The acupressure points on the mat and pillow are designed to ease tension along their back, neck, or anywhere else they'd like to pinpoint. To use, all they have to do is lie down on the ground or their bed. "At first, the idea of lying on thousands of acupressure points seemed intimidating, but the promise of stress and pain relief was too tempting to ignore," one reviewer wrote. "With regular use, I noticed a significant improvement in my chronic pain and sleep quality."

"The Five Minute Journal" went viral for a reason. Whether they already love journaling, or they're looking to be more mindful, this is a great gift for the high-stress people in your life. With quick and consistent prompts, this journal will help them exercise more gratitude each day. As former PS editor India Yaffe explained in her full review, "It's a great way for me to set an intention for my day, start with gratitude, and remind myself of what's really worth prioritizing. I find that when I write down my intentions, I really am more mindful throughout the day, and I use the nighttime prompts as a way to reflect on the good, and bad, parts of my day."

Nodpod Gentle Pressure Sleep Mask in Wisteria ($34)

Whether they're traveling, napping, or lounging around at home, this "weighted blanket for your eyes" is sure to help you unwind.

I experienced the former using my Nodpod," former PS editor Murphy Moroney wrote in her full review. "As someone who has always wanted a weighted blanket but never truly felt like splurging, this product is a great middle ground."

Canopy Bedside Humidifier in Lavender ($150)

Not only will this bedside humidifier help them breathe easier at night — they can also use it for aromatherapy to further unwind. "I noticed an immediate difference in my cough and cold symptoms the morning after using it for the first time," PS editor Anvita Reddy wrote in her full review. "The new humidifier has two new features that enhance your bedtime routine: a nightlight setting and a white noise setting. I use the warm white light when I'm reading before bed, but I primarily try to keep it on the red light setting when I'm doing my nighttime routine to help set the mood for bedtime."

The Comfy Original in Burgundy ($50)

For all the cozy vibes, the Comfy is the way to go. This wearable oversized blanket is perfect for anyone who'd rather spend their weekends at home watching movies.

I find myself reaching for it whenever I'm feeling a little chilly or just in need of some extra comfort."

Besides looking incredibly chic, this planner is also designed to help them plan their day hour-by-hour, so they never feel stressed or underprepared. "It offers four different page views: a zoomed-out look at the entire year, a monthly breakdown, a weekly layout, and a fourth portion, which gives users the chance to break down their daily schedule, with a separate page for each day in the entire year," PS editor Kyley Warren writes in her full review. "The journal feels less like a traditional planner and more like a life book that allows me to write out my to-do list down to the hour or even strategize my goals four months in advance. Talk about range."

This rechargeable shiatsu eye massager will help relieve tension from eye fatigue and eye strain, especially after looking at screens all day.

A weighted blanket is a helpful tool for those dealing with anxiety, and this one from Bearaby doubles as something they'll want to display in their homes. The woven knit pattern looks great spread out on a sofa or bed, and it's available in a variety of calming colors — plus, you can choose between 10, 15, 20, and 25 pounds. "One thing I adore about the Bearaby Cotton Napper is its knitted design, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but provides a cooling effect," PS editor Marisa Petrarca said in her full review. "It's made of 95 percent organic cotton and features an open-weaved texture, making it ultra-breathable. I also appreciate there isn't an inner layer of beads or sand. (These are two material options commonly used by brands to make their blankets heavy.)"

Eberjey Gisele Tencel Modal Rib Relaxed Short PJ Set in Wedgewood Blue ($148)

These pajamas are so comfortable, they'll want to wear them all day long. Made with cooling tencel modal, this set is made for better sleep — especially if they already run hot. We also love the relaxed fit of the top and bottoms for comfort and lounging. "I'm not joking when I say that I've never worn a pair of pajamas as comfortable as these," says PS editor Kyley Warren in her full review. "The style is remarkably soft and lightweight, with a feel that almost makes you forget that you're wearing pajamas at all."

If you want to help them decompress at night and wake up more peacefully, the Hatch alarm clock is a great way to do that.

"Hatch's sunrise alarm (which you can alter the color of) slowly rises as the sun would, and you can choose from a list of sounds to gently wake you." It's also equipped with a sound machine and colored lights to help you drift off faster.
