It wouldn’t take a mind reader to guess that 2020 was likely one of the most stressful years of our lives. Top 5, at least. Between a global pandemic and the turmoil of a presidential election, so much has changed and keeps changing in the span of a few months. Chances are, you’re struggling to find ways to relax, and we are right there with you. And yet, because it is such a challenging time, it is that much more important to seek out pleasures and practices that center on your health and wellness. Little gifts to yourself.
It may seem strange to bring up Black Friday (because how is it November 27 already?), but here we are. With in-person shopping potentially dangerous to your health, limited energy to expend, and savings in mind, arguably, you may want to pay more attention to this Black Friday than any before. There are some serious deals happening right now (on kitchen, bedding, fashion, beauty products, and more). But an area we want to call particular attention to is your well-being—your fitness, self-care, and products and services that pamper and chill you out.
Below, we’ve rounded up sales on items that aim to soothe and re-center you, from massage guns to wellness journals to weighted blankets. We’ll update this throughout Black Friday and Cyber Monday as deals expire (which they will!). Once you’ve checked out, make sure to mentally check out, too. Even just for a few minutes.
Amazon is unrolling unbeatable daily holiday deals throughout the season, like on this top-rated white-noise machine, the SELF-certified Fitbit 4, and more. There’s daily deals and lightning deals (which expire within hours, while supplies last), so get to it.
