22 of the best self-care gifts to treat yourself to this year

The Amazon Kindle isn't new by any means, but it may be new to her (especially if reading is a recent venture). Although it's the most affordable e-reader in Amazon's lineup, Broida can't stop singing its praises, saying "it's full-featured and just plain great overall." What does that mean exactly? Well, it's featherweight, has a dark mode for nighttime reading and holds thousands of books.

Cozy Earth pajamas are the ultimate luxury. Available in sizes XS-XXXL and more than 10 colors, this PJ set prevents night sweats and bunching, thanks to its incredible stretch-knit bamboo viscose fabric.

Do you ever wish your favorite disposable eye patches were reusable? With Dieux's Forever Eye Mask, you can apply your favorite eye cream or serum and then put the eye mask on top to lock in the product and boost hydration.

Like a weighted blanket but for your face. This eye mask contours to your face, applying gentle pressure and blocking out light. The pull-through design secures it to your head, ensuring that it won't slide off while you sleep.

AirTags can keep tabs on far more than just keys. Though Apple doesn’t officially recommend its Bluetooth trackers for cats and dogs, it’s still a popular use. And of all the trackers I’ve tested, these come the closest to something that would actually work for moving objects. GPS tags offer more accurate location surveillance, but they tend to cost more and require a subscription, two factors that make them less-than-ideal gifts.

Though the AirTags rely on Bluetooth, the range is impressive and the triangulation between the tags and any nearby iPhone is eerily accurate, getting you within yards of a lost tag. Then the Ultra-wideband (UWB) directions will direct you to within a few feet. A friend of mine is the director of an animal shelter and they have four AirTag-rigged collars they put on "flight risk" dogs during foster transfers, just in case. — Amy Skorheim, Reporter
