Since we’re spending most of our time at home, the gifts we can give are limited—who needs new jeans when you work from home on your couch? While giving an experience as a gift is often well received, that idea can be pretty hit or miss now that home is now where we eat, sleep, lounge, and work. So some of the best gifts you can give are those that make it all the more cozy and relaxing.

Below you’ll find 11 stress-relief gifts that your loved ones can use regularly and will cherish long after this pandemic is behind us.
