1. A pair of socks that'll keep your tootises warm while also telling people to give you some space.
They're made of a comfy blend of wool and polyester with a little bit of elastic at the top that'll prevent them from slouching to your ankles.
Get them from FabricatedKeepsakes on Etsy Canada for $19.50 (available in 12 colours).
2. A pair of noise-cancelling headphones that'll block out any unwanted distractions, like when your roommates are getting a little too rowdy. It has over 4,000 five-star reviews and people love that it stays charged for about 30 hours and comes with a sturdy, protective case.
3. A colouring book that'll help soothe your soul when people are being too, you know, people-y.
4. A candle that'll give your room a little ambience for the evenings you choose to stay at home and cuddle up with your book.
Once the candle is finished burning you can easily dig out the remaining wax and remove the label to store your pencils or trinkets.
Get it from CalicoCandlesCo on Etsy Canada for $34.99 (available in nine scents and in two lid options).
5. A door mat that'll hopefully encourage your unwanted visitors to rethink knocking on your door. The bristles are made from natural coconut fibre that'll help get rid of mud, snow, and any other unwanted outdoor bits from coming indoors.
7. A planner for your scribbles and thoughts on taking over the world for when (okay, fine, “if”) you get so fed up with the state of things you decide to actually take matters into your own hands.
It has monthly and weekly calendars as well as a spot for records.
Get it from PaperlandOnlineStore on Etsy Canada for $28.67.
8. A portable essential oil diffuser for when you need help winding down after a long day of video meetings. It's smaller than a smartphone, has two light modes, two mist modes, and will automatically shut off when the tank is empty, so you don't have to worry about it overheating.
9. And a set of essential oils that you can use to create your own bespoke mixtures. It comes with the soothing scents of eucalyptus, lavender, lemon grass, orange, peppermint, and tea tree that you can mix and match until you find the perfect blend.
10. A cotton T-shirt that says what you're too afraid to actually say out loud to that person trying to chat you up.
Beware, though — one reviewer says that people approach them on a regular basis asking where they got the shirt from!
Get it from QuriousShop on Etsy Canada for $27.54 (available in three colours and sizes XS-3XL).
11. Or a sweater that's a little more blunt. It's made with a super-soft blend of cotton and polyester that'll keep you warm (and hopefully help you avoid human interaction) as the weather starts to dip.
Get it from GeekDownApparel on Etsy Canada for $48.02+ (available in five colours and in sizes XS-XXL).
12. A drain cover that’ll add a few extra inches of water to your tub for the deepest bath possible when you need some quiet alone time. It works by preventing water from going into the overflow outlet, so you can finally submerge your whole body and enjoy a good soak.
13. And a milk bath soak that smells like delicious coconuts. It'll moisturize and soften your skin while you're having your ~me time~, so your skin will be oh-so-touchable when you get out (but that doesn't mean you have to let anyone touch you!).
Get it from Sephora Canada for $24.
14. A pair of slippers that'll keep your feet warm while you embark on episode 946 of your Grey's Anatomy binge-session. They have over 3,000 five-star reviews and people love how comfy and soft they are.
15. A pin featuring a little astronaut floating in a cup of coffee, which is truly a mood. We could all use a little space right now, tbh — six feet apart, everyone!
Get it from sharpmindesigns on Etsy Canada for $12.80.
16. A pair of blue-light blocking glasses that'll help ease the strain on your eyes if you spend all your time on your laptop writing up the next great Canadian novel. They'll make spending hours staring at your computer screen a little easier on your eyes and can even help ease headaches.
17. A 1000-piece dinosaur puzzle that'll give you an excuse to opt out of the next family Zoom hangout: "Sorry, Mom, I'm brushing up on my paleontology..."
Get it from ModCloth for $20.
18. A pillow spray that might help you drift off to sleep a little easier, if your mind is furiously replaying every awkward thing you said and did that day. It's made of a blend of all-natural lavender, sandalwood, and rosemary that’ll lull you into a state of pure relaxation.
19. A mug that proudly proclaims that you're a homebody, because leaving the comfort of your own space is overrated.
Get it from SavvyandGraceDesigns on Etsy Canada for $25.96.
20. A face mask that'll keep you and those around you safe while running essential errands that'll also let everyone know what you'd actually like to be doing.
21. And lastly, a sticker that you can decorate your laptop or water bottle with that'll proudly show off who you are, because being an introvert is the best!
Get it from RKLetteringDesign on Etsy Canada for $5.65.
