1. A facial steamer for the full *spa* experience. This baby even doubles as a humidifier and has an extra chamber to warm towels. No more standing in front of boiling water or opening your dishwasher for a little steam. You'll get TONS of use out of this awesome little device.
Reviewers suggest you use distilled water only. The steamer also comes with a five-piece stainless-steel blackhead and blemish extractor kit.
Promising review: "This!!! This is a great steamer. You get the benefits of facial steaming without the spa price. I am obsessed with it. The tools you get with this steamer are a popper's DREAM COME TRUE. A way to get rid of pimples and blackheads. Such a relaxing way to 'detox the day.' Easy to use, love the towel warming feature, doubles as a humidifier, comes with skin tools, what else do you need??" —karmen h.

2. A Peter Thomas Roth temporary eye tightener that'll help ~instantly~ tighten up those bags and make you look wideeee awake. IDK about you, but I feel personally attacked whenever anyone says I look tired. You'll be shook when you see these results right before your eyes and everyone will think a professional worked that magic.
Promising reviews: "Easy to apply, easy to wash off, and did not irritate my skin. This works in a minute or so to tighten skin. It is incredible. I bought it for the baggies under my eyes and now use it for my whole face because it tightens my pores for a flawless look. I don't know why it isn't being marketed for minimizing pores but this is amazing. My 40-year-old skin looks fresh and youthful like a kid. Definitely worth the $38. You will not be disappointed." —Jessie M.
Get it from Amazon $38+ (available in two sizes).
3. Or a pack of 20 24-karat-gold under-eye masks with hyaluronic acid and collagen to help with dark circles. Nothing better than putting eye masks in the fridge, then putting the cool little miracle workers under your eyes. It's giving "I only got three hours of sleep but you probz think I just got a facial."
Promising review: "Wow! These are amazing, a must-try under-eye patch. You can actually feel it working. Definitely a great beauty product and they're easy and comfortable to use. I thought it was gonna be more complicated than it was but it was very easy and relaxing. It felt like I had been to a spa at home. Rejuvenating, no smell, plus, I actually saw a difference. I would recommend this product to others. Very inexpensive and affordable for something that really makes a difference and works! Great company and great product! So when you get home, kick off your shoes, place these under your eyes, and relax with a nice glass of wine! I bet you'll be feeling great and looking great." —Danielle N.

4. A jade roller and gua sha set so you can reduce puffy morning face and help shape your jawline. Literally, Finn Wolfhard's jaw will have nothing on yours by the time the gua sha snatches your jawline up. People will wonder what's changed about you. Botox? Filler? Spa treatment? No babe, just a gua sha, and your wallet didn't even cry.
Throw these babies in the fridge or freezer so they're cold and it'll elevate the experience THAT much more.
Promising reviews: "I have been pining for a gua sha for months and I was finally able to get one! I opened this lovely box and there she was, just waiting to sculpt my jaw, chin, and neck. I plucked her from her resting place and with light pressure sculpted my jawline, chin, and neck BEFORE MY VERY EYES! Absolute magic. I will be gifting one of these incredible gifts to each and every person I love because they all also deserve to be beautifully sculpted." —Emily
"I love this item, it is very helpful. It’s like having a mini spa at home. Something great to have at home for a busy mama." —Diamondone new
Get them from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in three colors).
5. Or a facial ice roller you can throw in the fridge or freezer, then use it to de-puff your puffy morning eyes and start your self-care day off right. It can also help relieve migraines so, aha, win-win situation baby, am I right?
Promising review: "I went to a high-end spa that used one of these on my face. It felt so good so I ran home and found this on Amazon. This tool is the best. I use it for a thigh tissue that needs to be iced frequently. This tool is so easy — no bags of ice, just use the freezer roller! I use it for headaches and on face to feel good! I can't say enough good things about this product. Everyone should have one! My boyfriend loves it too!" —Rula
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in nine colors).
6. A cozy waffle robe because what's a spa experience without a robe?! It's cozy and perfect to lounge in at home whenever you need a little relaxation. Oh and there are pockets, too!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this robe! As a new mom, I had truly forgotten what relaxation was, so I bought this robe to help me relax after a shower. I’m so glad I did! I’m 5’6", and it’s long enough to cover everything, soft, and reminds me so much of the robes you wear at the spa. If you’re debating buying this, do it!!" —Madison L.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in unisex sizes S–XXL and in 10 colors).
7. And a two-pack of hair towel wraps to complete the whole *spa vibe lewk*. They're super absorbent, dry quickly, and even have a loop system to keep them from constantly falling off of your head.
Promising review: "I always struggle with wrapping my hair in regular towels. It falls out a bunch of times. This towel helps me secure my hair while I put my makeup on. It can stay in place even with dry hair. Also, it dries my hair very well and does not make it frizzy. It is made of very thick, absorbent fabric and is very well made. I would liken it to fancy spa-like-quality. Highly recommend!!!" —Genners
Get it from Amazon for $9.31+ (available in 13 colors).
8. Or a facial headband for keeping your hair out of the way while you get your spa on. Go ahead, do your 30-step skincare routine and don't worry about your hair getting product all in it.

9. A pair of fuzzy slippers so your toesies can be comfy all day as you pamper yourself. And they're so so cute!
Promising review: "I got these for my mom as part of a 'home spa set' I gifted her for Christmas and I’m about to order a pair for myself. I was worried that they were going to be flat after shipping but they’re still SUPER DUPER FLUFFY. Instructions said you could blow dry them to fluff them up a little but there was no need. They’re perfect for the winter — soft, fuzzy, and warm. My mom wears them every day and she absolutely LOVES them. Not to mention the fact that they’re super cute and such a beautiful color. Great product for the price." —GiraffePie
Get them from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–10 and 13 colors).
10. An aromatherapy milk bath for a luxurious, Cleopatra-style bath. Cleopatra used milk and honey in her bath to even skin tone, moisturize, and exfoliate and that's what you deserve, too. Only the best all 2023 — luxury self care, period.

Promising review: "This feels extremely luxurious, I’ve bought bath bombs from all over but this is the best smelling and feeling one I’ve had so far. Shipping was fast!" —Shana
Get it from Earthy Queens on Etsy for $8.95+ (available in two weights).
11. A mud mask that's infused with collagen to reduce pores and treat blackheads. It's good for any skin type, effective, and gentle so you can use it every day. With great ingredients like Dead Sea mineral mud, aloe vera, vitamin E, and much more goodness, it'll get those pores purified and squeaky clean just like your esthetician does.
Promising review: "This is one of my top three fave facial masks! I’ve used a wide array of mask products — from cheap, convenience store singles, to high-end, budget-bursting spa treatments. The Dead Sea Mud Mask is very affordable, and worth every penny! It’s a rather dense mud mask, with a consistency of thick frosting. It does get a bit messy when washing it off, so I prefer to remove mine in the shower instead of the sink. My skin ranges from normal to flaky dry in the winter, and this mask never makes my skin overly dry. I use this mask about once a week, it is neither oily nor drying, and lasts quite awhile. I’m almost finished with my second jar, and I will be purchasing another soon! My only wish is that it came with an applicator." —JustTheOneMahi
Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in two sizes and seven styles).
12. A SipCaddy wine and beer holder so you can have the most perfect, relaxing bath. It's got a strong suction cup and the plastic is dishwasher safe. What could be better than a bath and bubbly on a treat-yourself day?
Promising reviews: "Such a simple idea, how is this just coming into my life now? I didn't think showers could get any better but now I have a brew/wine within reach at all times. Really helps take the edge off after a long day. The thing is way sturdier than you'd expect, I've tugged on it and it's not going anywhere. The slotted design allows you to use stemmed wineglasses, too. A truly perfect product. This piece of plastic is working as hard as my therapist and I stan." —Steven
"Bought this for relaxing in the tub. Most excellent! The suction cup is strong — easily holds a full glass of wine or can of soda, this design can accommodate either one. Perfect for my Sunday spa beauty rituals." —heatherbree23
Get it from Amazon for $12.80+ (available in six styles).
13. An expandable wooden bath caddy that'll hold your phone, tablet, book, beverages, candles, snacks, whatever you need to make your bath time an at-home spa time. You'll say "ooh la la" as soon as you set this baby up in your bathroom.
Promising reviews: "This is a well-constructed, solid little bath device, and my girlfriend loves it. Fits any tub and has lots of small neat features like the wine glass holder and iPad/Kindle/book stand. Add some candles and bath bombs, and she feels like she's at a spa or 5-star hotel." —Mike in Monterey
"I looked at dozens of designs for a bathtub tray/caddy and gave this one a try. We couldn't be more pleased with the product and its performance. It is absolutely secure enough to trust your electronics not to take a dive into the water, has a space dedicated to that special glass of wine, and is so adjustable that I can't think of a tub it wouldn't work with. The bamboo is attractive, and adds to the spa feeling of the tray. We enthusiastically recommend this product." —P. Thompson
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors).
14. A Spa Day soy candle for some lovely scents to fill the air as you relax. With hints of sea salt, jasmine, and wood and a 40 hour burn time, you're sure to love. And it's called "Spa Day," so like, how freaking perfect for the vibezzz.
Sweet Water Decor Store is a small biz on Amazon that specializes in candles.
Promising review: "Love. I have the Spa Day candles in both sizes plus a reed diffuser. The scent is subtle but divine. I like to light multiple candles with common notes by my bedside or in the bathroom, so I prefer scents that aren’t overwhelming. Look, I love massive, three-wick Bath & Body Works candles for parties and large spaces but for my personal space, I prefer something that won’t give me a headache. Plus, these need very minimal help to keep from tunneling (my biggest pet peeve with candles). I’m looking forward to collecting some of the fall scents." —Lolo
Get it from Sweet Water Decor on Amazon Handmade for $19.95 (available in 11 scents).
15. A shiatsu massaging pillow since you can't massage your own back. It's even heated, sure to impress you and make you (and your tense muscles) happy. And it's way wayyy more affordable than a massage chair.
Zyllion is a small biz on Amazon that specializes in massage devices.
Promising review: "Best massage I’ve had in years — and much cheaper than the spa. I had horrible neck pain earlier today and started desperately searching for massagers that I could get ASAP. This one had excellent reviews and was available for shipment the same day. It did NOT disappoint. I’ve only tried it once but WOW. Felt better than some $150 massages I’ve paid for at high-end spas! A keeper, for sure. Currently ordering for two family members (like, for real)." —Chloe83
Get it from Amazon for $49.95.
16. A bottle of nail and cuticle care oil that you apply like a clear coat of polish to keep your nails strong and your cuticles soft. It'll be just like getting a fresh mani at a salon butttt whenever you want at no extra cost.
Promising review: "A manicurist used this product on me at a spa and told me she purchased from Amazon so I purchased it also. I am a cuticle picker/biter so this product is great for me! Keeps my cuticles from becoming dry and cracked which prevents me from picking :)" —Nicole
Get it from Amazon for $7.92+ (available in four sizes).
17. A set of six hot stones to help release all that tension in your neck. Elevate your massage game with these bad boys, just like being at a high-end spa.
Promising reviews: "I bought these stones on a whim and I’m very happy with my purchase. I put them in a bowl and add hot water to heat the stones. The stones heat quickly so I would be careful when apply onto your body. I mainly use on my lower back and shoulders and it really helped to release the tension. I’m going to insert hot stone massages into my self-care routine more. A friend came over and used the stones and is already going to purchase this item too. Note that the stones are heavy, so be careful when you are heating them with hot water or just carrying a bunch of them at once." —jennifer t.
Get a set of six for $22.90.
18. A healing and enhancing body butter that smells freakin incredible, can be used on your hair or body, and will have you fully moisturized. Give your skin the moisture it needs and deserves and lather yourself up, boo. Self care has never smelled so good.
Maya Regí is a Black woman-owned and family-owned small biz that specializes in natural, organic hair and body products.
I have a sample of the pineapple mango creamsicle and omg, baybeeeee, the smell! In-freakin-credible. And it's so soooo moisturizing for winter skin. My skin drinks lotion in the winter and gets super dry soon after I put lotion on, but this stuff kept my skin moisturized all day so duh I'm going back for the full size. I also have the hair growth serum but I haven't been using it long enough *yet* to talk results, but yeah, obsessed with these products. It smells so freakin good and the smell lingers so it doesn't quickly disappear.
Promising review: "Okay so I’m a guy and I don’t usually wear stuff like this, but my brother gave me a sample to see if it would help my eczema. I’ve had problems for years with both my hands and feet cracking and bleeding but this makes my skin feel so moisturized. I highly recommend this product, it smells so good too." —Derek
Get it from Maya Regí for $25.99 (available in two scents).
19. A bottle of TikTok-famous Elizavecca hair treatment — it contains ceramides and collagen that'll give your hair shine and make it smooth in just five minutes! Flawless hair = self-care day done right.
Promising reviews: "Hair is definitely softer than before. I have thick long hair that has been color treated and I could not leave the house without passing the straightener through it. Now, I can let my hair air-dry and it’s smooth and soft as if I blow dried it. I use it once a week, or every two weeks depending on when I schedule spa day because it needs time to rest in your hair (approximately 30 minutes). Definitely a good investment." —AMD

20. A stainless-steel foot file so you can scrape off any dry, cracked skin, leaving you with salon-quality pedicure feet at home. If you've ever wanted to sell feet pics, here's your sign. Freshen those footsies up and give them the self care they deserve especially in this brrrrrrisk weather.
Promising review: "OMG this worked great. I wish I had a before picture but I would be embarrassed to post it online, lol. I get a professional spa pedicure every month. Due to my work schedule I missed a few months. I've purchased the motorized Pedifoot and received minimal results. Each time I get my pedicures I notice the tech using this product. I was tired of peeling the dead skin off of my feet manually, so I purchased this product. I prefer the small grated holes. I took a shower as normal (30 minutes), washed my feet, let the water run down, got out, dried my feet, waited 5–10 minutes, then grated the dead skin off. I did a better job than my $45 spa pedicures and I didn't add anything to my feet to assist the Microplane Colossal Pedicure Rasp. All I had left was dead skin on the towel. When I was done with both feet, I massaged petroleum jelly on my feet. Voila, sexy feet again. I am a 37-year-old surgical professional who stands all day and I'm soooooooo satisfied with the results" —kat rayz
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
21. An exfoliating scrub mitt to scrub-a-dub-dub that dead skin off just like they do at professional Korean spas. It'll seriously look like you shed a layer like a chameleon by the time this thing is done removing any self tanner, old skin, and whatever else could be caked on. Plus, your skin will be soooo smooth. Like, baby butt smooth.
Promising review: "This is an AMAZING product. It leaves your skin smooth and removes SO MUCH DEAD SKIN without leaving a single red mark. I am very pleased and impressed. I went to a Korean spa a few months back and was scraped and scrubbed by this mitt. When I went home, I knew I had to have one because my skin had never felt healthier! It also helps with ingrown hairs and itchiness that occasionally happens after shaving." —Wendy V.
Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (also available in a set of two).
22. A skin spatula with four different modes that'll deep clean those pores and help extract those blackheads, just like the professionals do. If you're a Dr. Pimple Popper lover, you'll love using this to get all your own gunk out your face.
Promising review: "I should have taken a before and after picture! I’ve gotten my face extracted professionally and I always wanted a way to do it at home that gave the same results. Once I thought about it, why not buy a similar tool that gets used on me at the spa? It’s cheap and works for the price! I washed and dried my face off then focused on my two trouble areas — nose and chin. My first swipe across my nose on 'cleaning mode' was very satisfying!!! So much gunk came out! It is definitely not as painful as going to get it done professionally and that was what I was always fearful of when I went to get a proper facial extraction. Doesn’t require a lot of pressure at all and gets the job done. Definitely going to be using it once I notice my congestion in my nose and chin are coming back. I recommend 100%!!!" —Cari
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors).
23. A heated foot massager because you definitely deserve a foot massage after alllll the work you did this week. Best part is, foot massage whenever you want. Every day can be spa day.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this foot massager! I'm a nurse and surely can't get to a spa to get my feet massaged every day, but I don't need to now! For the price of one massage I can now come home every day after work and ease my knotted-up feet. They feel SO MUCH BETTER. If you are on the fence about buying don't be, I assure this is an awesome product!" —Barb
Get it from Amazon for $55.99+ (available in three colors).
24. And a foot bath to soak your feet with heat, bubbles, and vibration. Grab the wine and sit back and relax. You'll hate pulling yourself away and be ready to have another self-care day tomorrow.
Promising review: "This pedi spa was exactly what I expected. I was skeptical of the heating element but the warming feature actually does keep the water warm. I bump the temperature up when the water starts to cool down and it starts getting warmer within seconds. The bubbles and vibration make me feel like I’m at the nail salon getting a pedicure and instantly relax me. I could sit and watch TV with my feet in this pedi spa all day. There is an auto shutoff feature after 60 minutes and yes I’ve hit that!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $62.99+ (available in four colors).
