Read on for 13 picks for self-care that go beyond face masks and spa days.

Consumer Reports wellness products for 2022

Weighted blankets

Weighted blankets kind of feel like a warm hug. “It’s giving your body an external stimulus of comfort and safety, which can create comfort and safety in the brain,” Kate Truitt, PhD, told Consumer Reports. Sales of weighted blankets have risen since 2020, so this wellness pick isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Gravity Weighted Blanket

Gravity's weighted blanket comes in one size and three different colors: grey, navy or white. The cover is made of a micro-plush fabric and the inside contains glass beads for a soothing effect. Through Dec. 31, you can find this top-rated pick on sale for 20% off of the original price.

Luna Cotton Weighted Blanket

From blue grey to lavender, Luna's weighted blanket comes in several soothing colors and numerous sizes and weights. It comes in full, queen and king sizes, as well as weights as light as 12 pounds and as heavy as 20 pounds.

Massage guns

Massages can provide soothing relief for everything from soreness to aches and pains. If you can't head to the spa, a massage gun can help you attempt to feel better at home. These powered devices topped Consumer Reports' list.

Theragun Pro

Although pricey, this massage gun from Therabody features a rotating arm and ergonomic grip that make for a deep muscle treatment. The battery life lasts for 300 minutes on a single charge, but it also comes with two interchangeable external batteries. You have the option to customize the speed range of the device via Bluetooth using the Theragun app.

Renpho R3 Massage Gun

This affordable massage gun from Renpho has a 4.8-star overall rating from Amazon shoppers, but Consumer Reports gave the device a 5/5 for its ease of use. It operates on five different speeds and has a 10-minute timer to help you target each muscle group.

Home workouts with tech

Getting into a fitness routine can feel overwhelming. Investing in some tech can help give you the push you need to get out and get going, while also helping you monitor your progress.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Samsung's smartwatch comes in two different sizes that are both water-resistant up to 50 meters and can connect to your phone to help you track your fitness activities, whether you're running or rowing. It also connects to your Google account, so you can do everything from streaming YouTube Music to paying for your morning coffee.

Amazfit GTR 2 Smart Watch

With 90 sports modes, built-in Alexa and a 14-day battery life as some of its standout qualities, this smartwatch from Amazfit is not to be overlooked. More than 950 Amazon shoppers have given it a five-star rating, calling out the device for its value and durability.

Headphones

Tune into your workouts and focus with the help of some "buds," or take a 60-minute sound bath to soothe your mind.

Skullcandy Dime True Wireless Earbuds

If you're looking for an affordable pair of wireless earbuds, you might not have to look further than this pair. They come in six different colors and boast 12 hours of battery life on a single charge — for less than $25.

JBL Tune 510BT

If you prefer over-ear headphones, this pair from JBL won't cost you more than $30, if you catch them on sale. A five-minute charge gives them enough juice to play for two hours, but they can last for up to 40 hours at a time. While they are wireless, you can control the volume and even take calls by using the buttons on the ear-cup.
