The 12 Best Hydrating Serums That Moisturize Dry Skin, According to Experts
Wellness accessories like acupressure mats, foot massagers, and Therabody devices are one way to relax. At-home spa essentials are another nice luxury to have on hand this time of year: Bubble baths, luxury candles, and face masks offer a welcome reprieve from a full month of holiday festivities and allow you to relax and recharge. For that very reason, they also make marvelous gifts for wives and girlfriends, as whoever you share them with will have an excuse to spend an hour or two to put their feet up, clear their head, and treat themselves.
Anything related to self-care qualifies as a spa gift: Maybe it’s a rich body cream, a gentle body scrub, bath salts, or an indulgent hand cream. When you’re shopping for a standout spa gift, keep factors like fragrance, texture, and packaging top of mind. Many self care items feature scents like eucalyptus, lavender, and chamomile which are known to help put us in a state of relaxation. Texture varies across different face, bath, and body products; thick and dense options are best for a cozy gift idea.
Ready to relax? We’ve gathered the best spa gifts and gift sets to spread some self love this holiday season.
