yes!! Nice pillowcases are a must. A comfy bed is key for a depressive episode.

Happy to report that when he moved in, my boyfriend’s first aesthetic alteration to the apartment was mounting that exact Emily Flake cartoon (inexplicably) at eye level above the toilet.

I've seen the gurgle pot displays in kitchen stores all over the place, but this gift guide is the thing that will make me buy one. Maybe the mini one too, as a lil' treat.

I've had mine since 2012 (it was a gift from distantly related people I have never seen or spoken to again) and it bring me joy every day!

I want everything here, and it comforts me to know we both keep an extra Kerrygold butter on hand.

Just knowing that little gold package is in there makes it easier to get out of bed!

Thanks for sharing! I need many things from your list!

To share and spread the love… I live in a Comfy this time of year. Unlike other brands of blanket hoodies (of which I own several!! *Humble brag*), the Comfy is heavy. It feels like a lightly weighted blanket when wearing it. I wear it along side my Bose noise cancelling headphones and a set of Muk Luks cabin socks and pretend I live alone.

I also highly recommend this Bluetooth eye mask for sleeping, listening to an audiobook/guided meditation in the dark, or to just block out the world with the sound of your choice.

It has eyehole cut outs and the speakers are very thin and flat so you can sleep on your side without feeling them.

I am so intrigued by these bluetooth masks, I thought they were more expensive than this. Going to grab this one to trial! My eyes have been very tired lately. And I'm very impressed with your commitment to the Comfy brand haha
