A bag of lavender-scented epsom salt because there's no better pick-me-up than a nice, hot bath
Promising review: "I have muscle spasms due to pinched nerves, so I know the quality of epsom salts based on my body’s reaction. These epsom salts are my new staple. I take 3-4 hours baths often (while I listen to audio books), I never need to buy Dr. T’s again. Or any other. Price, scent, value — these have it all. It equals about a dollar a pound. Which is as inexpensive as I’ve found for epsom salts that are good quality. I’m honestly never buying other salts again. There’s no need. Oh, also, they leave no residue like some salts. Tub stays clean!" —jveeg

Or if you're more of a shower person, a set of six aromatherapy shower steamers
Promising review: "I LOVE that these are animal friendly and made with natural ingredients.

These are SO perfect for little gift baskets, Mother's Day, birthdays, house warming gifts, etc. Since they are individually wrapped, you can split them up for Easter baskets or stocking stuffers!" —Kevin

A pair of high-waisted leggings with pockets
Promising review: "So happy with these! I am a barre/pilates instructor and have been able to workout in these and wash them a few times to give them a full test. They are definitely a good dupe for Lululemon align leggings! Very comfy, not too compressive, more like a hug with lots of stretch. The higher waist hits right where it should and the 7/8 length is perfect. So happy I bought these, will definitely buy more!" —Claire J. Ibach

A 12-pack of face masks for an at-home pamper night
Promising review: "I love these masks. I have sensitive skin that's especially finicky when it comes to facial masks. These don't irritate my skin, and I actually saw a noticeable improvement after just a couple uses. I'm usually not a fan of sheet masks, but these were easy to apply and were not annoying or a hindrance while on my face. I love that there's so many different recipes with the benefit of each listed on the packet. I bought two packages and just have a huge bag of them now to pick from, which is super fun. Also, the extra serum at the bottom of the packet is a great feature, and it's not sticky or uncomfortable to rub in after removing the mask." —Emma Dean

A pack of cinnamon-flavored energy supplements that will keep you focused and energized
Promising review: "As a medical student, this has been an amazing addition to my daily study regimen. Same amazing boost as the Diet Coke and coffee I used to chug, but without the jitters, crash/headache, or teeth staining. It's become my new go-to for staying awake and alert in the OR or on the wards. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a pick-me-up but doesn't want that wired sensation you get from coffee." —R.

I thought it was gonna be more complicated than it was but it was very easy and relaxing. Felt like I had been to a spa at home. Rejuvenating plus I actually saw a difference. I would recommend this product to other. Very inexpensive and affordable for something that really makes a difference and work!

And to use with your new essential oil, this mini diffuser that's portable, gives off strong scent, comes in five cute colors
Promising review: "This diffuser is great! It works better than some from other companies that are double and triple the price. Very easy to use. It doesn't take up a lot of space and the steam comes out strong, so you can smell your oils very well. The light feature is great, you can set it to one color, let it rotate or turn it off easily. Seriously considering buying another one because I am very impressed by the quality at such a great price. Thank you!" —Kris

An adult coloring book to help you de-stress, calm down and do something creative for a moment

A Maybelline matte ink liquid lipstick because is there a better mood booster than a great red lip?

The color I'm wearing is pioneer." —tkwaye

A stained glass window film with a rainbow effect that will flood your room with a colorful mirage
Promising review: "I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall." —J. B.

A retro-style mini bluetooth speaker so you can blast your music and dance your blues away. You'll want one in every room, and luckily it comes in six fun colors you'll love.
Promising review: "The retro speaker is worth the money. The feature I like the best is while streaming music if my phone rings the music returns after the phone stops ringing. I've had other speakers that just shut off after the phone rings. I'm using this speaker in my bathroom to have music while I shower. For me, it works exactly as I expected." —B. J. Whitesell

A stress ball to help you manage stress and relieve anxiety
Promising review: "I work as a school counselor and this little guy sits in my desk and is used nearly every day... either by me or my students. It is well-made and I consider it a 'professional' level stress ball! It's not like those cheap 'foam' balls that most people associate with stress balls. This could also serve as a very useful hand-strengthening tool. I would happily buy it again!" —Matthew K.
