12 Cost-Effective Self-Care Products to Give to Everyone on Your Holiday Shopping List

Give your loved ones a spa experience with luxe bath products—minus the luxe price tag. Our favorites come from Kneipp®, an accessible wellness brand that sources their naturally occurring mineral salts from one of the oldest salt deposits in Europe. (Not like Epsom salts, which are made in a lab and require more product to get the same effect.) The Pampering Mineral Bath Salt Soak Gift Set combines four of their best-selling salts to help relax, refresh, ease sore muscles and support better sleep, including relaxing lavender and refreshing eucalyptus scents. Pair it with their Bathe in Happiness Herbal Bath Oil Gift Set to give your friends and family an even more potent aromatherapy experience. These travel-ready bottles contain six different amazing-smelling essential oils in a highly concentrated formula, sans any parabens, phthalates or silicones. You can shop them at Ulta Beauty and get free shipping over $35.
