Promising review:"Oh, I bought this towel warmer based on other reviews. I just had my bathroom remodeled, and it actually fits perfectly right back there, and there is an electrical outlet there. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed getting out of the shower and getting that warm towel! I turn on the warmer and put my towel in while I am getting ready to take my shower. It is so perfect when I get out of the shower. I have been using it for two weeks now, and I have zero complaints. It’s a joy at the end of the shower to be wrapped up in the warmth!!" — Anonymous

Promising reviews:"Love these salts! I have been using Epsom salt for years for my work and discovered these recently. I am obsessed with them! Noticed such a difference, and I really think it helps lower my cortisol levels. Going to start firing these to friends!" — Lauren P.

"These bath salts are a relaxing, special treat for me. I like to mix and match them based on mood and self-care needs. These also make great gifts. I gave one to each of my daughters and my sisters, and they have all commented that their bath experience was such a treat." — Dawn B.

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes.

Promising review: "I was staying over at a friend's house and sitting next to her coffee table. She had this candle on the table and even though it wasn't lit I could smell it, and it was so delicious that I instantly went online to find it and bought it for myself!If this came in a perfume I would buy enough to last the rest of my life. I don't know how to even explain the scent but if you are an amber/patchouli/vanilla fan, this is absolutely for you. The jasmine adds an unbelievable freshness without a flowery scent. I even bought the shampoo and conditioner which I will probably use as more of a body wash and shaving cream but that is how desperate I am to get this scent on me!" — Melissa I. 

Get it from Amazon for $19.95  (available in seven sizes, gift box options, packs of two, and a variety of scents).

4. A rechargeable lighter so you're always ready to set the mood. Imagine how annoying it would be if you wanted to light a candle for your bath and couldn't find a match or lighter anywhere. Even if this lighter is out of juice, a few minutes on the charger and it'll be ready to light things up.

10. A bath pillow  to provide extra comfort when you lean back and ~soak it all in.~

Amazon

Promising review:"This bath pillow is wonderful! I had the blow-up terry pillow and ditched it for this and I am so glad I did. This pillow is extremely comfortable and the best pillow I have ever tried.It looks as though it would attach easily to any tub. My tub is curved and there was no problem with it conforming to my tub. It stays put with no slippage. The suction cups hold very well. If you want to remove it, then I recommend peeling the suction cups away with your fingernail to prevent ripping the pillow. I recommend removing it and placing it on the side of the tub to air-dry to prevent any mold from building up behind it... You will not be disappointed." — Christina

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 .

Nothing beats a long luxurious soak in the tub to relieve the stress of the day and this bath caddy makes it more enjoyable by giving me a safe place to put a glass of wine and my Kindle.

Promising review:"My wife got me this as a Christmas present and I must admit I rolled my eyes when I opened the box. 'That'll never work' I thought to myself. We stuck it on the shower wall that day and have had no issues since. It's still sticking some 60 days later and shows no signs of slipping.It holds beer cans and plastic pint glasses like a boss and for those days when I'm feeling super bourgeois and make a cocktail, but dump it in a Tervis tumbler — it fits too! Shower beers will never be the same again!" — Morgan

Promising review:"The BEST thing I've ever bought myself. The $30 price is high but justified, in my opinion. How I see it is that for something that lasts a whole year, I’m saving money in the long run compared to something like loofahs that I have to replace every few weeks. I have sensitive skin, and the product feels very gentle yet still exfoliates.I don’t quite know how to describe the feeling … it’s kind of massaging. I can definitely see a difference in my skin after using it, especially since my skin tends to get super dry in the winter.This removes all those pesky flakes on my neck and body." — AK

I loved them so much that I bought more for our daughter. My husband even thought they were cool." — Heather Kistler

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+  (available in three styles).

It’s IPX7 waterproof, which means I can use it safely in the shower without any worries . It glides smoothly over my skin and doesn’t tug or irritate sensitive areas like other razors I’ve tried.
