  If your friend’s preferred form of stress relief is going for a long walk or run, then the SELF Sneaker Award–winning On Cloudmonster will make a cushy, bouncy, all-around lovely gift.

  Salux Beauty Wash Cloths

  If you’re looking for skin care stocking stuffers, consider the SELF Fave Salux Cloth, which one exfoliation-loving SELF writer considers a holy grail item. It shows rough and bumpy patches zero mercy, buffing them away until soft, smooth skin emerges.

• 3

  Manduka

  Eko Yoga Mat

  Any yogi will appreciate how the Manduka eKO mat’s ultra-grippy surface, which makes it easy to move through positions without sliding around. “My hands were almost glued to the mat during chaturangas and arm balances,” one SELF writer says in her review. “I stayed grounded and steady during one-legged balances. And I didn’t for one second feel like I was practicing in a puddle of my own sweat.”

• 4

  Renpho

  Foot Massager Machine

  Give your loved one’s aching feet a break with this highly rated heated foot massager. Reviewers note that it has a powerful range of settings (from low-impact kneading to deep pressure), so there’s room for all levels of relief.

• 5

  WalkingPad

  Folding Treadmill P1

  Help them hit their daily step count goal with this walking pad. It’s small enough that they’ll be able to set it up in almost any room, plus it folds to slide under a bed or couch easily.

  Our Place

  Wonder Oven Air Fryer and Toaster Oven

  The Wonder Oven (a SELF Fave!) from Our Place air-fries, bakes, broils, roasts, toasts—and looks pretty darn cute too. It’ll save your friend valuable time and effort, so they can get to relaxing and enjoying their tasty meal in less time.

• 7

  Craighill Tycho Puzzle

  If they have trouble sitting still even when they’re relaxing, give them this 100-piece puzzle, which features an image that would appeal to any organization-obsessed person.

• 8

  Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones

  The AirPods Max won me over as soon as I plopped them over my ears on a flight and entered my own little bubble. As an anxious flier, I was relieved to only have the sounds of Friends in my ear instead of freaky plane noises. If your giftee can’t focus when there’s chatter around or is always getting lost in their favorite podcast, spoil them with these sleek headphones.

• 9

  Laneige

  Lip Sleeping Mask

  Laneige’s buzzy overnight lip mask impressed one SELF staffer with its nourishing yet lightweight feel: “It’s deeply hydrating—my lips actually feel fuller when I wake up—without feeling sticky or oily.” Your giftee will thank you when the winter dryness rolls in.

• 10

  Oofos

  Oocoozie Thermo Mule

  These OOFOS recovery slides are like a little treat for their feet after a long day at work. In her review, SELF’s fitness director says they feel like stepping on a cloud: “There’s structure to the footbed that made my feet feel really supported and—dare I say it—cradled.”

• 11

  Tushy Classic Bidet

  A bidet would make a thoughtful present for a pal, parent, or significant other, because who doesn’t want a fresh bum? The Healthy Home Award–winning Tushy Classic is an ideal starter pick: It has a minimalist design and just a few simple settings.

• 12

  Maude

  Vibe

  One former SELF editor adores her Maude Vibe, which she says is whisper-quiet, powerful, and highly portable. It could be a nice gift for a partner, as it sends a thoughtful reminder to take time for self-love. It’s great for beginners too, since it’s small and only has three intensity settings.

• 13

  Slip Silk Pillowcase (Queen Size)

  This SELF Fave silk pillowcase will make your giftee’s sleep routine a little more luxe. Not only can it potentially prevent frizzy hair, but it will also stay cool to the touch throughout the night (which could help them snooze more soundly).

• 14

  UrbanStems Subscription

  If they love coming home to a bright, fragrant bouquet of fresh flowers, you can make it a routine thing with an UrbanStems subscription. There are a few subscription options to choose from, but all of them ensure easy delivery of bold, beautiful floral curations on a regular basis.

  Cost: Gift subscription plans start at $55 per delivery.

• 15

  Nekteck

  Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager

  This neck massager attained SELF Fave status for its price point, ease of use, and the fact that it made one editor feel like she was being kneaded “like a slab of dough.” How’s that for a ringing endorsement?

• 16

  Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle

  Several SELF staffers swear by this water bottle—one editor says it’s her secret to staying hydrated: “I’m convinced it’s the only contraption I’ll drink from again.” It has a straw for sipping and a spout for guzzling, but both are housed under a lockable, leakproof lid, so they’ll stay clean (and their water won’t spill).

• 17

  Layla

  Weighted Blanket (20-lb.)

  One SELF editor loves the feel of this SELF Fave Layla weighted blanket because it soothes her mind and body: “If you’re looking for one that is soft, versatile, easy to keep clean, and very, very effective at delivering on the promise of cocooning you away from the world under a solid mass of coziness, the Layla is my recommendation.”

• 18

  Lululemon Double Roller Mini

  One of the prettiest foam rollers we’ve laid eyes on, Lululemon’s Double Roller can help relieve muscle tension, particularly in the arms and legs. As the name implies, it contains an additional interior roller for your back, so it’s like two wellness gifts in one.

  Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

  This SELF Well-Read Book Club pick is a great resource for everyone, but it makes an even more special self-care gift for the overworked, burnt out, or plain old exhausted individuals in your life. The chapters cover a lot of ground, touching on subjects like how to create spaces that promote dreaming and why resting is radical.

• 20

  Yogasleep Dohm The Original White Noise Machine

  We recommend this white noise machine for anyone who needs a peaceful hum to fall asleep. (Or for the person who doesn’t want their roommates overhearing their Zoom calls.)

• 21

  Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Hydra-Gel Eye Patches

  These hydrating eye masks will come in handy when your favorite skin care enthusiast is traveling or trying to create a spa-like experience from the comfort of their couch.

• 22

  Pure Enrichment PureRelief XL Heating Pad

  SELF’s editor in chief recommends this heating pad for its velvety texture and ability to soothe large muscle groups: “I actually liked it so much, I bought it twice. Now I have one I keep at home and one that stays at my office desk,” she wrote. It has six temperature settings and a two-hour automatic shutoff (in case your recipient falls asleep with it on).

• 23

  Brooklinen

  Washed Linen Core Sheet Set

  I couldn’t have imagined how comfy sleeping on linen sheets would be, until my mom gifted me these last year. They don’t trap heat in the summer, but they’re also not cool to the touch in the winter, so they’re perfectly breathable year-round. They’ll definitely thank you for bringing these sheets into their life.

• 24

  Thisworks Deep Sleep Pillow Spray

  Anyone who wants to make their sleep routine a little dreamier will love spritzing Thisworks’s Deep Sleep Pillow Spray before hitting the hay. It uses a blend of floral essential oils to really zhuzh up their linens.

• 25

  Merrell Hut Ultra Wrap

  This Sneaker Award–winning sandal has a thick foam sole that one tester described as “beyond comfortable.” Your giftee can wear it around the house, post-workout, or after a long day on their feet. It’s also a supportive option for taking the dog around the block, running errands, or getting some gardening done.

  Available in sizes 5 to 11.

• 26

  Calm Gift Subscription

  Calm’s meditations are excellent for plane rides, work stress, winding down before bed, and pretty much any time your loved one feels like their brain is on fire. A gift subscription can give them a year—or a lifetime—of access to the app’s library of guided meditations, sleep sounds, focus music, and more.

  Cost: Gift cards for a one-year subscription cost $70; ones for a lifetime membership cost $400.

• 27

  Papier My Wellness Journal

  For the person who’s just getting into journaling, we’d suggest this wellness notebook that comes with ideas for reflecting on their goals and habits, as well as space to catalog points of gratitude.

• 28

  Maude

  Tub Kit No. 1

  Anyone who loves a good tub moment after a long day might enjoy a set of scented bath salts and a coconut-milk-based soak. Maude’s kit has warm notes of amber, cedar leaf, and tonka bean.

• 29

  Theragun

  Mini

  The Home Fitness Award–winning Theragun Mini is designed to ease muscle tightness through percussive massage. SELF’s editor in chief raved about it too, saying, “At one pound, it’s perfectly compact, and I can easily use it with one hand without getting tired. For such a small device, the Mini still gets the job done.”

• 30

  Chronicle Books Yoga Dice

  To switch up their regular yoga flow and stretching routine, they can roll the dice (literally). This unique kit includes seven wooden cubes, one for each chakra, with images of different poses on each side.

• 31

  Bear Butt Double Hammock

  Sometimes, lying between two trees and staring up at the stars is all they need to rejuvenate. This Outdoor Awards–winning hammock can hold up to 500 pounds and is six feet wide, so they can snuggle up with someone they love (maybe even you?).

• 32

  Ban.do Feeling Feelings Card Deck

  Not only is this deck of cards fun to look at, but it’s also an excellent tool for navigating emotions. Each card features a prompt like: “What’s one thing you can do today to begin cultivating your joyful legacy?” They make good conversation starters or journal exercises as well.

• 33

  Rare Beauty

  Mini Find Comfort Lotion & Fragrance Set

  I tried the body lotion in this duo for our Healthy Beauty Awards, and it immediately won me over with its light, silky texture. But the real star of the show is the fresh, earthy scent, which your giftee will also get to try in perfume form.

• 34

  Nodpod Weighted Sleep Mask

  Here’s another weighted blanket—but for their eyes. The heavy microbeads in this SELF Fave sleep mask are designed to ease tension and prevent it from sliding off. The super-soft fabric also gloriously blocks out light.

• 35

  Ember

  Temperature Control Smart Mug 2 (10 oz.)

  Bring some relief to their workday (especially on a chilly morning) with this SELF Fave rechargeable smart mug. It’ll keep your giftee’s tea or coffee warm for as long as they like.

• 36

  Coway

  Airmega 100

  This Healthy Home Award–winning air purifier is a thoughtful, handy gift you know they’ll use every day. We really like that the top changes colors to indicate the room’s air quality (good, moderate, unhealthy, or very unhealthy).

• 37

  PharMeDoc Pregnancy Pillow

  For the pregnant person or staunch side-sleeper on your list, consider this SELF Fave body pillow. One editor (who was “decidedly not pregnant” at the time) found that it soothed her chronic back pain and supported her body through the night: “It’s basically like I’m getting spooned by a giant teddy bear. So damn cozy.”

• 38

  Jisulife 3-in-1 Handheld Fan

  On-the-go temperature control is arguably the greatest gift you can give someone who runs hot. This SELF Fave handheld fan kept our former commerce editor cool on long walks, commutes, and outdoor dining excursions.

• 39

  Sistine

  Stretch Good Body Oil

  This Healthy Beauty Award–winning body oil will look great on their bathroom vanity. Even better, it’ll moisturize their skin with a mix of botanical oils. One tester says this feels super luxe: “I’ve never had a good body oil before, and now I don’t know how I lived without one. I’m obsessed with the scent—it smells like an expensive hotel product (clean and fresh but not oppressive), and it mixes nicely with other fragrances.”

• 40

  Sculpd Candle Making Kit

  This pottery kit puts a creative spin on the ubiquitous scented candle gift. It provides your craft-loving friend with the supplies to make the candle of their dreams, complete with a pleasing scent like rose or peach blossom. You can even add a paint or pen set to the kit if they have a flair for decoration.

• 41

  Click & Grow Indoor Herb Garden Kit With Grow Light

  This indoor garden grows fresh herbs that your favorite foodies and home mixologists can use to garnish dishes or muddle in drinks. It has a small-enough footprint for cramped kitchens or those with little counter space.

• 42

  Anyday The Meal Prep Set

  Give the gift of convenient home meals with this set of microwave- and freezer-friendly cookware. SELF’s EIC tested the set, writing that it took basically no time at all to whip up an incredible dinner: “Since testing this cookware, I’ve evangelized it to everyone I know and even bought the starter set for my BFF for her birthday. I’m obsessed!”

• 43

  Ostrichpillow Go Luxury Travel Pillow

  For your loved ones who are always on the go, this travel pillow will be a welcome upgrade to that standard donut-shaped neck pillow they hastily bought at the airport. “It’s the only solution that actually allows me to pass out at 30,000 feet…in coach,” one SELF contributor wrote. “It’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made.”

• 44

  Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe

  It’s way easier to step out of a blissfully warm shower when you know you have a warm, cushy bath robe waiting for you. I highly recommend giving this one as a gift—it absorbs any last drops of water my towel missed and feels super soft and hefty without weighing me down.

• 45

  Kindle Paperwhite

  They’ll fly through books (and hit their Goodreads goal!) after you introduce them to the Kindle Paperwhite. “The compact design is easy to hold for long periods of time, meaning my hands and wrists never get tired in the middle of a plot twist,” one SELF editor wrote in her review. Bonus: The screen doesn’t have any glare, so they can read outside, and it’s totally waterproof (hey, accidents happen).

• 46

  Homecourt

  Mandarin Basile Hand Wash

  The hand soap in this set received a perfect 10 from all testers during SELF’s Healthy Home Awards. Its citrusy basil scent is so delicious and fresh that they’ll want to wash their hands all the time (luckily, this set includes hand lotion too).

• 47

  Hey Dewy

  Wireless Facial Humidifier

  Another winner from our Healthy Home Awards: This tiny humidifier that’s the perfect size for a desk, nightstand, or car cup holder. “While it’s small, I noticed my skin felt significantly less dry once I started using it consistently, and it’s tiny enough that I can even travel with it,” one tester said.

• 48
