"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

While it's been said that some of the best ideas are created in the shower, there's something extra special about a good soak in the tub. Technically all that's needed to prep is some running water and a bar of soap (or body wash), but the best bath gift sets make it a breeze to take any bathing experience to the next level. From de-stressing bubble solutions to tub additions with muscle relief benefits, we're betting these gems will make them want to spend way more than 15 minutes in the tub.

Topping our list are popular bundles from culty brands, like Hatch, Soft Services, and Flamingo Estate, each featuring beloved bath salts, oils, and more soothing essentials to rival any spa—many at a fraction of the price. Plus, if your giftee is partial to a certain kind of scent, luxe soaps and bath bombs might just be the beauty finds they didn't know they needed. Here, we've rounded up the very best bath gift sets to shop now. As Crown Affair founder Dianna Cohen once told Bazaar, "Pro-tip in life? Take more baths."

Editor's note: We recommend placing orders by December 17 to ensure a timely holiday delivery.
