    33 Bath Products To Give As Gifts Instead Of A Spa Gift Card

    Good luck trying not to daydream about a warm midday bath while shopping this post.

    Hey! While we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time for Christmas, shipping times are tricky and can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. Shop early and be sure to double check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for the 25th!

    1. A 12-pack of bath bombs made with natural ingredients they'll love for how soft and moisturized their skin feels after using one.

    an array of colorful bath bombs

    2. Or a set of energy-restoring shower steamers they can add into their morning or nightly rinse to transform a typically quick chore into a spa-like experience. Yes, I know this is supposed to be *all about bath time* but not everyone has ample time to soak every day (I, sadly, do not).

    Promising review: "I kept seeing this product pop up on TikTok so I decided to buy a pack and I'm SO GLAD I DID! These smell so good and are a perfect way to relax while in the shower. I now recommend them to everyone I know!" —Merry

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $26.97+ (available in four scents). 

    3. A carbonated bubble clay mask that starts to bubble once it's applied — encourage your buddy to apply it once they get in the tub for some seriously silly (but relaxing!) times.

    4. A Renpho percussion massager — a perfect gift for your partner who is forever complaining about the knots in their back and wishing they could take a daily trip to the spa. They can use this beauty before slipping into the tub for an evening soak.

    5. Exfoliating skincare mitts designed to lift away dead skin (and remove a spray tan that's seen better days) — an excellent way for them to kickstart their spa-like experience at home.

    Promising review: "If you're trying to find something for body exfoliation...this is it. Just this glove, water, and some time. I soaked in the bathtub for about 10 minutes, then got to exfoliating." —Kari Shawhan

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $5.50.

    6. And a callus-removing gel that'll help them create the smooth, soft feet they've always longed for — the first step is soaking in hot water, making this a great addition to bath time!

    Promising review: "I've had rough heels for awhile now, with calluses on the bottom of both of my feet, at the ball to be perfectly honest. It hurts to walk on the balls of my feet, unless I cut the hard part off. I decided to purchase this and try it after the reviews. I did soak my feet for 10 minutes, dried them off lightly, put the callus remover gel on them for 10 minutes the first time, used a foot scraper, and everything came off.  A little goes a long way. I will use this at least three more times, and I know I will have baby smooth feet again. I am definitely buying this again!" —Kesha T.

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    7. An OXO tub stopper they can rely on to keep all of their hot water in place instead of sloooowly going down the drain — no more finding themselves naked and cold because their water has disappeared.

    8. And an overflow cap that'll ensure their bubble bath stays filled to the brim for the ultimate soaking experience — yes, even if they stay in there for hours and hours.

    Promising review: "Baths have changed for me forever now! I can actually FILL THE TUB and not hear that dreaded sound of half my water (and my expensive magnesium flakes, essential oils, organic bubble baths, and other fancy therapeutic ingredients) tragically vanishing down the drain. If you're a larger person trying to fit in a smaller tub especially, you know...THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. Now, I can take more baths and enjoy more warm coziness. All because of this little bit of silicone!" —anonymous

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in nine colors).

    9. A supportive bath pillow, a must-have for anyone who desperately needs to soak the stress of their day away (ahem, me) before hittin' the hay.

    a white, squishy bath pillow

    10. Or, a more plush bath pillow option, so they can happily lounge and read the novel you *also* got them for Christmas from cover to cover comfortably.

    Promising review: "This has a lot of cushion for your back and neck. I had no issues with sticking it to the tub. The best part is the hook which allows it to dry out well. In this time of working at home, I need a nice tub to help relax." —Danielle Piacentini

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

    11. A dry brush set to help them indulge in a full-blown, bath time skincare routine — super soft skin is in their future!

    This set includes two rough bristled brushes, a small one for hands, face, neck, and feet, and a larger one for the rest of the body. It includes exfoliating gloves and a handle extension to brush hard-to-reach areas.

    Promising review: "I have used many brushes from different brands in the past. This is definitely my favorite. I received this as a gift, and I can’t say enough about it. It's perfect for the winter months. I use self tanners, and I occasionally spray tan. This product is perfect for getting all the dead skin off!! Definitely a beauty recommendation!!" —Jo.DeAngelo

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95.

    12. A waterproof Bluetooth speaker they can clip onto their shower curtain rod and pump in soothing nature sounds to truly give their bathroom a spa-like aesthetic.

    13. A shower phone holder, because why shouldn't we be able to watch endless episodes of The Real Housewives while soaking in the tub?

    Promising review: "This product is the answer to my search for a way to have music or Netflix playing while in the shower! The adhesion quality is great, and it's very easy to use. It fits my iPhone XS Max very well and is very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone!" —Jackie Donovan

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four colors).

    14. An electric waterproof bubble massage mat complete with a built-in heater and an aroma clip for essential oil aromatherapy — a gift that'll keep on giving. Just imagine how wonderful this will feel after a long workout or a long winter day spent outdoors.

    Promising review: "This product provides a great massage technique for my back muscles. I experience a lot of pain and tension in my shoulders. And I have chronic pain in my lower back. I also like the aromatherapy pad. What a great, soothing, and relaxing experience for the low cost." —Octavia

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (originally $130.89).

    15. A set of flameless LED candles to bring a calming ambiance to their bathroom without the added worry of "OMG, did I leave that candle on?"

    These have a 10-key remote that allows you to control the brightness, flicker, *and* choose between a 2, 4, 6, or 8-hour timer. PS, get some batteries!

    Promising review: "Love these! I don't like to burn real candles because I can't handle scents, but I like the look of candles as part of decor and candlelight. I hate those cheep faux wax looking ones. These are much more sleek and fashionable. You can't immediately tell they aren't real. It's not glass but a very sturdy hard plastic which I prefer with a toddler running around. My only small complaint is the remote sensor can be weird. The candles can be right next to each other, and sometimes, not all three will turn on, so I have to hit the button three to four times. There's also a flicker light option which helps make them more realistic. Buying more!" —Amazon customer

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four colors).

    16. A gorgeous bottle of bubble bath that'll look just as nice in their bathroom as it'll feel when they sink into its suds. Sounds like a win-win!

    The bubble bath has a luxurious white tea and honeysuckle scent that's sure to impress.

    Promising review: "This is such a gorgeous bottle, darling tassel and great quality. I enjoy giving this for gifts to all my friends that enjoy a bath." —okiegirls

    Shipping info: Order by December 20 to ensure orders arrive by Christmas — but Anthropologie will upgrade your shipping free of charge to ensure items arrive before the order cut-off date.

    Get it from Anthropologie for $52.

    17. A towel warmer — the ultimate bathroom luxury! Your loved one will be able to climb out of their steamy tub and wrap themselves up in a towel that's nice 'n' warm.

    It can fit up to two towels and has a 15-minute adjustable timer.

    Promising review: "After reading lots of reviews on several different towel warmers, I bought this product for my mom for Christmas. I tested it out before giving it to her. It works great! The timer looks so sleek and fancy. Even at only 15 minutes, you get a nice, warm towel! 10/10 would recommend! Already thinking of buying one for myself!" —Kaylee Sierra

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $139.99.

    18. Or, a splurge-worthy wall-mounted electric towel warmer, in case your pal doesn't have *all that much* room in their bathroom but would still very much appreciate a toasty towel.

    Promising review: "This towel warmer is amazing. I was looking for something with a built-in timer and an in-wall cable installation that doesn’t have an ugly box outside of it. I love how the cable is integrated into the leg. The install was very difficult on my end due to trying to fish power from my attic to the bathroom and the hole being 1/2 an inch. I didn’t have any power outlets nearby. Totally worth it. It does get very warm, and my small bathroom doesn’t have a heater in it, so I was surprised how warm the bathroom was! An added bonus!" —Terrace

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $298.85 (available in three colors).

    19. Dr Teal's "Soothe and Comfort" Epsom Salt they can sprinkle into a hot bath and relax from head-to-toe.

    20. A golden under-eye mask even someone who has never set foot in an actual spa can pop on their face and feel like they're livin' large while they soak.

    21. A bamboo bath tray to give them just one more reason to fill your tub to the brim and soak for hours while listening to Enya.

    22. A festive bath salt for the ultimate spa night soak that'll also help soothe their skin. Maybe they'll be able to convince their S.O. to feed them grapes while they lounge for the full royal treatment.

    23. A coffee scrub that'll combine their love of caffeine and skin care — it'll have your gift recipient exclaiming, "You know me so well!"

    Promising review: "I have been using this exfoliant on my face, hands, elbows/knees, legs, and feet. The smell is amazing, and I have found it to be super moisturizing on my skin's rough spots. I am satisfied with this product. And the price point is nice as well, compared to others on the market." —Michelle Williams

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get it from Amazon for $14.95.

    24. A stylish bath mat with a marbled look to it that'll feel nice 'n' squishy under their feet while also providing the same chic vibe they'd expect to see at the spa.

    Ruggable

    I have one of these Ruggable bath mats, and it's, honestly, so comfortable. I spend a lot of time sitting on it while giving my baby a bath (lol), and it's surprisingly plush. I love that you can interchange the style (the cover is removable) and also toss it directly into the washing machine to clean it!

    Shipping info: Orders typically ship in 2 weeks, but you can also select Express Shipping for an additional fee.

    Get it from Ruggable for $129 (comes with a cover and a pad).

    25. Lavender essential oil and a tiny diffuser they can use to fill their bathroom with a soothing scent. Let it wash over the space. Breathe in, breathe out.

    26. A rose quartz facial roller and gua sha that is said to help alleviate headache pain and increase circulation in the face. They can also use it to help with tension headaches and jaw pain.

    27. A Himalayan salt lamp they'll love if candles make them sneeze because it'll create a similar soft, warm glow in their bathroom without additional scents.

    28. A mesh body exfoliator from Luv Scrub with so many uses they'll want to spend more time in the tub than ever before. They can use this unique piece of material to dry brush their skin, exfoliate with their fave body wash, and remove ingrown hairs.

    29. A towel from Havly that'll get softer each time they wash it — don't you think they deserve it?

    30. A mini beauty fridge you can count on to garner some "oohs" and "ahhs" when they open it on Christmas morning — it'll keep their skincare products (think: serums, rollers, the works) chilled so they'll feel super refreshing on their face post-bath.

    Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in seven styles).

    31. A reusable Lush bubble bar shaped like a candy cane that'll be a welcomed and festive addition to their bath routine.

    32. A WoodWick Trilogy candle complete with layers of different scents — it's like three candles in one! The best part? The wick crackles and sounds like a real fire to create the *coziest* bath environment possible.

    I'm personally a big fan of these crackling candles — and so is BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower. She said:

    "WoodWick Candles are my husband's #1 favorite candle brand, and he's THE pickiest candle person I know. We both love how they crackle like a campfire and dig every single scent we've tried!"

    Promising review: "Beautiful bubbled glass jars. This is the most PURE smelling vanilla candle I have ever sniffed upon! 😌 When I opened it, I was on a vanilla cloud. The lid is awesome, too. It does a very good job at keeping the candle smell contained. I’ll be buying this brand for a while!" —Sarah Buckley

    Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

    Get a large hourglass candle from Amazon for $28.12 (originally $30.77; available in several scents).

    33. A faux succulent wall that'll transform their bathroom into a steamy, lush rainforest of sorts without the added stress of caring for real plants.
