Best for young-at-heart adults

Mindfulness Coloring Book

• Price: $
• Who it’s best for: creative types

Adult coloring books are a comforting, familiar way to focus the mind and relax the body. This mindfulness coloring book is filled with dreamy, creative illustrations and patterns (along with gentle reminders to breathe).

Illustrations are printed on single-sided sheets, so bleeding ink won’t ruffle anyone’s feathers and take them out of the moment.

Best for calmness on-the-go

Saje Pocket Farmacy Mindful Edition

• Price: $$$
• Who it’s best for: anyone looking to bring a particular energy wherever they are

Aromatherapy is a holistic treatment that frequently uses essential oils and fragrant plant extracts (lavender, eucalyptus, or tea tree, for example) to improve the health of the mind, body, and spirit. This grounding treatment can be used to unwind or ease stress.

The mindful edition of the Pocket Farmacy from Saje means your gift recipient has essential oil roll-ons to promote awareness, stillness, focus, and energy, no matter where they go. The five blends can be used in myriad ways — they can rub it into their palms and cup their hands over the nose and mouth, breathing deeply. For on-the-go relaxation, giftees can apply oils to pulse points for a quick moment of (fragrant) Zen.

Best for an immediate ambiance boost

Happyhaves Full Moon Diffuser

• Price: $$$
• Who it’s best for: those looking to transform their physical space and headspace

This beautiful, cordless diffuser is a mini replica of the moon. Made of textured, BPA-free plastic and recycled wood, the artisan design doubles as a diffuser and a lamp. Your gift recipient can enjoy the fragrance of their favorite essential oil and choose from three glow options that mimic the moon’s natural light.

A dimming feature makes it perfect for enjoying late at night, and the diffuser manages to capture the same soothing wonder that comes from gazing at the moon.

Best for a meditation ritual

Avocado Green Meditation Pillow

• Price: $$$
• Who it’s best for: those who want to start (or amp up) their meditation ritual

With its ideal shape and height, this organic meditation pillow from Avocado will elevate your gift recipient’s meditation practice (in more ways than one). The buckwheat fill offers firm yet comfortable support that yields to curves and properly supports the spine, allowing you to channel your thoughts, focus your mind, and breathe. Plus, the sturdy handle is a smart design feature that makes this pillow easier to tote around.

Best for bringing the great outdoors inside

I’m Outside Forest Bathing Spray

• Price: $$
• Who it’s best for: outdoor lovers who are soothed by woodsy scents

I’m Outside captured forest air and bottled it. Giftees can spritz this super refreshing scent and take a few deep breaths as an immediate shortcut to feeling calmer and more balanced, even when stuck inside.

The self-care mist (don’t mistake it for a perfume or a home fragrance) blends tree oil phytoncides from cypress, spruce, Japanese mint, and pine with vitamin D3 and microalgae for a little dose of positive energy. You can’t help but lose yourself in the moment in the very best way.

Best for powerful relaxation

Slow North Eye Mask + Neck Wrap Bundle

With its subdued solstice pattern, this eye mask and neck wrap set are designed for ultimate relaxation. You can drape the wrap around the neck and slip the mask over the eyes for a few minutes of soothing, mindful relief.

Handmade with 100% cotton and linen and filled with unscented lentils, both the neck wrap and the eye mask can be applied warm or cold and makes for a wonderful, functional gift.

What wisdom does the universe hold? Roll and see.

Best for an easy, artsy activity

Zen Wishing Stone

• Price: $$
• Who it’s best for: those looking for a new or different way to relieve anxiety

Painting with water on stone is a quiet meditation that’s been practiced for thousands of years by Zen Buddhist monks, and this set makes the practice accessible to just about anyone. This simple slate tablet and brush deliver a lesson in impermanence (a Buddhist belief in the ongoing process of living and dying at the same time). As the water evaporates, designs and words disappear. Your gift recipient can use it, again and again, to get thoughts, struggles, and affirmations out of their head and into the world, to practice calligraphy, or just to doodle.

Best for mindfulness on the go

Breathwrk

Best for combating loneliness and fatigue

Saatva Organic Weighted Blanket

• Price: $$$
• Who it’s best for: anyone in need of a solid night’s rest

The idea behind weighted blankets is that they feel similar to being hugged, known as “deep pressure stimulation.” And this can help you relax into a good night’s rest.

This organic cotton weighted blanket is the ultimate in cozy comfort. It contains all-natural glass beads that offer even, soothing, gentle pressure to promote calmness and relaxation.

Best for starting the day off strong

Lumie Bodyclock Alarm Clock

This alarm clock is pretty unique, as it uses mixed LED lighting technology to emulate the sunrise and sunset’s colors and light. That means you’re waking up with light as close to a natural state as possible.

The dimmable clock features adjustable sunrise intensity and duration of up to 30 minutes, a nightlight, tap-control snooze, and more. You can even add in an alarm beep if you need the extra nudge. Plus, the display automatically adjusts to your room’s light level and shuts off when it’s dark.

Best for relieving stiff, tight muscles on demand

Shakti Mat
