The Best Pampering Bath and Beauty Gifts to Give This Holiday Season
Is there anything better than a present that gifts you with a little moment of bliss?
We think not, which is why we love bath goodies, skincare and more for the holidays—whether we're the ones giving or receiving. Just a little bit of self-care can go a long way, and here are some of our favorite soothing beauty gifts for the season.
Kitsch Body Dry Brush: $14
There are few routines we love more than dry brushing before a shower, and with this Kitsch Body Dry Brush from Patet, you can help anyone recreate a luxurious spa-like experience at home. Dry brushing doesn't just exfoliate the skin, but also promotes lymphatic drainage, making skin look healthier while boosting blood flow and making the user feel healthier, too.

Spongellé Morning Bloom Spongette: $12
We love starting out days with a hot shower to get us feeling clean and refreshed in the morning, and the right type of soap makes all the difference. Spongellé's offerings are unlike anything else we've seen, with wonderfully fragranced soaps built right into the center of the spongette to allow anyone to soap up effortlessly with the perfect amount of exfoliation. They have all kinds of lovely scents to choose from, but our favorite has to be Morning Bloom, with eucalyptus and woodsy notes coming together to lift the mind in an instant.
