A cold gel eye mask
These eye masks promise to prevent puffiness and help you relax effectively. Use them frozen or heated — it’s totally up to you! You can wear one while you sleep to alleviate swollen eyes, or just slip it on between video calls any time you need a break during the day.
A massage ball
These roller balls, which come in tons of different colours, can be used to relieve pain by rolling them on your back, shoulders, legs, or anywhere else. They promise to make you feel less stiff by enhancing blood circulation. If you’re spending a lot of time sitting at home like we are these days, they’re a must!
Bear claw back scratchers
Who doesn’t love a good back scratch? These bear claws will have you feeling refreshed in no time. Plus, they’re collapsible, which makes them super easy to store!
Epsom salts
Nothing says “relaxing” like a long, warm bath. Epsom salts come in tons of different scents and will take your nightly routine to the next level. Pair them with a good book or some quiet music for the ultimate relaxation experience.
Relaxing bubble bath bombs
If you enjoy epsom salts, you’ll love using bubble bath bombs! Some are also vegan, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly, so you can enjoy your bath to the fullest.
Colouring books “for grown ups”
These whimsical colouring pages feature captivating themed illustrations which are enjoyable no matter your age. Some books even have perforated pages, making your creations super easy to tear out and display!
A jade roller
You’re sure to feel like a beauty expert with one of the many gorgeous jade rollers available on Amazon. These tools can be used alone or with your favourite face cream. You can also stick it in the freezer for a while to feel a soothing, cooling sensation as it rolls across your face.
Diamond paintings
Whether you’re a beginner or an expert at the art of diamond painting, you’re sure to enjoy putting together one of these fun art projects. After it’s done, you can hang it up to create a beautiful addition to any space, or gift it to a friend!
Head massage tinglers
How could we make a list of relaxing objects without including these, uh, tinglers? Apparently, they’re not only for your head — you can use them to massage your knee joints, ankles, and elbows! You’ll never know true relaxation until your knee joints have been tingled, so go on…what are you waiting for?
Scented candles
Last but not least, the humble candle is a calm, relaxing addition to just about any space. With hundreds of different scents to choose from on Amazon, you’re sure to find one — or five — to love.
