The Original Worm
$27 for 6.3 size; $37 for 7.0 size
The Original Worm combines the shape of therapy balls with the usefulness of a compact roller, sized to come along in a suitcase or day bag. Versatile without asking for much space, it makes a handy stocking stuffer for the traveler or outdoorsy friend who already enjoys a massage roller and would appreciate one that can tag along.
“I love how The Original Worm reaches spots my regular foam roller hadn’t, and it’s so much easier to pack.” Julie, Field Trip

This wearable band uses acoustic resonance therapy, personalized through a face scan in the app. It’s FDA-cleared for relief of moderate to severe nasal congestion caused by allergic and non-allergic rhinitis.

Human to Human Conversation Card Game
$36
For the host who would rather keep the conversation going than reach for the remote, Human to Human puts 100 prompts in a portable card game. It’s an easy thing to bring to a cabin weekend, pass around after dinner, or tuck into a gift for someone you would like to spend more time with. The invitation is simple: make a little space for a conversation that might not come up between passing the potatoes and clearing the plates.
“I had a few friends over the other evening who I have known a long while. One picked this up and we started asking the questions. I learned things about them I had never known. And honestly, about myself too. And after a few questions, being vulnerable felt less, well, vulnerable. I’m looking forward to my next opportunity to play.” Coretta, Field Trip
Good to Know: Recommended for ages 15 and up. Let people choose what they feel comfortable sharing; a good conversation does not need every question answered.
