The most wonderful time of the year — or the most stressful? Between the rush of travel, pressure of gift getting, and bickering with loved ones, what's supposed to be a lovely holiday season can be anxiety-inducing.

Consider a soothing gift for yourself or others (and support some small Asian American-owned businesses while you're at it).

The spa treatment at home

Give them the spa treatment without breaking the bank. For skincare we recommend soothing facial masks, cleansers, and balms from Naisture, a leader in K-beauty.

For a nourishing bath are Mumu's Asian-inspired soaps, including matcha, cherry blossom, and Mount Ali Taiwanese Tea. You can also stick with a much-loved Chinese remedy, White Flower oil. Just a few drops in warm water relieves muscle aches, clears the sinuses, and quiets the mind.

Or get them a little bit of everything with a Spa or Apothecary Friendship Box.

Create a calming atmosphere

New this year are scented candles from Scrumptious Wicks. We especially love their Mango Lassi, Cinnamon Apple, and Cardamon Chai. Of course you can't go wrong with longtime favorite Baisun and their Brown Sugar Boba, Lychee Red Tea, and White Peach.

For a more traditional scent consider incense and an incense holder. Or make some soothing sounds with a pagoda or yin yang windchime.

Find your inner peace

Stones and crystals are believed to channel certain energies. Our lucky stone trees in jade and amethyst embody longevity, healing, and financial stability while these stone and crystal packs have a variety of benefits.

Chrome therapy balls are used to relieve tension in the hands and improve dexterity. The Tibetan singing bowl, with its deep and resonating ring, may aid with meditation.

Need a little extra help? Consider Restful Sleep and De-stress gummies from Reprise.
