Here's hoping you took a series of well-deserved vacations this summer. But just in case you didn't, I've found some easy ways to help you disconnect from everyday stresses and create your own little getaway at home. Or at the office.

What is it about the sound of flowing water? Gaiam.com has quite a selection of beautiful water fountains fit for countertops, desktops, bedside tables, etc. And while your mind is going with the flow, give your body something to look forward to: Gaiam massage tools, enhanced by the revolutionary Gaiam Soft Sounds (scientifically based music compositions proven to help you relax).

This book gives you 50 fun, simple ideas for daily stress relief. Only your money will be multitasking as you earn a 3% rebate from ConsumerClub.com. Don't forget to stop by the music store for a "Buddha Lounge" compilation.

So now your mind and muscles are getting some much-needed attention. How about your stomach? A fine wine and cheese basket from Wine.com and some petits fours from HarryandDavid.com will clear up the matter. And don't forget SurLaTable.com, where you'll find Fudge Fatale sauces, butter cookies, Lulu lavender honey and other sweet things. All three sites earn you a soothing 4% rebate from ConsumerClub.com.

Now, no relaxation plan is complete without a bathrobe and slippers. Pajamagram.com has you covered. You'll find irresistible pajamas and aromatherapy candles here as well.

Sitting at this computer can be a real pain in the neck. Turn to RelaxtheBack.com for eye pillows, travel pillows, sleep accessories, handheld massagers and more that can take the strain out of your spine and put a smile on your face. The latter part might also be attributed to a 3% rebate from ConsumerClub.com.

And if you have to sit at a screen, why not watch the peaceful skies of the "Color Calm" DVD found on Flight001.com? This 180-minute-long display shows a sequence of color-changing skies with drifting clouds set to soothing music. Right now you can also find eye masks, travel slippers and travel bags to carry all your pampering essentials around town during the hot Summer Sale (prices 40-75% off).

I could go on all day. But that wouldn't be very relaxing, would it? I'll close with another personal favorite: The new "Happiness" scent from BathandBodyWorks.com. It's supposed to smell like citrus and water mint (whatever that is). But to me, the set of four bath-side tea lights smells like pure heaven. Never mind the Sandalwood Rose scent, Lavender Vanilla, AquaTanica's Sea Salt Scrub and Bath Soak ...
