Olverum Bath Oil, $52
Showers are swift and efficient, but nothing’s like a long bath to escape, unwind, and reset. My favourite bath oil is Olverum, a 90-year-old secret recipe from Germany that fills your home with the soothing scents of Siberian Fir, Eucalyptus, and Verbena. —Michael Acton Smith, cofounder and coCEO

Triggerpoint Grid Foam Roller, $60
This is the ultimate relaxation and recovery tool, especially for those who are active. This specific model has notches and grooves to really get into those tight muscles. It’s literally like you’re giving yourself a deep tissue massage. I go for maximum efficiency with my relaxation by tuning into my favorite show or playing my favorite tunes and hopping onto my foam roller for about an hour every night. —Sue Cho, head of lifecycle marketing

Crossrope Get Lean Jump Rope Set, $99
Jumping rope is one of my favorite ways to get a quick workout in, and this weighted set takes it to the next level. I love the 1/4lb rope for HIIT workouts and building coordination, and I switch up to the 1/2lb rope when I want more of a challenge. The Crossrope Lite app that accompanies these ropes keeps the workouts fresh with new routines. —Mavis Brefo, director of international growth

Handpan drum, $70
A forgivingly easy and pleasant instrument that can be centering, calming, and meditative. Whether you’re a seasoned musician or you have no idea what key a song is in, the handpan drum will give you an opportunity to focus on the moment and detach from racing thoughts about the world around you. —Chris Delbuck, head of product design
