Days spent in bed to recharge don’t have to be grungy. They can be glamorous — and these gifts prove it. From comfy bathrobes to weighted plushies, we selected these gifts for their regulating qualities, high-quality materials, and aesthetic-forward designs.
Bathrobes
We love a bright, snuggly, dopamine-inducing robe. It’s something to snuggle up with and get comfy cozy, but also visually stimulating and fun. And if you’re like us, we’re very specific about what materials we wear, especially when optimizing our comfort. These robes are made from soft materials, with fun designs that make us feel good all around. Plus, for those of us who tend to take a bit longer with transitions, a bathrobe is a great way to ease from a shower to getting dressed. Here are 4 bathrobes we’re obsessed with.
Funky and plush robe
Brooklinen Superplush Robe | $139
A funky pattern and plush texture? Count us in. We love that this robe is made from 100% Turkish cotton (so soft!) and that it’s a playful visual stim, too.
“This is the plushiest bathrobe ever! And even after having mine for 2 years, it’s still in great shape because it’s made from really high-quality materials.” – Brianna Schubert, Editorial Assistant
Striped visual stim
Hommey Robe | $109
Bright colors and organic cotton turn this robe into a sensory dream. We can imagine cozying up in this robe, enjoying a warm drink, and playing our favorite song on repeat.
More stripes because why not
Dusen Dusen Bathrobe | $158
Okay, yes, we love stripes. They’re a favorite of our visual stims, and this colorful bathrobe is no exception. It’s also made from cotton, and yes, also oh-so soft.
Ultra-soft terry robe
Kip & Co. Terry Bathrobe | $150
Can’t get enough of natural fibers? This bathrobe is made of not only cotton but also bamboo, resulting in an ultra-soft terry fabric that makes us want to lounge in it all day — and we just might!
Slippers
Match your robe to your slippers
Dusen Dusen Terry Stripe Slippers | $48
Pro tip: extend the comfort and the stim. Pair your bathrobe with a pair of slippers. We love that these Dusen Dusen ones match the bathrobe.
Grippy slippers
Bombas Gripper Slippers | $50
And the Bombas grippers are comfy, soft, and nonslip — you know, for those of us who are a bit clumsy around the house. 🙂
Hot water bottles
We love how calming heat can be. Hot water bottles are a simple portable way to get that regulation. Just place it on your lap and enjoy the soothing warmth as you work, watch TV, or otherwise lounge.
Natural fibers, for the win
Chickpea Hot Water Bottle | $60
If you love natural fibers and playful colors, the water bottle covers from Chickpea are for you. This one, for example, is made from 100% lambswool yarn and has a fun cobalt stripe pattern.
Perhaps the cutest hot water bottle yet
Bear Hot Water Bottle | $128
Who doesn’t want to snuggle up with a little heated bear after a long day? The hot water bottle covers from Owen Barry are made from luxurious, sustainably-sourced sheepskin, cozy as can be.
Knit fish that warms
Finn Hot Water Bottle | $115
Sometimes it’s the little things that bring us the most joy. The whimsical design of this lambswool knit fish water bottle cover, for example, makes us so happy just looking at it.
Weighted Plushies
Some of us prefer weight for regulation instead of heat. These weighted plushies are perfect for hugging, snuggling, or just resting on your lap.
The perfect cuddle buddy
Weighted Goose | $30
How cute is this weighted goose? Would anyone not love to receive this as a gift? Filled with natural grains and lavender, it’s 1.5 lbs and microwaveable, for a warm, slightly weighted feel.
Sloth companion
Weighted Sloth | $58
The best part about this 2.2 lb little guy is that when you give it a hug, its adorably long arms hug you right back.
The big heart
Heart to Hug | $92
When you give this large 8-lb weighted heart a hug, you get a bonus: pockets to put your hands in! It’s a dream for cuddling up and enjoying deep pressure.
Hugging pillow
Hugimals Ball | $92
Not feeling the heart vibe? That’s okay. This hug pillow is just a giant, fluffy 10-lb ball that’s perfect for hugging.
Sleep mask
Weighted sleep mask
Nodpod Sleep Mask | $38
“I sleep with this weighted sleep mask every night. When my mind is racing before bed, putting this mask on helps calm my thoughts and helps me drift off to sleep.” – Brianna Schubert, Editorial Assistant
Blankets
Can one have too many blankets? We’re pretty sure the limit does not exist. We’re excited about these blankets because each offers a different type of comfort and regulation.
An incredibly soft compression blanket
Compression Blanket | $300
If you like compression, this blanket is stretchy and perfect for wrapping yourself up in. It’s also incredibly soft, made from high-quality faux fur.
“This Lola blanket is literally the best! Its trifecta of soft, stretch and slightly weighted, dissolves the day away and leaves me feeling safe, soothed and deeply satisfied. I love it so much, I bought 4!” – Natalie Kling
Regulating weighted blanket
Weighted Blanket | $198
If you’re more of a weighted blanket person, this one is our favorite. It’s super soft, flexible, and made from nontoxic and organic cotton.
“I use this weighted blanket all the time, especially when I’m feeling overwhelmed or antsy. It helps me feel regulated and calm.” – Brianna Schubert, Editorial Assistant
Recycled wool blanket
Tbco Recycled Wool Throw | $162
If you prefer the soothing texture of natural fibers, this recycled wool blanket might be the best choice. It’s soft, colorful, and durable, making it a great option for those who don’t need deep pressure or weight but still want a nice sensory experience.
Smells we love
All natural balm
Anywhere Calming Balm | $48
We’re obsessed with this stunning calming balm, not just because it’s an all-natural and vegan balm that can be used anywhere on the body, but also because the compact doubles as a soothing fidget that we could hold all day long.
Sandalwood roller
Peace Root Aromatherapy | $68
For fragrance on the go, we’re fans of this nontoxic, natural roller that smells like sandalwood and vanilla, designed to promote peace from within.
Designed the everyday
Natural Fragrance Roller | $32
Designed for everyday wear with natural ingredients, these rollers are the perfectly subtle fragrance for those who want a smell stim but don’t want to be overwhelmed by a super strong scent.
“I’m incredibly sensitive to smells, and these are the perfect natural-smelling fragrances. They’re not overpowering or too much, by any means. I keep one on my desk and one in my purse so I always have a pleasant scent on the go.” – Brianna Schubert, Editorial Assistant
