Holiday-Scented Self-Care Products

If My Self-Care Routine Doesn't Smell Like the Holidays, I Don't Want It

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Cookie-decorating parties, gift-wrapping gatherings, and dinner dates at holiday-themed restaurants usually fill my December calendar — but not this year. Instead, I'm making the best of my party for one with festive self-care products. My only rule: if it doesn't smell like the holidays and make me as happy as I am on Christmas morning, I don't want it.

If you Zoom me, don't be surprised when I pick up from the tub, wine in hand, with Mariah Carey Christmas music on loop. You won't be able to smell through the screen, but you can bet cedar-, gingerbread-, or peppermint-scented candles, body lotion, and bath bombs are the reason my smile is so wide.

Lather's Evergreen Fir Bath Bombs

When I drop Lather's Evergreen Fir Bath Bombs ($20) in my tub and close my eyes, I'm no longer in Brooklyn — I'm in a hot tub at an Airbnb set deep in the woods of upstate New York.
