These thoughtful kits and essentials make it easy to create a luxe spa day at home

Many of the best ideas are developed in the shower, but the best bath gifts make a case for taking long, soothing dips in the tub instead. From de-stressing bubbles to revitalizing muscle relief soaks, these cleansing favorites will prompt your friends and family members to make self-care a regular occurrence.

Included in our list below are popular sets and bundles worth gifting, like Flamingo Estate's Bathhouse Edit, Naturopathica's Sweet Relief Set, and more, with spa-level salts, oils, and post-bath moisturizers anyone can appreciate. And if your giftee is partial to a specific scent, luxe soaps, and body exfoliators from Spongellé and D.S. and Durga x Soft Services might be the body care essentials they never knew they needed.

After sifting through hundreds of beauty shopper reviews and considering our own favorites, we've rounded up the best bath gift sets your loved ones will be thrilled to unwrap. As Crown Affair founder Dianna Cohen once told Bazaar, "Pro-tip in life? Take more baths."

After drawing themselves a warm bath, your friend or family member can toss in a couple of these solid bath oil pebbles from Kate McLeod to help them decompress while locking in skin moisture. Plus, they can use the cocoa butter and baobab oil pebbles post-shower to keep the hydration going.

Although this body care duo is optimized for the shower, it works just as well in the bathtub. Your giftee can start with Oak Essentials' Awaken Body Wash for a gentle cleanse and buff away roughness using the Perfecting Body Scrub on wet skin.

Anyone who deals with tense muscles after a tough workout, or just hunching over their laptop all day will get plenty of use out of this duo from Naturopathica. It contains a jar of sweet birch (known as nature's aspirin) and magnesium bath flakes, along with an alpine arnica and magnesium gel for anti-inflammatory pain relief.

They'll get two gifts in one with this top-rated loofah soap set that features rose, charcoal bamboo, and green tea cucumber scents. Each baked in loofah is naturally-derived from dried gourds, and encased in soaps containing a blend of coconut oil and vegetable glycerin for supreme skin hydration.

Here's a set to help them unwind during and after their baths. Your friend can upgrade their dip with Osea's Vagus Nerve bath oil, keep skin hydrated and supple with the brand's body oil afterward, and eventually drift off into a pleasant night's sleep with the help of their calming chamomile, lavender, and juniper pillow mist.

The instructions for Esker's Restorative Bath Kit are simple: after lighting its corresponding candle and setting an intention, add a few pumps of its body wash to running water and let your spa day commence. And to finish off their dip, applying Esker's Body Oil treatment makes it simple to squeeze in a self-care massage.

No need to include a bottle of body wash with this pack of exfoliating sponges, it's already built-in. Each of these body buffers from Spongellé is infused with a different floral fragrance—from Bulgarian rose to beach grass—to keep them feeling fresh while enhancing hydration. Plus, since they get up to 14 washes per sponge, they're the gift that keeps on giving.

This soothing bath soak was created by the experts at Tenoverten in partnership with American Ballet Theater principal dancer, Isabella Boylston. It nicely combines Epsom salt and arnica extract to soothe tired muscles while hydrating and rejuvenating the skin.

Here's an eco-friendly beauty edit featuring Flamingo Estate's biodegradable Body Wash, Lotion, Shampoo, and Conditioner to keep their skin and hair clean and nourished. The bundle will also nicely provide your giftee with a sensorial boost as they use it, since each item contains an essential oil blend of clary sage, eucalyptus, rosemary, and lavender.

The person who practically lives in the tub and counts D.S. and Durga's Debaser scent as one of their favorites will be thrilled to receive this set. Along with the brand's bestselling eau de parfum, your giftee will also unbox two of Soft Services's limited-edition exfoliating Molasses soaps.

Here's a pimento berry, rose, white pepper, and moss-scented jar of salts to instantly elevate any bath experience. Just add the glow a few candles and some soft smooth jazz.

This towel and cold-pressed soap set make it easy for your family member to branch out from their go-to bar. It contains two cleaning options—one for the body and another for the face or body—to elevate their bath experience over the next few months.

Treat them to an elevated bath experience with this woody and fresh body cleansing gel. Its fragrant notes of black lemon, black tea, and guaiac wood will mentally transport them to the French countryside.

Every great bath experience requires a sturdy and ultra-fluffy towel, like this set of four from the experts at Brooklinen. They'll receive two Turkish cotton bath and hand towels to use over and over for ultimate hotel vibes after a dip.

Depending on their preference, you can choose between three scent options for Maude's Tub Kit, including the amber- and cedar leaf-scented No. 1, pink pepper- and gurjun balsam-noted No. 2, or eucalyptus- and sandalwood-based No. 3. Whichever option you choose, each features bath salts and jar of coconut milk bath.

This minimal trio from Celine may be one of the most stylish sets of bar soaps they'll receive all year—and also one of the most versatile. If your giftee wants to make its palo santo-, orris-, and tree moss-noted fragrance last longer, a dry soap placed in a drawer or cupboard can also be used to scent their linens and clothes.

Whether they decide to take a bath or a shower, this 10-piece oil collection from Aromatherapy Associates—which includes essentials for deep relaxation and de-stressing—will give them plenty of sensory options to choose from.

Here's a bath gel and body lotion duo featuring a blend of essential oils like red mandarin, bitter orange and grapefruit that aims to leave your family member feeling more energized after their cleansing routine. Cowshed's formulas are also paraben- and silicone-free, just in case they have sensitive skin.

They can alternate between Susanne Kaufmann's aromatic and stress-relieving Mountain Pine Bath and soothing ylang-ylang, patchouli-scented Bath for the Senses oils with this travel-friendly gift set. And as a visual bonus, both soaks nicely contain dried rosemary and pine sprigs.

Here's a full-size black hemp and patchouli-scented bath duo from Elemis to quickly upgrade anyone's in-shower experience. The tub and shower staples aim to soften dry, dull skin as it's cleansed and conditioned.
