Amazon is a great source for self-care items — with just a few clicks, you can put together a spa-like package that will arrive at your doorstep in no time. From hair tools to skincare gadgets and everything in between (like a vibrating foam roller for achy muscles), your daily routine will be upgraded by the weird things on this list. And, best of all, they’re all budget-friendly, too.

01This acupressure mat & pillow set with 30,000+ 5-star reviews

When used daily for 10 to 30 minutes, the thousands of acupressure points on this acupressure mat and pillow set are designed to help stimulate nerves in your body and improve circulation for more energy and relaxation. The foam-filled mat is large enough for your whole back (there are also larger options in the listing), and the pillow is designed to fit comfortably behind your neck.

02A stainless steel tongue scraper that comes with a travel pouch

Eliminate bad breath and improve your overall oral hygiene with this tongue scraper. It features a flexible U-shaped curve to reach all areas of your tongue and since it’s made from rustproof stainless steel, it’s durable enough to last a lifetime. Utilize the included linen pouch for storage.

03This wedge neck pillow with a washable cover

This wedge pillow supports the head and restores proper cervical curvature, as well as relieving shoulder tension. Plus, it has a hypoallergenic cover that can be thrown in the washing machine when needed.

04This hydrating foot cream with 60,000+ 5-star reviews

If your feet look dry and cracked, try this wildly popular moisturizing cream. It’ll create a protective layer on the skin’s surface for immediate relief — and this will help prevent further moisture loss in the long term, too.

I have been using them now once a week for at-home spa days and I could not be happier with the results,” wrote one commenter. The set includes 20 applications.

06A fun clay mask that bubbles on your skin

Deep clean your pores with this bubble clay mask. It features ingredients like kaolin clay to exfoliate the skin, plus activated charcoal to pull out dirt, bacteria, and more.

07These clever massaging slippers that reviewers say feel great

These acupressure slippers feature 3D massage nubs that are strategically placed to correspond to acupressure points — they are designed to help relieve pain, minimize fatigue, and more. The slippers are made from lightweight foam and come in five colors in the listing. “The rubber nubs feel wonderful on the soles as you walk or stand. When I am sitting, I move my feet around in the shoe to massage my feet while still. It is easy to walk in these too as they are not too flimsy to cause missteps,” wrote one fan.
