really helpful to distract/express/push yourself!” —Marlee

I don’t think my sister knows how to survive without blackout curtains — she swears by them. Hang up a set of these bad boys and you’ll learn to sleep until noon all winter long. These curtains are made with an energy smart fabric that balances room temperature by insulating against summer heat and winter chills. Amazing!

Promising review: “Exactly what I was looking for. I have 41″ x 41″ windows and I used two panels on each one. Stunning color — I ordered teal for my coral-and-teal color-schemed bedroom. They block out sunlight very well. I’m so happy! Quick shipping and they came undamaged. Good quality, thick and soft too. Almost feels like velvet.” —Sarah

I actually did buy this for my best friend when she was starting to get so stressed out about her daily migraines. It helped immensely!

Promising review: “I can’t give this product enough stars! I have suffered from debilitating chronic migraines for years. Prescription medications, while effective, usually make me extremely tired and result in rebound headaches, so I rarely take them. This oil blend is especially great for the days when I have a migraine, but am unable to stay home and rest. This takes the edge off the pain enough that I am still able to go about my day and do everything I need to do. I also love the way it smells. I sometimes roll it on my wrists just to enjoy the energizing fragrance.” —Lacey V

Promising review: “There have been so many times where I wanted to try a tea but didn’t want to commit to a whole box if I end up not liking it. If you find yourself in similar situations, this is a great way to try them out. I was surprised by how many I never had before that I liked. Even for those who aren’t up for experimenting, this at least gives you a good variety just to have around the house. Would probably work well as a gift too.” —Nuzzdad

My colleague AnaMaria Glavan spoke highly of this mask. She said:

“The black sugar ‘seeds’ exfoliate the crap (literally) out of your skin and get all the gunk out of your pores, but doesn’t dry it out to the point where your forehead is crying ‘moisturize me’ in a hoarse whisper. Plus, the scent of strawberries actually makes my mouth water. It’s berry amazing. Ultimately, my skin feels smoother, doesn’t feel tight, and looks brighter because of the Vitamin C ingredients. My blackhead-ridden nose is, in particular, forever in debt to this amazing mask.”

Promising review: “I love these! I no longer dread putting on my face products. I was using my fingers to apply the product to my face, but it was so messy and got in my nails, too. When I came across these silicone brushes I knew I had to have them. They are amazing and the low price is a steal. These brushes really changed my routine. I use my facial products more often because I’m no longer worried about the annoying mess. The silicone brush is very flexible and spreads the product on my face nicely. Cleaning the brush is a simple task, just rinse and pat dry. Highly recommended!” —Wells Family

Promising review: “I was looking for something natural and low maintenance, and this is perfect. I purchased Crush — you can layer it if your in the mood for a stronger look or keep it light and simple for everyday.” —Anya

Get it from Glossier for $18 (available in six shades).

Knitting takes a lot of patience and focus — or at least that’s how I felt when I took my first stab at it. You can turn on one of your favorite movies or shows, kick back and relax, and knit to your heart’s content. No anxiety included in this plan. The kit comes with three skeins of petite wool, wooden knitting needles, the sewing pattern, a small knitter’s sewing needle, and an embroidered label.

Promising review: “Perfect for beginners and very easy to make! The year is very soft and squishy. My daughter is going to love this once I finish it. Highly recommend fo beginners or any level knitter.” —HLC0987

Get it from We Are Knitters for $63 (available in 15 colors).

If it were up to me, I would leave my Christmas lights up inside my home all year long. These twinkle lights are a great way to create that look without being overtly holiday-themed. Tinker Bell would certainly approve!

Promising review: “I saw a few pictures online of fairy lights with sheer curtains and loved the look. These lights in particular are perfect for what I was looking for. It gives off a warm cozy glow, and really adds a nice touch of oomph to the room.” —NG

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

Promising review: “These eye masks are absolutely amazing! I have hereditary dark circles under my eyes, as well as slight bags from being a mother of four. Eye creams do absolutely nothing for me, and I gave these a try just on a whim, not really expecting much. But they really work! The results aren’t permanent, but I put these on for about an hour in the evening while I relax and watch TV, and my under eyes are much lighter and less puffy. I absolutely love these eye masks, and I will never be without them again.” —Kate Johnson

Promising review: “A very fun coloring book. I have already had friends call dibs on the different pages once I have them colored in. Each animal has their own personality and story to tell, and as you add colors and textures, it’s like meeting a new friend!” —Rachel S.

I have one of these babies and it really is wonderful. Not only does it make me feel like I’m really getting in there while I’m washing my hair, but it also recreates that feeling you get when your hairdresser massages your head while washing it. Ugh, so good.

Promising review: “Love this product! About five days before I received it I dyed my hair at home. As some of you may know who do the same, it’s difficult to get the hair dye out of your scalp. I scrubbed my hair for days with my fingers and it seemed like everything was gone because the water ran clear. When I received the product I was excited so I am immediately jumped in the shower to use it. To my surprise a ton of hair dye that was stuck on my head came off. Not only that, but my scalp feels breathable and clean. Definitely not greasy 24 hours later like regular shampooing would do for me. I would recommend this product.” —Lisa Agro

Promising review: “I’m having a blast with this miniature Magic 8 Ball. It sits on the table by my recliner for easy access. With it, I’m now free of the majority of decision-making in my life which relieves me of any stress, anxiety, or uncertainty that might come over me at any moment. I no longer have to take any responsibility for my actions; I can just blame it on the 8 Ball. It fits easily into almost any sized pocket, so, if I’m going out, I can take it along and let it play the same role in my life. This ability to take my new decision-maker with me in smaller form is great! It’s a nice return to my childhood, inexpensive, and a much-needed reprieve from the stress of our contemporary society. Everyone should have one and have some light-hearted fun!” —ALW

I have one of these cool cups and have been really impressed with it. I recently used it early one morning when I was craving a cup of hot tea but had to run some errands. It pops open really easily, feels very durable, and keeps my drink hot.

Promising review: “Love this cup. I was originally turned off to it due to the size of the top section, however it’s not as big as it looks online and it’s the perfect size. It will fit most purses but not likely women’s pant pockets. After filling it with water I shook the cup and there was no leaking. Even after I finished my latte and collapsed the cup there was no residue leakage at all. The cup didn’t get excessively hot either. The cup also had mL markers on the inside which is wonderful. I highly recommend this product!” —HR

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in 3 sizes and 16 colors).

Promising review: “These are SO CUTE! They are super soft and squishy. They have a decent scent. They don’t leave residue on anything when you’re playing with them. They are fun to play with and they help release stress and anxiety.” —Yesenia Cuevas

I have this little foam roller and use it almost every night. I roll my spine over it and it releases all the tension in a series of very satisfying cracks. Get one — add it into your pre-bedtime ritual!

Promising review: “My chiropractor recommended I buy the 36” version of this for some daily routine back stretching to do at home. This product has been amazing for stretching, and massaging sore muscles throughout my back and shoulders. I feel very supported by this roller and have had no issues with it thus far. I weigh 200 pounds and have yet to damage this roller after weeks of use. Overall very pleased with this product. And at such a great price, I honestly can’t find a single negative remark to note about it.” —Luke Marrs

Get it from Amazon for $11.13+ (available in four sizes and seven styles).

Promising review: “Love how little space these take up. My closet is pretty small so getting these types of hangers was a must. Clothes don’t slip from the hangers which is nice because with the plastic ones, my tank tops and dresses would always fall off. You can even hang pants too. ” —Amazonian

Promising review: “It’s a miracle! I am 45 years old and have tried every product over the years — my mom used to put everything imaginable on my fingernails to keep them out of my mouth, my grandma tried to pay me to grow my fingernails out, but still, here I was at 45 with horrible nails. This has been a miracle. I can’t describe the taste but will just say that it makes me not want my hands anywhere near my face. Yes, it is difficult to eat finger food with this on — I went to Florida recently and had to have my husband peel my shrimp for me. 🙂 But, it is a small price to pay to break this habit.” —Laurie S.

Get it from Amazon for $15.50.

Promising review: “I’ve had this ring for about two weeks now and just had to write a review. I’ve had the nervous/bored habit of picking at my fingers since I was a kid. I can’t remember the last time I’ve not had at least one nail bed torn up and bloody. For people with similar habits, I can’t recommend this ring enough. It’s a great, nondistracting way to redirect fidgety behaviors. I’ve worn it every day since receiving it and for the first time in years I have intact nail beds! Every time I catch myself starting to pick at a dry patch of skin or uneven cuticle on my finger, I rotate the ring a few times and the impulse disappears.” —KGL

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in sizes 4–12 and nine styles).

Promising review: “I’ve been having so many issues with my feet the last few years. My feet hurt so bad, it’s made me become a hermit. I’ve had tendinitis in both and now plantar fasciitis. I get foot cramps all the time. After just one day with this under my desk at work, I feel a huge difference. My feet no longer feel tight and painful. They feel tingly — in a good way. I look forward to being able to go for a walk and not have to rest along the way. I know it’s meant for feet but I may try it out on my calves. I also love that it’s small, looks nice and doesn’t slide around. I highly recommended this for anyone, foot issues or not, if you sit a lot. Nice way to keep the blood flowing when stuck at a desk.” —Vanessa Thomas

I have a few of these beauties and cannot say enough good things about them. As someone who loves crystals and meditation, these soaps are simply breathtaking. I keep the Spirit of Eternity soap (complete with an opalite crystal) at my desk because it’s so gorgeous and use Fountain of Prosperity at home to wash up. Why NOT bring all the good vibes into your life, right? Each of these soaps comes from a woman-owned small business you can absolutely feel good about supporting :).

Get them from Crystal Bar Soap; both Spirit of Eternity (left) and Fountain of Prosperity for $14 (right).

Promising review: “I am a grad student in a very strenuous program and I like staying busy that way. But on breaks, when I have too much time, I sink into nothingness. I didn’t expect this book to do much, especially since I thought ‘mindfulness’ was some BS. Even if it’s the same prompts every day, it’s what you make out of the book. I like mentally checking off the three small accomplishments I held myself accountable for in ink, somehow the book is better than my Post-it note to-do lists. And the main reason for the five stars, it helps with my depression.” —KellBell

Get it from Amazon for $14.81.

These vegan and cruelty-free patches come in two different sizes, so you can count on them to cover an array of different types and sizes of pimples. It blends it *so* seamlessly — I know this because I tried it out myself! I have relatively sensitive skin and these didn’t bother me at all. I was amazed by how much the little patch absorbed. I left it on over night and the next morning my pimple had very little redness and was much flatter than before using the patch.

Promising review: “I am really incredibly impressed with these. I have not had any problem with them sticking on overnight. They do a great job with the really deep acne that normally causes me problems for a week. Drained one in an hour! They are also very clear. Impressed! Especially for the price.” —Michelle
