Weighted blanket

You probably pulled some (or a lot) of all-nighters to finally get that certificate saying you’ve finished school. Now that you’re done, you could finally get some much-needed hours of rest.

Staycation

After a year cooped up inside your home, staring at your screen for endless hours and studying? Yes, you definitely deserve a breath of fresh air. And while a trip to places that could easily be crowded isn’t allowed and a trip abroad wouldn’t be possible anytime soon, you could try going solo and book a place all to yourself. It’d be a bit more expensive than anything else on this list, but it could be the much-needed R&R after a long, looong year. Find a staycation spot here. And make sure you’re following standard health and safety protocols!
