The winter holidays are upon us and despite the festive feelings we might be hoping for, this time of year is often paired with increased stress, worry and anxiety. Fortunately, there are tools out there that can help you manage those negative emotions and enjoy the holiday season to the fullest. The meditation app Headspace is one such tool, and Black Friday deals have brought subscription costs down by 50 percent. You can get one year of Headspace for $35 right now, which is half off its usual $70 price tag.

Reviewer Lawrence Bonk appreciated how well Headspace created progression across its courses, as well as the chance to pick from different instructors so that any user can find the meditation guidance that will work best for their individual brains. This app is also getting the AI treatment. Headspace has introduced an AI companion named Ebb that can help users by recommending meditations and activities to best match their current challenges.
Since this is a year-long subscription, it's a gift that keeps on giving for whoever you choose to buy this plan for. Having a happier brain is a present anyone can appreciate.
