Shop ET Style's top picks of products that have helped us stay relaxed, comfortable and safe during the pandemic.
It's been one year since the coronavirus pandemic shut down normal activity across the globe. Many of us adjusted daily life to staying at home.
With that said, online shopping surged during this time as we stocked up on products from comfortable loungewear to at-home beauty treatment items in lieu of in-person appointments and hobbies to take up like indoor gardening.
Ahead, our ET Style team has gathered products that helped us get through the first year of quarantine and continue to do so as we slowly and safely make our way to a new normal. Some of our stay-at-home staples include the therapeutic HappyLight, cozy Aerie sweatpants, meal delivery kits, Olive & June manicure set and, of course, face masks.
Shop the best products we've discovered during quarantine, below.
Verilux HappyLight Compact
When you're not getting enough sunlight, the Verilux HappyLight can help uplift your mood and energy. According to the Verilux website, the HappyLight therapy lamps "mimic sunlight to enhance mood, energy, sleep and focus" without UV rays. The brand claims their products help " winter blues, sleep disorders, light deprivation, jet lag, shift work and other symptoms alleviated by exposure to healthy light."
Click and Grow The Fruit & Veggie Kit
Indoor gardening is the perfect hobby to take up when you want to grow your own herbs, veggies and flowers without hassle. Click and Grow's Smart Gardens are easy to use and look great in any home. This bundle comes with the Smart Garden 3 and a variety pack of pods.
Aerie Fleece-Of-Mind Cropped Polo Sweatshirt & High Waisted Jogger
Sweatpants over everything as many of us continue to spend more time at home. A comfortable fleece jogger style took the place of our go-to pair of jeans for daily wearing. Pairing it with a matching sweatshirt or hoodie was a popular choice for a full cozy outfit. We love this affordable coordinating set by Aerie.

Rafi Nova Adults Smile Mask With Adjustable Ear Loops
We can't talk about quarantine staples without talking about face masks. The Smile Mask by Rafi Nova is a fantastic option as the clear panel lets others see your mouth -- especially those in the hard of hearing and deaf community who rely on non-verbal communication. The Smile Mask also is made from 100% cotton and has an adjustable nose bridge and ear loop straps that accommodate hearing aids and cochlear implants.
