Top Ten Gift Ideas for the Overworked and Under Paid

Great Stress Relieving Gift Idea

Ann Siper
1. The Homedics® Therapist Select™ Quad Roller Massaging Cushion:

This awesome cushion is the perfect gift for anyone who is overworked and a little stressed out. It has a moving quad roller massage mechanism, which could out rival almost any human massage therapist. You can get a deep relieving massage whenever you need it. Four independent rollers move up and down your back with six programs and you don't even have to call ahead and make an appointment. You can choose from full, upper or lower back in your choice of Shiatsu or rolling massage styles.

It also has an advanced microprocessor touch pad control provides targeted relief for any area of your back. My favorite feature is that the Command Track feature lets you adjust the width of the rollers so they comfortably fit your body with the touch of a button.

I found the Homedics® Therapist Select™ Quad Roller Massaging Cushion at Linens and Things for about $150.

5. Soma Sunset Chamomile Tea

Chamomile Tea has been drunk for centuries. The parts of the chamomile plant used in Chamomile Tea are its flowers. As an ingredient in many teas chamomile is used to relax, aid digestion, relieve headaches and help treat allergies.

SOMA Sunset tea has taken the classic Chamomile Tea a few steps further. This awesome tea helps you relax and unwind at the end of the day while creating a mood of calm. The unique mixture of Chamomile Tea and other herbs and spices in SOMA Sunset is one of the best tasting teas I have ever had. You can buy it for about $6.

Massaging slippers are a great way to end a long and stressful work day. The Invigorating vibration works on tired muscles, while the signature soft sole provides the ultimate support. The Toggle allows for a comfortable yet snug fit. The slippers are made with soft and cozy fleece material. You can buy them in two different sizes to accommodate most foot sizes.
They cost about $20 and can b bought at The Sharper Image and Bed Bath and Beyond.

7. As Seen On TV Spin Spa™

This battery-powered brush comes with 5 attachments that you can use for cleaning, massage and exfoliating your tired and overworked skin. I love this product because there is even a pedicure brush and microdermabrasion brush. The long and easy to hold handle makes it easy to handle and get at hard-to-reach places, like the small of your back. I like this simple and affordable massage tool because you can use your favorite soap or body wash. One bit of warning; it requires 3 "AA" batteries, which are not included.

It is only $15 and can be bought at many of the As Seen on TV Stores in the mall as well as any of the home decor stores that have an As Seen ON TV Section.

10. Scented Lotions from the Body Shop

Lotions are a great, inexpensive stress relief gift for yourself or someone else. You can use lotions as part of a massage, to soothe tired feet, to feel pampered, or just to keep your skin healthy.

You can find this lotion for about $10 or less depending on what size you buy.
