Restoration Druid Healing Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.3
Foreword
In general, you should be using gems and enchants according to the stat weights shown to you by HealerStatWeights Addon or https://wowanalyzer.com. However, if you do not have spare items for both Mythic+ and Raiding, Mastery enchants and gems are a good compromise and will never be bad for either content.
Best Gems and Enchantsfor Restoration Druids
You should use 
Leviathan's Eye of Intellect in one socket, and
Quick Sand Spinel (or the cheaper 
Quick Owlseye) in all other
sockets.

Consumables for Restoration Druids
Best Flasks and Potions for Restoration
Greater Flask of Endless Fathoms should be used for raids along with
Potion of Replenishment as your potion of choice. You can also use
Potion of Unbridled Fury to pre-pot at the beginning of the fight for damage
since none of the potions provide any reasonable healing benefit.
Coastal Mana Potion can also be used once per fight as an instant Mana
restore if the fight does not allow for usage of
Potion of Replenishment.
Abyssal Healing Potion should be used alongside
Healthstones for emergency healing.
Best Food for Restoration
You should eat Mastery food (
Baked Port Tato or the cheaper
Ravenberry Tarts).
Augment Runes for Restoration
If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes
available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.
Starting in patch 8.3 you can also use the re-usable
Lightning-Forged Augment Rune to increase your primary stat by an equal
amount.
