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

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 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.

24 Things For Gloomy Winter Days When You're Feeling Down
A therapy lamp to mimic the benefits of real sunshine(01 of24)
Open Image Modal
Reviewers say the Verilux HappyLight has had noticeable positive effects on their mood, sleep, and energy levels!

Promising review: "I don't typically write reviews, but this product is worthy of one. I have winter seasonal affective disorder. I have never experienced it before. I just thought SAD was a 'fancy medical term' that doctors made up to sell more drugs to people. I always thought that yeah, people get a little sad in the winter. Oh my goodness, winter depression is a REAL thing. It hit me so hard this year. I read a lot about light therapy and figured I'd give it a shot. After a few days of use, I had my first full day of not having the overwhelming urge to burst into tears. That was only one day. The few days I was kind of back to 'normal'...feeling sad, depressed, withdrawn. I kept with it, though. What I had read online said sometimes it takes a few weeks to notice a difference. For me, that was the case. I have had my light for four weeks now, I use it Monday through Friday. I try to remember to use it on the weekends, but I usually don't get the option. It has helped tremendously. It has been over a week since I've cried for no reason and I don't have the overwhelming urge to cry either. I join in conversations with my coworkers, I sit in the living room with my family instead of hiding away in my room, it's easier to get out of bed each morning. People don't constantly ask me 'What's wrong?' This light is amazing and 100% worth it!" —MO-girl

Open Image Modal
Promising review: "It’s been the best thing for my SADness. I wish I hadn’t waited until now to get one. I was so skeptical at first. Was like, meh, if nothing else, it’ll be an extra lamp. I live in the cold Midwest, where it’s now dark when I go to work and when I leave. My office is in the middle of the building with no sunshine whatsoever. Every year around this time, my coffee intake increases from none in the summer to a very large amount. The day I got the lamp, I used it and it was as if I drank all of my coffee straight away, minus the jitters and anxiety. It’s freaking wonderful! My energy and overall SADness has seemed to disappear. I thought it was a fluke so I continued to use it and the results are the same! I wish I had one at home for the weekends." —Dara

A soothing sunrise alarm clock designed to wake you up gently(03 of24)
Open Image Modal
The light comes on gradually, starting at 10% brightness and working its way up to 100% by 30 minutes before your wake-up time (though you can adjust this down to 20 or 10 minutes before), and you can have it play sounds of nature like songbirds, ocean waves, or a splashing creek. There's a similar process for falling asleep as well, with gradual light fading and sounds like pouring rain and crickets + campfire available to lull you asleep.

Promising review: "Delightful clock for the price. Has greatly improved my morning wake up. Normally, I dread waking up and suffer from seasonal depression, but with this lovely little clock and its slow wake-up, I FEEL BETTER. For the price, it can't be beat. It performs the function of much more expensive clocks. After sharing about my experience with friends, many of them have bought one as well, and all have had similar reactions. Best alarm clock out there." —Elle Dee

If you live in a major city, there are also candles available for specific cities like New York, Houston, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and more.

Promising review: "I got this as a surprise for my boyfriend. He moved to my state from Texas for college. I wasn't sure about how it would smell but I figured even if he wasn't a fan it would be neat as a decoration for his room. When I surprised him with the candle and he smelled it, he actually got very emotional and started crying because he said the smell instantly brought back so many memories of home. I don't know how they did it, but Homesick Candles managed to replicate the smell of home so well in this candle that it took my boyfriend back home immediately. Definitely worth my money. :)" —Bailey K.

A low maintenance plant that thrives in low light(24 of24)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "Ordered this plant for the front desk of my office. I love ZZ plants as they are beautiful and easy to grow — very low maintenance. I replanted it into a slightly bigger bright-green-painted terra-cotta pot and it is thriving. The key with ZZ plants is to not overwater it. I water lightly every Friday afternoon just around the bulbs. Then about once a month, I take the pot to the sink and allow a light stream from the tap to thoroughly soak the pot. I let it drain well then put it back on its saucer on the desk. Easy peasy! There are lots on new growth and a small branch that I accidentally broke while replanting and stuck in the dirt has rooted and is doing well. I was hesitant about ordering a live plant, but it came so well packaged, I wouldn't hesitate to do so again." —Melinda Walker
