The 28 Best Spa Gifts to Give in 2023 – House Beautiful

“On days I’m feeling particularly swollen, I roll this frozen contraption around my face in upward and outward motions. Not only does it feel so good, but it really helps with lymphatic drainage,” Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner says.

“This, on the other hand, is something I use pretty much every day. I strap it around my head immediately after waking up and leave it on for about 15 minutes,” Cherner says. “It stimulates nerves to exercise facial tissues and muscles, tightens skin, and minimizes large pores. In fact, it’s so good that I cut out three of my serums and two of my creams because this mask took care of it all.” (Goodbye 11-step beauty routine.)

“I got these on Amazon Prime Day and use them about once a week,” Cherner says. “They feel so luxurious and because they’re packed with hyaluronic acid, they leave the delicate skin around my eyes feeling really soft and hydrated.” Most eye patch sets include only a few pairs, but this one has 30.

Anyone who’s had the luxury of smelling Le Labo’s most beloved scent knows how delicious it is. Now, it’s finally available in candle form.

Keeping your nails looking and feeling clean is perhaps the easiest way to fake a manicure. No need to slather on any polish because a perfectly shaped nail is more than enough.

“I have this (it’s monogrammed with my initials) and it’s so cozy. It’s a bit oversized, which makes it feel like a classic spa robe,” Cherner says. If you really want to lean in, get the robe in white.

“I bought this shower head after reading reviews about how it filters out chlorine and other harmful irritants because I thought this could help with my eczema,” Senior Commerce Editor Marina Liao says. “Although I’m not quite seeing results there yet (it’s only been a few weeks), I am in love with the even water pressure this head distributes. The force is gentle yet strong, giving my scalp and body a massage-like sensation every time I shower.”

“I’m running my Hey Dewy right now as I write this, so suffice it to say: I love this product. I own two of them, in the minty green and pink colorways,” Liao explains. “The Hey Dewy is also very quiet when it’s running, so you won’t have trouble falling asleep to it. In fact, I always feel at peace when this is ‘humming’ on my nightstand or desk.” Trust us; this is one of the best humidifiers on the market.

Nothing is more annoying than getting water and product in your hair when you’re prepping to go out or go to bed. This fluffy headband keeps all of your makeup and creams out of your strands and because it’s machine washable, feel free to get it a little stained.

“I bought this after smelling it at a historic hotel outside Charleston,” Cherner says. “It smells absolutely divine and even though it’s small, the scent—orange blossom and lotus—definitely travels.”

Silk pillowcases are the ultimate spa-like luxury. The material doesn’t just feel like a step above from cotton; it actually is because it’s less abrasive on both your skin and hair.

If you’re not entirely sure what to get for your spa-loving friend, you can’t go wrong with a gift set. This one includes a robe made of repurposed saris, a blooming tea, geode tea light candle, and a bath balm.

“I am a big believer in healing crystals. If you’re new to the game, this beginner set is a good place to start,” Cherner explains. It includes seven crystals, all of which are said to balance energy levels and welcome positivity, love, productivity, and more. Plus, they’re so pretty to look at.

A bath caddy is a must for anyone who feels most at ease in a bubbly tub. There’s a stand to rest your favorite page-turner (or iPad) and plenty of space for candles, wine, and even a flower vase.

One thing spas have in spades is a set of super-soft towels. “I’ve tested a lot of towels over the years, and this one from Brooklinen is one of my favorites that I keep coming back to. They’re plush, so soft, and absorbent,” Cherner says. This set includes two bath towels and two hand towels, both of which are necessary for any spa-like bathroom.

Here’s another gift set that includes everything you could possibly need to create a spa at home. It includes liquid soap, lotion, bar soap, bath salts, a bath bomb, and a bubble elixir. Plus, the packaging is so beautiful that you’ll want to leave it on display at all times.

“I buy these for myself every year because they’re unbelievably comfortable. I love them so much that they’re always the first thing I put in my carry-on when I’m packing for a trip,” Cherner admits. Did we mention that they come in seven colors?

“I just bought this because the skin under my eyes always gets so dry when the weather cools down. It is so creamy and absorbent. Full disclosure: it leaves a slightly glossy finish right after you tap it onto your skin, but it fades after about an hour,” Cherner says.

If you could buy only one product for your at-home facial, it should be a steamer, which clears pores of excess oil and microscopic debris, and makes your products easier to absorb.

The unique shape of this facial sculptor makes anti-aging face massages significantly more effective because it releases muscle tension, contours your face, and improves your complexion. Just make sure you use it regularly to see the benefits.
