Therabody Wave Roller ($180)
Foam rolling is equally as important as stretching after a run, because it allows you to relieve muscle tension and soreness on an even deeper level. The Wave Roller is a slightly more advanced product because it vibrates to assist in the process and the texture carved into the foam adds extra dimension to help you massage your body at varied angles, while also providing traction. It's one of those essentials to purchase for yourself if you're really dedicated to becoming a better runner. You can read my full review of the Therabody Wave Roller for more information, but it's all the confirmation you need that I back Therabody as a go-to, quality brand for self-gifting.
In fact, I also have my eyes on the newly-launched Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo ($380), which is a dermatologist-approved, FDA-cleared LED skin-care mask that combines red, red + infrared, and blue light therapy with a relaxing scalp massage in 12 minutes — how many red light products have you seen that can do all that? (Also, yes, Kendall Jenner is the face of the product's campaign).
