You’re not dreaming. Pinch Me Therapy Dough is the real deal. Created by a clinical hypnotherapist, this placating putty combines the power of scents known for their pacifying properties (try the coconut goodness of Tropics) with pliant textures to release tension. The putty, which also comes in a variety of calming colors, may be just what your loved ones “knead” to squish their way through stress. ($23.99)
Aveda’s Stress-Fix concentrate lets you roll with the changes. The stress-reducing essences of lavender, lavandin, and clary sage from organic farms, formulated using Aveda “aromaology,” make this rollerball an on-the-go must-have.
