Soak away your stress.

After a long day in frigid weather, sometimes there’s nothing more relaxing than settling into a hot bath. But where is your bath salt? Or your scented candle? Enter, bath gifts sets, which are basically relaxation collections that contain everything you need to make a tiny apartment bathroom feel like a five-star spa. Whether you’re a fan of hydrating body oils, exfoliating body scrubs, or you just need a fancy scented candle to make the experience feel luxurious, there is a bath set for your needs.

While these sets might feel highly indulgent, they also make for wonderful presents if you’re on the hunt for something to gift your best friend, co-worker, or sister. Here, find the 22 best bath gift sets to turn an ordinary shower into a zen zone.

Herbivore Botanicals not only looks pretty for a gram-worthy bath, but it’s also a lavish self-care ritual. The scrub exfoliates, the polish hydrates, and the salts nourish with a calming relaxation energy you'll begin to crave.

Herbivore rating: 4.9/5 stars

An Herbivore reviewer says: “A cute little set of products. I enjoyed the bath salts and soak, but my favorite is the scrub! Makes a great gift!”

The soak bath salts and coconut milk bath are made for a relaxing, romantic self-care solo sesh or with a partner. The hand-harvested blends infuse water with nourishing vitamins and minerals to soothe, hydrate, and nourish the mind and body.

Maude rating: 4.8/5 stars

A Maude reviewer says: “This kit is wonderful to enhance the experience of having spa at-home treatments. I regularly soak in a hot tub, I love the benefits as pain relief, muscle relaxation, and improved sleep that I get from it. My favorite of the two products in this set is the soak bath salts. The combination of amber, cedar leaf, lemongrass, tonka bean, and medjool date makes a beautiful scent. Both the salt and milk bath are easy to dissolve and they leave the skin very soft and moisturized.”

Glossier might just be the internet’s favorite skin line, and it’s not just the millennial pink that sold us years ago upon launch. The products please everyone—just read the reviews. The cream brings long-lasting moisture with tiny pink particles for a constant glow, while the oil wash is a frothy soak. You also get an exfoliating soap bar, rich with antioxidants, and the dry oil mist for moisture in a flash. The result is baby-soft skin in an addicting neroli scent.

Glossier rating: 4.3/5 stars

A Glossier reviewer says: “I already have been using the lotion, body wash, and scrub and love them all! The lotion is rich, the scrub is a great exfoliator, and the wash is lovely. This is my first time purchasing the dry oil and I love it! It feels and smells fantastic, absorbs really well, and I even use a tiny bit in my hair which gives a beautiful shine to it. Very happy.”

Beekman 1802 is a big believer in the power of goat milk, which is why every product in this set uses this genius ingredient. Soothing, gentle, and always safe for sensitive skin, drink in the hydration and protection.

Ulta rating: 4.9/5 stars

An Ulta reviewer says: “Great products! The creams and soaps are silky smooth and make my dry skin feel so much better! The goat milk products will be my go-to from now on.”

These butters are a miracle cure for so many ailments. Dry skin? Check. Cracked cuticles? Check. This beautiful tin houses all the brand’s iconic butter scents, from Moroccan Mint to Ethiopian Honey.

Sephora rating: 4.2/5 stars

A Sephora reviewer says: “I think I finally found a product to combat winter dryness! Yes, it’s hard to get the first dab out of the tube, but it’s easy after that. It absorbs well and I wake up with my hands still feeling soft and moisturized.”

Shaving doesn’t have to be a pain anymore. This set comes with a shaving cream, razor, moisturizer, and after-shave serum–all housed in a stunning fluffy cosmetic bag.

Ulta rating: 4.3/5 stars

An Ulta reviewer says: “The razor is so cute and it has some weight to it, which I personally love. I impulsively bought this set while shopping one day and I’m so glad I did. The shaving cream feels so soft when putting it on the skin. The lotion also feels so good, I’ve never had a lotion make my skin feels so good and healthy.”

Blueland is changing the game when it comes to waste-free self-care. Not only are the body and face cleansing products hypoallergenic, clean, and effective, they are good for the planet. Buy your bottles once and refill them forever with refill powder packs.

Blueland rating: 4.6/5 stars

A Blueland reviewer says: “This duo is fantastic. The face wash leaves my skin clean and fresh. My skin is smooth and not irritated. This is one of the best cleansers I’ve ever had. The body wash leaves my skin clean and moisturized. I have very dry skin and love the fact I don’t feel itchy after showering. I love the refill option–easy to do and lower carbon footprint. Great quality overall.”

A true at-home spa experience is nothing without a soft and cozy robe to throw on after the shower. It’s luscious and warm, while the silk eye mask feels like cooling butter on the skin for that post-bath nap.

Brooklinen rating: 4.4/5 stars

A Brooklinen reviewer says: “I bought this robe for myself for Christmas. It is so luxurious and just wraps you in warmth! It is made very well and is definitely worth the price. I can tell that this robe will last for many years.”

Farmhouse Fresh gets hundreds of five-star reviews on tons of their products and this bath gift set lives up to that hype. It’s full of decadent scents in a body cream, wash, lip balm, and confectionery candle—turning your get-ready routine into a sweet treat. And more importantly, all the products are rich in vitamins and oils for long-lasting luxury hydration.

Farmhouse rating: 5/5 stars

A Farmhouse reviewer says: “The Big Whoop Holiday addition is fantastic! My daughter-in-law loved the extra pampering! Farmhouse Fresh is a brand which I love and can trust. My skin always feels and smells amazing! Most importantly the ingredients are natural. I like their approach to skincare.”

Envelop your body in the warmth of vanilla with a curated set that did all the hard work for you so you can relax. You can lather with the shower gel or slip into a warm bath with the bubble bath gel—both in travel sizes for on-the-go pampering. The set also features hand cream, a bar soap, body butter, and a reusable drawstring to keep your goodies stored safely.

Amazon rating: 4.6/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I bought this gift set for my sister’s wedding to take with her on her honeymoon. It came beautifully wrapped in a very nicely purple box so no need to gift wrap it. It has a complete set of skincare products for the bath, including two bottles of shower gel and bubble bath, a bar soap, a hand cream and a body lotion. It smells amazing. It also comes with a reusable bag to put all the products in. Would highly recommend.”

Almost everyone thinks of Dr. Teal's eucalyptus Epsom salt when they’re looking to relax. This set allows you to soak your troubles away in a eucalyptus bath, and when you're done, moisturize your skin in the body oil or lotion to strengthen the heavenly aroma.

Walmart rating: 4.6/5 stars

A Walmart reviewer says: “This is the perfect way to pamper yourself! I was looking for a way to relax and unwind after a long day at work, and this set did just the trick. The eucalyptus and spearmint scents are uplifting and help to revive my senses. I love how easy it is to create an at-home spa experience with this set!”

Rest assured Buttah’s Egyptian CocoShea Body Wash isn’t the kind of body wash that strips your skin. The nourishing wash smells addicting and leaves your skin soft to the touch. The shea butter—while not as scented as the wash or the bar soap—soothes any dry patches on the skin and reveals a beautiful sheen.

Ulta rating: 4.6/5 stars

An Ulta reviewer says: “I’m in love with the smell. I am very into feeling and smelling like I was at the beach. My skin feels great. The shower cream is the best. The pure organic shea butter takes a little time to get used to. However, once it’s on, your skin glows and is so smooth.”

If you’ve ever smelled Philosophy’s Amazing Grace eau de parfum, the creamy, soft floral scent can brighten up any dreary day. Now, you too can brighten up your day with the accompanying shower gel (which also doubles as shampoo!) and the body cream.

Amazon rating: 4.8/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “The Philosophy Amazing Grace body cream has a long-lasting scent that lingers. And, it keeps my skin smooth and silky. My favorite scent that I have worn for decades!”

If I’m going to trust anyone’s secret formula to radiant, soft skin, it’s going to be one from a world-renowned supermodel, of course. Miranda Kerr’s curated kit of body essentials comes with a body scrub to slough away dead skin, body wash to replenish the skin, and body lotion to hydrate and nourish the skin.

Kora rating: 5/5 stars

A Kora reviewer says: “Kora Organics is one of the best lines of self-care products on the market. The quality is exceptional. This set is no exception. Each product is luxurious and promotes not only lovely skin but a wonderful sensuous experience. The scents are soft and very soothing. I am especially pleased with the turmeric scrub. Everything about it makes it well worth the price. I will be re-purchasing this set on a regular basis.”

With almond milk and honey as the star ingredients, not only are you left smelling as delicious as a cookie, but as soft as one, too.

Amazon rating: 4.6/5 stars

An Amazon reviewer says: “I bought this for my trip to the hospital for my surgery because I was going to be there for a week. This stuff is amazing and works wonders. I highly recommend!”

The vacation is booked, all you need now is to slug off any dullness left from the winter. This set includes an exfoliating pineapple-scented scrub and a coconut-scented hydrating body butter to get your legs gleaming for the summer.

Ulta rating: 5/5 stars

An Ulta reviewer says: “These scents both smell so good!”

Your introduction to Lush was likely through its cult-favorite bath bombs. Here’s a set that reels you into the world of Lush a bit further, featuring bath bombs, a scrub, a shower gel, and body moisturizers.

Lush rating: 4.6/5 stars

A Lush reviewer says: “Every item is great. The scents are amazing. Rose jam is my favorite scent. Bubblebar make lots of bubbles. Dream Cream is great for dry skin. And I love getting the Gorgeous face moisturizer. I buy this every year. It’s my favorite gift set.”

Caring for your body looks like massaging the Osea Body Oil all over your body after a warm shower. This trio features the best-selling body oil, plus a body scrub and dry brush so your skin is dolphin smooth.

Osea rating: 4.9/5 stars

An Osea reviewer says: “I love this trio of products very much. The brush feels so good and invigorating, and the scrub is heavenly; it makes my skin so soft and the scent is delicious.”

Add a few drops of these oils to your bath and you’ll be transported to a whole new world. You can relax with the lavender scent, soothe aching muscles with the herbal option, or even brighten up your day with the citrus blend. The options are endless.

Ulta rating: 4.9/5 stars

An Ulta reviewer says: “Super fun way to try some of the Kneipp scents and discover which ones you like, or a great gift! It was fun to use. Even though I like the more classic scents, some others have cool things about them. I could definitely feel the difference on my skin with the argan oil one, and I could swear the hops almost put me to sleep during the bath itself!”

Allow this full set of bath goods to take you on a sensory exploration. The bundle includes a milk bath, body scrub, and body oil, but the best part is the palo santo votive candle to engage your senses even more.

Ulta rating: 4.6/5 stars

An Ulta reviewer says: “This set is such a wonderful addition to my nighttime ritual. The Milk Bath makes the bath water softer and moisturizing. I typically do not burn scented candles but the candle included in the set is such a soft, enjoyable fragrance that I will purchase a new one when this one is done. The brush that is included is perfect for dry brushing and the body polish and the bath oil are so enjoyable. The fragrance of all the products is subtle and not overwhelming like some products. I highly recommend this set.”
