Lucky Feather Friendship Necklaces, $18

Color Therapy Kit, $14.95
MFA Shop, 465 Huntington Ave., Boston
mfashop.com

Adult coloring books are all the rage right now, and these kits from the MFA come complete with 96 pages of designs, eight colored pencils, and even a pencil sharpener to ensure that everything goes smoothly during your new favorite downtime.

Mini Buddha Board, $15.95
PEM Shop, 161 Essex St, Salem
pemshop.com

As an alternative to the adult coloring books, the Buddha Board lets you create your own designs—with water. The designs gradually fade away, which—depending on what you wrote or painted—could make for a pretty cathartic experience.

Perfect for the caffeine junkie always on the go, this bottle by Primula is more than just a travel mug, letting you brew your coffee right inside.
