When the holidays are over, you need a vacation from all those festivities. You’re tired and in need of some rejuvenation — not to mention a snack. Though you’ve already given and received some big-ticket items for the holidays, a few little luxuries could do you some good. But where can you find these treats at less-than-opulent prices?

At your old pal Trader Joe’s, that’s where. As a regular TJ’s shopper, you know you can get one-of-a-kind items that will leave you feeling full in more ways than one at low prices. GOBankingRates decided to bundle up and head to our local Trader Joe’s to find some of the little luxuries you should snap up in January.

Marine Radiance Set

• Price: $12.99

Winter is rough on the skin. From your elbows to your knees and that weird patch on your wrist, you’re feeling flaky and dry. While going for a spa treatment may not be in your after-the-holidays budget, pampering yourself with this assortment of body oil, body scrub and brush should be very affordable. Based on ancient skin-care techniques, this set is designed to help exfoliate and invigorate your skin.

Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream Trio

• Price: $7.99

Though Trader Joe’s is best known for its culinary delights, the brand is no slouch when it comes to products that help you feel healthier and more luxurious inside and out. These hand creams — made with shea butter, coconut oil and safflower seed oil — offer high-quality protection that isn’t greasy or sticky. Each tube is the perfect size for a purse or bag, and they come in scents like mandarin orange and spices, pear and vetiver, and jasmine and ginger.

Dark Chocolate Covered Caramels

• Price: $5.49

Dark chocolate is decadent in its own right. So is caramel. Put them together and you have a confection that is so exquisitely delicious that snacking on one of these dark chocolate caramels might convince you that you’re in a Parisian salon — even if you’re stuck in your midafternoon meeting. They pair well with coffee, tea or wine, making them an ideal luxury treat for the winter.

Chocolate Mascarpone

• Price: $3.99

Is there anything more opulent than a fine cheese? Perhaps a fine dessert cheese like this chocolate mascarpone, which brings glamor and sweetness to everything from crackers to strawberries. And who are we kidding — sometimes you just want to sample it straight from the spoon. With this rich, cocoa-flavored dessert cheese, we certainly couldn’t blame you.

2 Affogatos Vanilla Non-Dairy Frozen Desserts

• Price: $4.49

Just because you can’t do dairy — whether you’re vegan or dairy doesn’t like you as much as you like it — doesn’t mean you don’t deserve a luxurious Italian dessert. Trader Joe’s brings you this staple of gelato shops, the affogato. Each package comes with two cups of vanilla non-dairy frozen dessert and instant coffee. Just open a cup, pour the coffee into the well within the dessert and add an ounce of hot water. That’s all it takes to bring a gorgeous affogato right to your table. It’s a perfect after-dinner dessert or afternoon pick-me-up.
