1. PETCO HOLIDAY TOYS
Pets boost your happiness, and now it's time to boost theirs. For fur children with the Christmas spirit, cat and dog Advent calendars reveal a new active-play toy or treat in each compartment. Or, choose a Hanukkah-themed goodie so pets can celebrate all eight days. (from $15, petco.com)
2. GIADZY GIFT BOX
Tins full of bonbons and cheese popcorn can derail even the best of healthy-eating intentions, which is why we love chef Giada De Laurentiis's Eat Better, Feel Better box. It's filled with some of her go-to Mediterranean staples: extra virgin olive oil, Calabrian chili paste, organic sun-dried tomatoes, and artisan pasta from Italy. You can also add a copy of her latest cookbook, featuring recipes she developed on her own journey to better health. (from $78, giadzy.com)
3. BEARABY PLUSHKNIT COCOON
Wrapping oneself up in a warm blanket is the ultimate self-care move, and this supersoft throw will relax even your most stressed-out friends. Made from 100% recycled polyester, it comes in three neutral colors. ($149, bearaby.com)

"Taking a few moments to ground yourself, find your center, and reconnect with the present can make all the difference in calming the chaos," says Lindsey Benoit O'Connell, a certified meditation teacher and founder of The LAB Wellness. We asked her to write a quick guided meditation just for you.
