There are so many physical things that can help someone suppress their general anxieties, and not all of them have to break the bank. Whether you're looking for a birthday gift, Mother's Day or Father's day gifts, or you just want someone to know that you're there for them in their hard times, here's a list of amazing gifts to help a struggling friend relax a little more!


1. Salt Lamp

The soft, orange hues are one of the colors used to calm a mood or to keep someone completely focused. Plus, it is a great decoration and super pretty. You can get one from the Vitamin Shop for $13.79.

2. Coloring Books

The adult coloring book has become such a phenomenon over the past few years. I have received so many coloring books for Hanukkah and Christmas and bought a few more on my own. Coloring these beautiful designs just lets me forget about my anxieties and problems. There are so many to choose from. You can get some from Barnes and Noble or Walmart.

3. Essential Oil Diffuser

I have one in my college dorm and have a stress relief blend and a good sleep blend that I use almost every day. This helps me a lot with feeling relaxed and, plus, there are different light settings and it's cool to look at. You can get one at Target for $19.99.

4. Stress Relief Eye Masks


Face masks are essential to self-relaxation, so these are designed specifically for stress relief and you use it on your eyes. You can get a ten-pack at Walmart!

5. Calming Face Oil


The Oh Mega Calming Chia Oil is a blend of chia, shea, aloe and lavender that provides the most calming experience. It can be used on dry, sensitive, and all skin types. You can get it here!

6. Bubble Bath

Bubble bath

Bubble baths can be so relaxing, especially when they are designed for stress relief! You can get four different scents here!

7. Motivational Bracelet

Sometimes, people just need a little something to keep them sane and remind themselves that they are strong. I always wear a Pura Vida mental health bracelet to remind me to keep going. You can get the bracelet pictured above at MantraBand.

8. Journal


Writing down thoughts and feelings can really help people with anxiety disorders, so having a positive thinking journal for a year or just a normal journal would help them a lot. The journal pictured above is available at Barnes and Noble for $13.98.

9. Relax Tea


I definitely want to try this tea! A promising review: "I didn’t think this tea would really make a difference but it really does. It’s almost immediate that stress melts away and my husband and I are able to sleep peacefully. Has a funky smell when you open the jar but the tea itself is pretty much tasteless. Highly recommended!!" You can get the tea here.

10. Candles

Any kind of candle can be so relaxing -- the smell, the flicker of the fire. I have so many candles in my room at home. You can get them really anywhere you look, but I love candles from Bath and Body Works.

11. Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy

This is my favorite line from Bath and Body Works! I have a lot of this and it actually works for me. You can get a variety of these products at Bath and Body Works.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
