19 Things That'll Make Bath Time Even Better
I'll have 10 "Jack Smellington" bath bombs. Thanks.
1. An over-the-drain protector for anyone with a pop-up drain that is a: the bane of their existence and b: constantly getting clogged. This can quickly be placed on top of the drain to trap gunk, plus can be easily removed and cleaned.
Promising review: "I've been very impressed! It's tall enough to fit easily over my pop-up drain and (even without suction cups) the weighted top keeps it in place. I have medium-length hair and seem to shed almost as much as my cat, but the drain protector catches it all and the hair is easily removed and tossed away. Best of all, the silicone doesn't hold onto mildew or mold. I have been able to spray and wipe away any grime with very little effort. It looks like this drain protector will last a very long time. This has been a very worthy purchase!"—Suneimi
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in a pack of four and six).
2. A eucalyptus bundle for an easy (and foolproof) way to add a bit of aromatherapy to the otherwise boring ritual of showering. This one is even wrapped with natural twine so you can easily hang it from your shower head.
Get it from BotanicaFleur on Etsy for $8+ (available in four sizes).
3. A fizzy bath bomb that smells divine (we're green tea, honey, lavender, and chamomile) and looks worthy of a photo for the 'gram. Plus, it evolves from a storm cloud into a rainbow and I feel like that's the energy I'm really looking for in 2020. Transformation, my friends.
Promising review: "I received these as a gift from my daughter. Wow! The scents are heavenly and they were boxed well and wrapped exquisitely! I love the rainbow colors of this bath bomb, what a brilliant idea! These would make for perfect gifts." —Ali's World
Get a set of four from Amazon for $19.97.
4. A suction holder that ~mustache~ you an important question: Aren't you sick and tired of not having a proper spot for your razor!? This nifty tool keeps it stored, within arms reach, and out of water to prevent rust from forming prematurely.
5. A vegan bath soak that enlists the help of organic bladderwrack seaweed to soothe your complexion. Treating your skin is as easy as one, two, lay down in the bath with a good book and preferably some wine.
6. An exfoliating towel so you can tackle a word that strikes fear into your heart: Backne. This effectively removes layers of dead skin that would otherwise lead to scarring — reviewers swear by using this in combo with Mario Badescu botanical body soap to make their back all but invincible to breakouts.
Promising review: "I've only been using this for a week. I have severe back acne discoloration and scarring, and I've already noticed a DRAMATIC difference in how my skin looks and feels! I'm thrilled with the results. I use this every night with the Mario Badesco AHA body wash." —Mariah
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
7. A suction cupholder that will hold your wine while you #relax.
Get it Amazon for $13.95.
8. A cake batter sugar scrub that will detoxify and hydrate your skin.
Get this sugar scrub from SweetClementineSoaps on Etsy for $8.50.
9. Shower squids that keep clutter off the edges of your tub.
*moves leg* *doesn't knock over shampoo bottle*
Get these shower squids from Uncommon Goods for $36.
10. A bathtub tray that even has a designated spot for your wineglass. Picture a fizzy bath bomb and perhaps a good show streaming on Netflix, perched on a sturdy surface that guarantees your laptop won't suffer water damage.
Get this bathtub tray from Amazon for $48.97.
11. A bubble bath that guarantees an endless amount of Santa soap beards.
12. A waterproof bluetooth speaker that makes it easy to put on mood music.

13. Galaxy soap bars that are out of this world.
Get this galaxy soap bar from TailoredSoap from Etsy for $8.99.
14. A two-paneled, padded foam pillow with ultra-strong suction cups that will actually stick to your tub. So long, resting my head on straight porcelain whilst trying to have a relaxing bath.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
15. A waterproof phone case, because accidents happen.
Bonus! Your touch screen will still work through the case.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
