Break out the bubbles Bubble Bath Machine, £14.95, from www.prezzybox.com
After a long, hard day there are few greater pleasures than relaxing with a soak in the tub. However, if you find your bubble bath doesn't really erm, bubble, this gizmo could be the solution. Easy to operate, pop in three AA batteries into the slot, fill the tank with your usual bath foam or soap and it will react with the water to send out a constant stream of bubbles. It's not quite a Jacuzzi experience, but should make a nice addition to your soaking session.

Wax lyrical Remote Control Candle Set (2 Pack), £9.99, from www.menkind.co.uk
It's the simple things that can relax us. A candle can conjure up images of a cosy restaurant meal with friends, or an evening curled up on the sofa with a loved one. However, there's also something a little angsty about them. Will the wax drip on the carpet? Will you accidentally set the place on fire? That's where this gadget can help. You get the joy of a candle without the annoying bits - like trying to find matches. The set of two remote controlled candles are straightforward to operate (standard on/off buttons and a remote control for the LED lights), so even if you're not 'technologically minded' this will still be a breeze.

Take a load off Deluxe Shiatsu Heated Foot Massager, £64.99, from www.homedics.co.uk
When you've been on your feet all day, a foot massage is heavenly. However, if you can't afford a masseuse to rub your tootsies on a daily basis, this makes a great substitute. With 18 massage heads, just plug it in and press the switch once for a normal massage and a second time to add heat to the mix. To turn it off, just press the button a third time. Leave your socks on, partly to keep the machine clean, but also so the rotating shiatsu balls don't tickle your feet. Then it's just a case of sitting back and enjoying the massage.

Be mindful PIP Stress Away, £145, from www.thepip.com
This tear-shaped device is rather clever. Simply charge it up, download the free apps and connect to your phone/tablet via Bluetooth. PIP uses a sensor to analyse your stress levels (the science behind it is it reads your 'electrodermal activity'), and you can also use the apps to help you unwind. There's the Stress Tracker and two games; The Loom, which shows you a picture of a landscape that changes as you de-stress, and Relax and Race; the more you unwind, the faster you'll get to the finish line. The apps and device are essentially a tech-way of practicing CBT and mindfulness. Want extra help? There's an additional app called Four Steps to Mindfulness (RRP £1.49).
