It’s like a hug you don’t have to ask for. This thing is magic when your body is buzzing or your thoughts won’t quit. Great for calming anxiety, helping with sleep, or just zoning out with some Godzilla movies. I keep one on the couch and one by my b...

Not to be dramatic, but this little thing changed the whole vibe of my overstimulated house. Lavender, eucalyptus, orange—whatever mood you’re chasing, just a few drops of essential oil and boom: spa energy. (My current fav is “Cheer Up Buttercup”) E...

Honestly, it’s hard to doomscroll and color at the same time. These books are great for busy hands and overactive brains. Plus, it’s art without pressure. Just color, breathe, maybe hum a little tune if you’re feeling it.

This is for those of us who need to do something with our hands 24/7. It’s pretty enough to wear every day but secretly doubles as a soothing little stim toy. I use mine when I’m in public and need to ground myself without looking like I’m trying to ...

Meditation doesn’t have to be all “sit in silence and transcend” vibes. Sometimes I just need someone to gently tell me to unclench my jaw and breathe for two minutes. These apps have all kinds—sleepy ones, affirmations, ADHD-friendly ones... it’s li...
Guided Meditation App Subscription

Not one of those overwhelming “you must track 97 things” planners—just a kind little space to check in with yourself. I love using mine when I feel untethered. Sometimes I doodle, sometimes I vent, sometimes I just write “I’m tired” five times and th...

Tea is my sensory-safe beverage of choice. This sampler gives you options: sleepytime, tummy-soothing, something citrusy for the blues. Plus, the whole ritual—boiling water, steeping the tea—it’s grounding. Especially helpful if you tend to forget to...

This is not just for kids. There is no age limit on needing something soft to squeeze when the day has been a lot. Weighted or scented ones are even better. I keep mine on my bed like a proud emotional support buddy.

White noise, rain, waves, soft forest vibes—this thing helps everyone in the house sleep better (even the dogs). If you have sensory issues around silence or just need your brain to stop spinning at bedtime, highly recommend.
Sleep Sound Machines

These are like little pep talks for your soul. I keep a few by my desk and shuffle them when I’m in a funk. Stuff like “you are not too much” or “rest is productive” always seems to come up when I need it.

Sometimes you need clothes that feel like pajamas but look like you tried. These sets are soft, stretchy, sensory-safe, and help me feel more put together even when I’m low energy. Worth investing in at least one cute “I live here but I’m still cute”...

All the bits for a cozy night in: bath soak, scrubs, face masks, maybe a chocolate bar. I use these as “reset rituals” after a hard day or when I need to reconnect with my body. It doesn’t have to be fancy—just intentional.

Honestly, sometimes it’s the phone. These kits help you step away without shame. Think: offline games, cozy analog hobbies, journaling prompts. I use mine on Sundays or after doomscrolling makes my brain feel like scrambled eggs.
Digital Detox

This might sound silly at first, but having something physical to guide your breath can seriously help with regulation. It’s great for grounding during anxiety spikes or transitions. I keep a screenshot of the steps on my phone to remind me exactly w...
Breathing exercises for stress

Sometimes I just lie on this thing and stretch like a cat. Their designs are amazing and they are cushy enough for my knees. Great for actual yoga, or pretending to stretch while watching TV and calling it self-care. 😅
Yune Yoga

Because sometimes the shower is the only place you get alone time—and it deserves to feel like a little sanctuary. These fizzy steamers sit on the floor and fill the space with soothing essential oils (think eucalyptus, chamomile, or citrus for a moo...

A little green friend who doesn’t ask for much. Snake plant, pothos, or ZZ plant are great picks. Taking care of something tiny and alive—even if it’s just watering once a week—can be surprisingly soothing. Plus, they purify the air and make your spa...

This might sound small, but it’s a sensory game-changer. Choose a scent that makes you feel safe—like vanilla, lavender, or unscented if you’re smell-sensitive—and just take a second to massage it in slowly. It’s grounding, moisturizing, and way chea...
