    "Perfect Way To Relax While In The Shower": 38 Products For Anyone Who Constantly Feels Overwhelmed

    Maybe a tiny Magic 8 Ball will be the solution to all of your stress 🤔.

    1. An inflatable lounge pool even adults can enjoy, so you can pretend you're on vacation in the Hamptons instead of your apartment's tiny patio.

    It's also got a bench and cup holders!

    Promising review: "I have had this pool for about two weeks now and I LOVE IT!!! Was simple to set up, I got a little electric pump and it took about 10 minutes to inflate, then about half an hour to fill with water. Pay attention to making sure you set it up on level ground or it will be lopsided. It is probably good for two adults, maybe one adult and a couple of kids. The built-in seat and headrest are really quite comfy and relaxing. I will definitely buy this same pool again if it springs a leak and can't be fixed, if I could give it a 10 stars I would. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!" —kathryn j.

    2. I Dew Care's "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo because who has time to wash their hair these days anyways? This lovely lil’ product will keep your locks looking fabulous even when you haven’t found a spare moment to indulge in an “everything shower.”

    The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush. 

    Promising review: "I never understood how people could go more than two days without washing their hair and now I know. This has been a life saver! I was looking for an alternative to my spray dry shampoo and this is even better. It literally dries up the oil and makes hair look freshly washed. I used to have to wash my hair every other day and now I can stretch it, which is amazing for a busy mom who barely has any time. I’m stocking up!" —Mandy

    Get it from Amazon for $16. 

    3. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner you can use to clean your shower with the least amount of effort ever — seriously, you just leave it for the day then rinse it off and enjoy how sparkly and clean the glass will be!

    White bottle that reads Wet & Forget Shower

    Promising review: "I had a horrible gray ring on the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn Dish Soap method (with a lot of scrubbing), and even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance and ordered the Wet and Forget Shower Spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.54.

    4. A shampoo scalp massager so even if you only have the time and energy for a quick rinse you'll still be able to indulge in a relaxing scalp massage.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a big fan of this product:

    "I have one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this is a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."

    Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).

    5. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray which will make you feel like you just got bit by a spider and inherited a super human power to flawlessly clean pots and pans — no scrubbing necessary.

    I recently tried this stuff for the first time and can confirm it's fantastic. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my Griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes it much easier to clean burnt bits and pieces off. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful!

    Promising review: "This is the best partner in the kitchen!! You need it now and always. Great for hard stains and even for a quick clean. I always have back ups never run out. RUN DON'T WALK TO ADD THIS PRODUCT TO YOUR CART RIGHT NOW." —Carlos G

    Get it from Amazon for $16.88 for a bundle.

    6. A travel pill organizer you'll wonder how you've lived this long without — it's moisture-proof, has eight compartments, and is made of cereal fiber and food grade plastic. You can totally use this *all* the time, not just when you're jet setting.

    Promising review: "I love these! I have pretty severe ADHD, and I am constantly forgetting my meds when camping or hiking or just generally leaving the house for extended periods of time. These make it so much easier for me to just squirrel away in my backpack and be so pleased when I find them again. The labels are great, they are durable, and I'm no longer finding stray pills of unknown origin in the bottom of my bag. Highly recommend" —Eliza

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $9.97.

    7. A pair of beaded fan pull extenders so even if you're sitting in the dark you'll be able to figure out which switch turns on the light instead of the fan. And if you're short (like so many of us) you won't have to jump around like a fool trying to grab the right one since the chains are long enough for you to actually reach it without struggling!

    Promising review: "This is the definition of 'product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed.' I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek... now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor. (When you notice them — most of the time, who even thinks about a ceiling fan pull chain?) As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" —LHD

    Get it from Amazon for $5.69+ (available in two sizes and five finishes). 

    8. A Petcube, which is a reliable pet monitoring camera with a wide angle and night vision. Delightful if you're out and about but still want to keep an eye on your precious pup.

    Petcube is a Ukrainian-based small business that specializes in interactive HD pet camera products. It can send you instant notifications via its app and sync with Amazon Alexa.

    Promising review: "We have had the original Petcube for some time and have loved being able to see our furry friend (cat) when we are away. We had always talked about getting another one so that we could see more of her while we are traveling. Enter the new Petcube...a petite footprint with a wide-angle lens. Easy to set up and easy to use. Absolutely perfect." —NLVG

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

    9. And a pet hair remover because your leggings are sick and tired of being coated in the remnants of golden retriever’s luscious mane.

    BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes adores this product:

    "I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds. 

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    10. A teeny tiny Magic 8 Ball you can use to make decisions on the spot without overthinking it. Should you stay in bed this weekend and order a pizza? All signs point to yes.

    Promising review: "I'm having a blast with this miniature Magic 8 Ball. It sits on the table by my recliner for easy access. With it, I'm now free of the majority of decision-making in my life which relieves me of any stress, anxiety, or uncertainty that might come over me at any moment. I no longer have to take any responsibility for my actions; I can just blame it on the 8 Ball. It fits easily into almost any sized pocket, so, if I'm going out, I can take it along and let it play the same role in my life. This ability to take my new decision-maker with me in smaller form is great! It's a nice return to my childhood, inexpensive, and a much-needed reprieve from the stress of our contemporary society. Everyone should have one and have some light-hearted fun!" —ALW

    Get it from Amazon for $7.81.

    11. A Java Sok to keep your drink chilled, perfect for anyone who is sick and tired of drinking watered-down iced coffee. You can't help it that you had a very busy morning fielding emails — and your beverage shouldn't have to pay the price!

    Java Sok is a small business that sells an array of reusable neoprene cup holders designed to keep drinks colder and eliminate condensation.

    Promising review: "Obsessed! Great stocking stuffers or a gift to yourself! Will be buying more. I’m someone who takes a while to drink their drinks (mom life) so it keeps my drinks from watering down! Love this product! Feels like a coooozy" —Thumbs up

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in a variety of prints and five sizes).

    12. Downy Wrinkle Release Fabric Spray, for those days you simply have no interest in breaking out your iron. This magic spray will also help remove any lingering odors from fabrics (the blanket your dog has not-so-subtly been trying to claim as their own) and prevent static cling.

    Promising review: "I hate doing laundry. I don’t have a fancy washing machine with a wrinkle setting and usually leave my clean clothes in the dryer or laundry basket for days. They get wrinkled and I don’t iron. I saw someone on TikTok mention this stuff, so I thought I’d give it a shot and HOLY COW is it a game changer. I’m going on vacation in a couple of weeks for a wedding and will be taking a bottle with me! I’m driving so I can take the big bottle, but I have also seen travel sizes for anyone taking a plane!" —EvaAna

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.36.

    13. A portable door lock you can attach to any door and transform any hotel, vacation rental, or room in a guest house into one with a properly functioning lock. You can (and should!) also totally use this at home if you live alone. Safety first, friends.

    BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly has a helpful tip about this product: "And if you're flying with this in your carry-on, make sure to put it in an easily accessible pocket. I've had TSA pull me aside a few times to ask about the large piece of metal in my bag." 

    Promising review: "Buy it! Went on a trip and was going to see the hotel without my husband and was nervous. I bought this, and it was so easy to use and safe. I tried myself to open the door a few times, and it didn't budge. If anybody living in an apartment in need of extra security or if they need to take a trip alone and need that extra security while being alone, don't hesitate to buy it!!" —Anna

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    14. A set of Monkey Noodles that stretch up to 8 feet (!?!??) and will provide anyone with a non-disruptive way to scratch their fidgety itch. Perfect for anyone looking to relieve some pent up anxiety without leaving their desk.

    Promising review: "This is my absolute favorite fidget! I’m an adult with autism and ADHD. I carry one around with me everywhere I go. It definitely assists me in staying calm/still while I’m at work. I’ve recommended it to several friends!" —KaelynnVP

    Get a set of five from Amazon for $12.99.

    15. A "Liquipen" for anyone who grew up with a lava lamp but knows setting one up at their desk probably isn't *ideal*. Watching the little blobs float up and down will ease your mind and give you a chance to regroup before diving back into a project.

    Promising review: "I broke up the three-pack and gave one pen as a gift for a class gift exchange and put the other two in stockings for Christmas. Good quality and approved by both the 8-year-old and 49-year-old husband who is a kid at heart! Definitely recommend." —Kindle Customer

    16. A heated eye massager complete with five different massage modes and Bluetooth music so you can fully indulge and relax while relieving pain from eye strain and headaches.

    Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in three colors).

    17. Crayola Globbles, a fun lil' gadget you can use to burn off some steam in between meetings or when you just need a quick mental break. Don't worry, they won't leave residue on your walls.

    Promising review: "I waited over two months to write my review! My daughter is four and plays with these DAILY! YES they do attract dirt and hair HOWEVER they are so easy to rinse off, it's not a big deal! We took these to a family gathering and ended up giving two away because they were SO loved! The two we gave away went to a 12-year-old and my 19-year-old brother. They discovered throwing them at the ceiling fan and watching them shoot across the room which was pretty entertaining! None of these have busted or ripped and they are definitely NOT gentle with them! I will definitely be buying more!" —Kindle Customer

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.69.

    18. An activity book that has been specifically designed for the writer to destroy once they've finished it — you'll get the chance to dig deep into your past, present, and future without any pressure to commit to daily journaling.

    ...and the celestial design on the front is stunning, if I do say so myself.

    Promising review: "This book helps you understand that it’s okay to be completely honest with yourself. The book itself was in great condition with clean pages. I can’t wait to venture more into this lil' journey with myself ♥️" —Molls

    Get it from Amazon for $7.32.

    19. A luggage drink caddy to attach to your wheeled luggage — it'll become your saving grace when traveling during the busiest times of year. You can use it to hold your Starbies, phone, ID, etc and prevent you from fumbling around for all those items while heading to the gate at the airport.

    Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it’s my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." —Philip

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 32 colors).

    20. A magnetic meal planner that'll ideally take the stress right out of trying to figure out what on earth to eat this week. And you can use the shopping list as you finish up staple items —  no more realizing you're out of flour when you had your heart set on baking cookies.

    This handy dandy notepad is from Bloom Daily Planners, a woman-owned small business. It features the meal plan on one side and a perforated "shopping list" you can tear off on the other!

    Promising review: "I’ve been starting to get into meal prepping and this planner really helps! I like being able to look up recipes on my phone, then write down whatever ingredients I still need on the grocery list section of this planner. Its being magnetic is cool because you can hang it on the fridge. I love how the grocery list section can be ripped off so you can take it to the store, but the daily meal plans remain on the fridge so you can stay organized. This is a very simple idea, but it’s cute and helps keep me organized and motivated to plan out my meals." —Samantha M.

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five designs).

    21. A copy of The Big Activity Book for Anxious People, perfect for distracting your brain for a while and forcing you to change your mindset by living in the moment. Definitely a great option to have in your anxiety fighting tool kit.

    Tarcherperigee

    Promising review: "Love this book! I suffer from anxiety and even though I have the coping skills to 'deal' with it, when it rears its head I do get set back a little bit. So I got this book thinking 'okay, it will give me something to do so I can be in the moment' but it is so much more!!! It's funny (makes me laugh out loud), creative, interesting, and reminds me that I am not the only person to feel anxiety and how horrible it can make you feel. So all I have to ask the authors is 'Can you make a book for depression?'" —Catmom

    Get it from Amazon for $14.49.

    22. A set of stylish ankle weights that'll help you multitask and turn the day you've dedicated to cleaning your house into a workout as well!

    Get them from our Goodful shop for $38.

    23. An automatic cleaning toilet bowl cartridge to pop into the top of your tank — it'll last up to three months and clean with every single flush. Now that's a cleaning product worth testing out.

    Promising review: "This works absolutely phenomenal. I would clean the bowl area every weekend like clock work to remove mold or something…Our municipal water system may not inject enough chlorine to prohibit? But toilet cleaning is a breeze now!!! Works on the Kohler new low flush systems…amazing. No chlorine damage to rubber parts either like other devices! Pretty simple instructions to install." —CdrW

    Get it from Amazon for $10.53 (and you can snag refill cartridges here).

    24. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you'll likely want to buy for every single switch in your home (apologies) as you'll be able to use it to transform *any* device into a smart one! Once you set it up you'll be able to use Google, Alexa, or an app on your phone to control it. Technology, man.

    Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. I need to get one of these for my husband who drags himself out of bed every morning to turn on his espresso machine.

    Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in white and black). 

    25. A honey lavender tea complete with a comforting lil' note on the tea bag to help ease your mind as you sip and enjoy that warm cozy feeling you can only get from a fresh cup of tea.

    I've been drinking Yogi tea for years and I've never been disappointed! I love that each tea bag has a motivational message on it — not a necessity, but it's the little things in life, right? The tea itself is delicious and I love sipping on this one when I'm having a particularly stressful day or want to unwind before bed.

    Promising review: "This tea has a mild flavor that I enjoy very much. When I want to relax, or have trouble sleeping, I drink a cup of it and it seems to have a calming effect." —C. J. Benedict

    Get it from Amazon for $15.92.

    26. Pajamas for your baby with a magical magnetic closure system, so when they start to kick up (literally) a fight about bedtime you won't find yourself struggling to close snaps or pull a zipper while also attempting to soothe your fussy little one.

    Magnetic Me

    I bought these for my son, along with a pair of footies, in a desperate attempt to make getting him ready for bed easier. He's entered a super fun toddler phase where he likes to fight my husband and me to the death whenever he's being changed in/out of clothes — and bedtime (when he's sleepy) is when it is at its worst. If you haven't personally had to try to zip a tiny wild beast into pajamas, consider yourself lucky! Anyways, these pajamas have helped move the process along a lot faster. Thanks to the magnets, they're super soft and close in literally one second. I can totally see these being great for younger babies as well when parents are living through the midnight-diaper-change era. I'm definitely going to order more — you can't put a price on something that makes your life as a parent easier!

    Promising review: "This coverall is so cute and easy we wear it all the time! It runs a little big, but we will get to wear it longer. Washed beautifully and will be able to be used as a hand-me-down." —Samantha

    Get it from Magnetic Me for $24 (originally $45; available in sizes NB–24M and eight styles).

    27. A set of energy-restoring shower steamers you can add into your morning or nightly rinse to transform a typically quick core into a spa-like experience. 

    Promising review: "I kept seeing this product pop up on TikTok so I decided to buy a pack and I'm SO GLAD I DID! These smell so good and are a perfect way to relax while in the shower. I now recommend them to everyone I know!" —Merry

    This lovely lil' gadget has seven different light settings, calming "wake up" noises, and can be set to gradually get brighter at 30, 20, or 10 minutes.

    Promising review: "I got this recommendation from TikTok and it really has helped especially with Oregon winters where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $33.98. 

    30. An instant-read digital thermometer, so you'll never have to guess "is my steak cooked?" again. You can grill with confidence!

    Promising review: "As a working chef for over 30 years, I've gone through dozens of thermometers, and this one stands out. I actually purchased this by accident while buying several thermometers to try with the intent of buying a dozen for my crew. I was looking for thermometers that can be field-calibrated and as far as I can tell, this one can't. But I intend to buy more of these because they are accurate, easy to read, and just more pleasant to use. They are tough, and I love the ring on the end; I keep this one hanging on a hook near our ranges so I don't have to hunt it down. It does not ride easily in my chef's coat, but that is due to the longer probe. Which I LOVE. In two weeks I have used this one thermometer over 130 times, all with pleasure." —Cetaceous Dave

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

    31. A huggable knot pillow unlike anything you've probably seen before — it was designed to delight the senses and help stress dissipate. It'll also just look super cute as decor in your home!

    Get it from Bearaby for $29+ (available in 3 sizes and 12 colors).

    32. An ever-popular Instant Pot with so many uses you'll need to take a deep breath before deciding what to make with it first. It'll make whipping up dinner so much easier — you won't know why you waited so long to get one!

Read all about why the Instant Pot is changing how we cook in our full review of the Instant Pot.

    Promising review: "Perfect addition to the Instant Pot family. This little pot does the same incredible job as its bigger brother and sisters. Great for making the side dishes or smaller main dishes. If you haven't gotten on board the Instant Pot train, do not hesitate! This mini pot even makes yogurt. The benefits to pressure cooking are numerous, using the Instant Pot makes it incredibly easy. Can you tell I'm completely smitten with this little appliance?! It proudly sits on my counter and is used nearly every single day." —Prairie Princess

    Get it from Amazon for $83.70.

    33. A 12-in-1 Ninja oven that'll function as an air fryer in addition to all the standard toaster oven features (ya'know baking, roasting, toasting, etc). If your kitchen counter space is limited, adding this gadget into the mix (and getting rid of others that do the same functions) will be a much easier decision than trying to figure out what to cook for dinner.

    Ninja Kitchen

    I've been using this oven since April and it has honestly become SUCH a big part of my day-to-day. I always wanted to try using an air fryer, but never had enough counter space for a number of large appliances to be out all at once. (I prioritized my coffee machine, OK?) This oven replaced my toaster and granted me access to so many more gadgets in one! Now that my son is a big fan of chicken nuggets (because, of course he is) we use the air fryer all the time. It heats things up quickly and efficiently and, honestly, I'm not sure how I lived so long without one. it's also great for re-heating leftovers or whipping up frozen meals. It's a must-have!

    Promising review: "Ninja has blown their competition out of the water with this Double Oven. I have a very picky toddler who literally lives on nuggets and fries. But my husband loves to cook and have delicious meals. This double oven does it all… AT ONCE! It air fries, it bakes, it roasts and more! The double oven comes with two sheet pans, one air fry basket. Two wire racks, a crumb tray and a recipe book. It was easy to get cooking right away. The instructions and recipes were easy to follow.

    34. A portable lock box designed to be secured around two beach chairs, so you can stow your wallet/phone/keys away safely and enjoy a long swim without constantly having to poke your head up to check that your items are still there.

    You can also use this in your room to keep valuables protected. Additionally, SafeGo is a small business!

    Promising review: "I bought this to take on a vacation to the Virgin Islands because my husband is super paranoid about leaving valuables unattended on the beach. At first, he scoffed that this little plastic thing wasn’t going to stop a thief, and I had wasted my money. Then he admitted that the plastic was pretty sturdy, and it was cool that we could secure the cable to our beach chairs, a fence, or a tree (most petty thieves don’t carry around cable cutters). Next thing I know, he’s storing his wallet, phone, and room keys in it along with mine. He laced the cable through other things he didn’t want stolen, like the bags containing our snorkel gear. Neighboring beachgoers asked about it and where they could get one, and he was quick to demonstrate its features. And when we got home, I overheard him showing it to his friends, with as much approval as he could muster. Hate to say I told you so...OK, no I don’t." —Patsy

    35. A plush bath pillow, so you can happily lounge and read the novel you've been dying to crack open from cover to cover comfortably.

    Promising review: "This has a lot of cushion for your back and neck. I had no issues with sticking it to the tub. The best part is the hook which allows it to dry out well. In this time of working at home, I need a nice tub to help relax." —Danielle Piacentini

    36. A Renpho percussion massager — a must-have if you’re forever complaining about the knots in your back and wishing you could take a daily trip to the spa.

    Check out a TikTok of the massager in action. 

    Promising review: "I have tried EVERYTHING for my feet, nothing works and I am always in pain. It came, I tried it out, and I thought wow, that feels AWESOME. But the true test is how do you feel the next day right? You cannot always walk around with a massage gun in your hand. The next day, I felt AMAZING. AMAZING. I used it on my hubby's back too, and he said he felt so much better today as well! In addition, this one is way QUIETER than my original massage gun. It's just really a quality piece. You won't be disappointed in this one. It really is what it says. I know it is hard to choose from all the models on the internet, but this one is the real deal. It's worth the money if you have pain." —L Johnson

    37. An electric waterproof bubble massage mat complete with a built-in heater and an aroma clip for essential oil aromatherapy. Just imagine how wonderful this will feel after a long workout.

    Promising review: "This product provides a great massage technique for my back muscles. I experience a lot of pain and tension in my shoulders. And I have chronic pain in my lower back. I also like the aromatherapy pad. What a great, soothing, and relaxing experience for the low cost." —Octavia

    38. And a Nintendo Switch Lite you can count on to help you kick back and relax after a long day — I gotta suggest you dive into a soothing indie game like Spiritfarer or Stardew Valley for the ultimate cozy-day vibe.

    There is an entire TikTok account dedicated to cozy gaming if you need more inspiration of what to play! I personally love Spiritfarer — which, IMO, has Studio Ghibli vibes and is both devastating and beautiful at the same time. Stardew Valley is another classic you'll definitely enjoy hunkering down with.

    Promising review: "The Switch is Nintendo's best device since the N64. I use my Switch every day. I commute by train so this has been perfect for me. There has never been a handheld this good. The transition to and from docked mode is seamless. The battery life is also pretty decent. Overall, it is a great device. Nintendo's back!" —Arjun S. Kahlon
