Zen is just a package away.

Don’t fact-check us on this, but it’s just about impossible to go wrong with a pampering gift—whether you’re shopping for a stressed-out new mom or dad, a very pregnant sibling, an incredibly hardworking best friend, or just about anyone else who needs to take a minute to breathe (which, let’s face it, is everyone).

Yet, here’s the thing: If you're like us, you may not be able to treat your loved one to a weeklong stay at a luxury spa. That’s okay—because you can encourage her to indulge in some spa-worthy self-care with any of these zen-inducing presents. Think high-tech massagers that offer a soothing touch, incredibly cozy clothing she can change into after a long day, gorgeously scented candles that’ll help her unwind, a pretty mug for their nightly cup of chamomile tea, a gift box that’ll deliver R&R items right to their door, and a selection of stress-busting beauty products, like jade rollers and rich hand creams. Plus, if you really want to go above and beyond, you can even pick a few items and put them together in a pampering basket or gift set.

Ahead, we’ve compiled the best pampering gifts to buy someone who is stressed—including unique finds from places like Amazon and Etsy, and a few of Oprah’s Favorite Things—all of which will deliver some much-needed TLC.

Sold as a pack of three, these incredibly comfy socks are made with temperature regulating technology to keep your feet from overheating. They are the easy choice for your go-to lounge socks all year long and were also included by Oprah in her Favorite Things for 2021.

Can't be there in person to give your mom a massage? Send her this high-powered, heat-infused neck and back massager that has features like eight kneading rollers and three speeds to help release all the tension. Kinks and tough knots, meet your match!

If they're like Oprah and enjoy a warm, soothing bath before bedtime, this is the perfect gift. Formulated with 11 pure, natural oils—including cedarwood, ylang-ylang, and chamomile—this bubbly bath foam is intentionally made with relaxation in mind.

Filled with French lavender, these super-soft slippers can go in the microwave for 60 seconds to keep your feet nice and toasty. Oprah loved them so much that she included them on her annual list of Favorite Things in 2019.

Plan a glorious pampered spa weekend at home with this lavender-themed box of goodies, including a lavender scented candle, natural soap bar, body scrub, lip balm, and a clay mask.

The pretty, purse-size tubes come in three equally gorgeous scents (pear, cinnamon orange, and amber cashmere) and are packed with a super moisturizing mix of shea butter, vitamin E, and argan oil.

There's a reason this fabric is named Marshmallow: It basically feels like you're lounging in a cloud—which is exactly why Oprah selected the ultra-cozy item for her list of 2019 Favorite Things. "Wear the ridiculously plush lounger over leggings for running around town or hanging out at home," she said. "A black-tie dinner, though, may be a bridge too far."

"Give a pair to a stylish friend and make her day."

Yes, this gift is on the pricier side—but when Oprah tried the TruMedic foot massager, she said, "I swear fireworks lit the sky, waves pounded against the shore, and a choir of angels sang," which is why it made her coveted list of Favorite Things in 2018.

We ever-so-humbly believe that stuffed animals are not just for children—especially when they come with a lavender-scented microwavable insert that'll keep you warm on the chilliest nights.

Knowing that these candles are lovingly hand-poured into fully recyclable glasses and that a tree is planted for every product sold makes them look even that much greater sitting on any kitchen countertop.

The popular K-beauty facial tool is said to help circulation and purportedly tightens pores, boosts collagen production, and reduces puffiness.

And if your friend needs some guidance, Oprah's nail technician is also here to help.
