While nobody loves baths as much as I do, and Aussies are certainly more into their showers, I know there are a few dedicated tub fans out there and, perhaps a little selfishly, I’ve pulled together a few gift ideas for them! I’m a big believer in turning your bathroom into a little home sanctuary and that can be achieved with some clever styling and a few luxury products.



Clockwise from top left:

I’m a massive Jo Malone fan and their fragrances aren’t cheap. But if you’d like to give someone a little everyday luxe at an affordable price point, treat them to a soap for $30. My favourite’s Pomegranate Noir. I love using my soap every day and it’s lasting me ages.

I need one of these bath caddies in my life for my book, candle and cuppa while enjoying a soak! This one’s made of cedar which is amazingly resilient. It resists mould and mildew with no need for oiling or staining and it releases a lovely smell when wet. At $79, I think it’s great value.

If you want to impress someone with bath/shower gel that looks amazing left out on the side (perhaps in the cedar bath caddy?) but also smells amazing and does the job, you can’t go past Aesop. Body cleanser from $25 in various fragrances.

It’s always nice to buy something handmade, natural and local and these coconut cream bath salts with pure vanilla and geranium oil via Etsy are bound to smell as good as they sound! 300gm in a muslin bag with a min scoop for $18.

You still have plenty of time to shop online, so what are you waiting for?! If you have a very special bath lover in your life, why not buy them all four?! (If you’re reading, Damian…)
