30 Stress Relief Gifts That Will Bring Instant Relaxation and Calm

Without getting too deep into the specifics, there’s a lot to be stressed out about these days on a personal, national, and global scale. Tack on the fact that anxiety and depression tend to spike around the holidays and, well, the struggle is real. It’s more important now than ever to take care of you and those around you. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to help ourselves and the people we love to take the edge off. One of our favorites? Stress relief gifts.

Sometimes the best gift you can give someone (or yourself) is the gift of relaxation. The opportunity to self indulge, take a breath, practice some self care, and ease your racing mind is priceless—and we have some pretty amazing ideas for things you can wrap up with a pretty bow and place under this year’s Christmas tree to help make the holiday season a little more chill. Sure, a gift card to a spa is nice but something that can give and give again (like soothing moisturizers and therapy dough) can't be beat.

From back massagers, calming tea, and weighted blankets, to aromatherapy, and bath bombs, we’ve found something for everyone on your holiday shopping list. And the best part? These stress relief gift ideas are all aimed at self-soothing, chilling out, and generally providing a state of inner zen.

Check out our top picks for stress relief gifts, and maybe put a second one in your cart to buy yourself a little something extra for a calm ending to 2022.
