Your Mattress Topper

Mattress toppers add extra comfort and protect your mattress from wear and tear, but they do wear out over time. Coop is an industry leader. Their high-quality mattress topper is made from cooling microfiber and absorbent memory foam. 

Your Pillow

When was the last time you replaced your pillow? The Sleep Foundation recommends changing your pillows every two years, max. Comphy’s 230-thread count down pillows are naturally odor-resistant and designed for long-term use.

Your Mattress

While we’re on the subject of sleep, it’s probably time to upgrade your mattress. Every inch of Casper’s Original Mattress is designed to give you a good night’s rest, from the memory foam to the targeted ergonomic zones to help support your spine. 

Your Bath Rug

If your bathroom has ever smelled damp or musty, your bath mat may be the culprit. Even with regular washing, a bath mat can accumulate dirt and fungal build-up that’s hard to remove. Memory foam bath rugs provide a plush, supportive landing that contours to the shape of your foot. They are also machine washable, allowing you to clean them often.

Your Socks

Old socks can cause more issues than people realize, from bacteria build-up to poor support. Raid your sock drawer for dingey pairs and replace them with these lightweight, cotton socks. They also have additional cushioning at the toe and heel for extra support and durability.

Your Skincare Routine

There’s no better time than the new year to upgrade your skin regimen. This bundle by Touch includes a glycolic toner, which helps improve the pH of your skin, a bright and clear cream, which color corrects your skin, and SPF 30 moisturizer, which is the best anti-aging tool. (Seriously, always wear sunscreen.)

Your Toothbrush

This Philips Sonicare 4100 electric toothbrush takes all of the guesswork out of your brushing routine by gently reminding you to switch sides and when to replace the brush head, and it will even ping if you’re brushing too hard. With all these features, it’s the perfect upgrade option from a traditional manual brush.

Prodyne Fruit Infusion Flavor Pitcher

Why not also upgrade your water in the new year? This pitcher has an insert that you can fill with fruit, vegetables, herbs, or whatever flavor you want to infuse your water.

Hoka Lop-Top Sneaker

Kick off those fitness goals with a new, stylish pair of sneakers. Hokas have soared in popularity in the past few years, and for good reason — they are supportive, comfortable, and come in various colors.
