Every year during the dog days of summer, Americans take a day to disconnect from their busy schedules. Happening each year on August 15, this day is appropriately named National Relaxation Day. It doesn’t matter how you spend this lazy holiday, as long as you treat yourself to a good time. These 12 essential relaxation gifts will help you unwind and get the most out of your day.
1. Hatch Restore Sound Machine
This soothing sound machine from Hatch will start off National Relaxation Day 2023 on a high note. Instead of hearing that awful iPhone alarm sound first thing in the morning, you can wake up to high-quality nature sounds and white noise. The device will also emit a soft glow instead of eye-straining lights. It’s the perfect way to start your day.
2. VEKOZI Neck and Shoulders Heating Pad
The neck and shoulders are two of the most stressed-out areas on the body. This heating pad from VEKOZI will help you relieve that tension and get the knots out of your upper back muscles. You can also lie down and use the pad on your lower back or abdomen. It has six heat settings, allowing you to set the temperature to your personal comfort level.
3. ChiFit Multi-Level Back Stretching Device
Back stretches feel mesmerizing when you do them correctly. ChiFit’s multi-level back stretching device provides immediate relief to your entire back. It even helps with recovery from sciatica and herniated discs. Just set the device to your preferred height, lie down and feel the back pain disappear.
4. TOLOCO Deep Tissue Massage Gun
Massage guns used to be expensive and hard to come by, but now you can get one from TOLOCO for just $50. This device comes with ten different attachments and has seven power settings, allowing you to fully customize your deep tissue massage experience. The motor is also only 50 decibels, so you can enjoy the massage in peace and quiet.
5. hai Smart Shower Head
A new shower head is a huge game changer for your self-care routine. This Bluetooth shower head from hai allows you to use different spray settings and get unmatched water pressure. It also tracks your water consumption, so it’s sustainable too. You can mount it on the wall or use it as a handheld device.
6. GOSHI Exfoliating Shower Towel
While you’re enjoying hai’s smart shower head, wash off with GOSHI’s exfoliating shower towel. This towel is a replacement for your loofah, exfoliating glove and scrub brush all in one. It uses a combination of lathering and exfoliating threads to scrub all of the dirt away while being gentle on the most sensitive skin.
7. Body Restore Shower Steamers
Body Restore is one of the best self-care brands on the market, and its shower steamers are a big reason why. These small pods will make your showers extra steamy and create a mild eucalyptus smell, clearing nasal congestion and providing powerful aromatherapy. You’ll be fully immersed in the soothing scent and smell fresh for the rest of the day.
8. Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2
Whether you’re on Team Coffee or Team Tea, you’ll love Ember’s temperature-control smart mug. The second model has a longer-lasting battery than the first model, keeping your beverage hot for 80 minutes to start your day. You can set the temperature anywhere between 120 degrees Fahrenheit and 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
9. Barillio Bartender Travel Kit
If you want to have some alcoholic beverages later in the day, make them to your exact preferences with Barillio’s bartender travel kit. This kit has everything you need to create perfect cocktail recipes and impress your friends with delicious drinks. No matter where your travels take you, you can always make your favorite drinks with Barillio at your fingertips.
10. Dkeli Patio Lounge Chair
Every backyard needs a good lounge chair. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better chair than this zero-gravity chair from Dkeli. It has a head pillow, padded armrests, cup holders and completely reclines. It also comes fully assembled and folds down into a storable size. Just take it out of the box, sit back and relax.
11. GoSports Classic Cornhole Set
A lazy day in the backyard also needs a good yard game to keep people entertained. Cornhole is a great low-intensity game that you don’t even have to play standing up (although standing is recommended). You can spend all afternoon enjoying some drinks, listening to music and playing cornhole with your pals.
12. Lazy Daze Hammock
If you want to take an afternoon nap on your day of relaxation, this hammock from Lazy Daze will put you right to sleep. The swaying motion will make you drowsy in seconds, and the double-layered quilted polyester will feel soft on your skin. It’ll be like floating on a cloud right in your backyard.
Celebrate National Relaxation Day 2023 the Right Way
Other holidays require you to buy gifts, travel, socialize and fulfill other obligations. Not National Relaxation Day. This day is solely about you. Celebrate the right way by getting some relaxation gifts for yourself and practicing self-care from the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep. This day only comes once a year, so make the most of it!
