We're not shy about our affection for all things gin-related [1], whether that be a festive tipple [2] or a G&T sorbet [3]. But until now, we hadn't thought of extending that love through to bath time. However, Westlab has done the unthinkable by making pink gin a truly virtuous choice in creating Pink Gin Bath Salts [4] (£4, originally £8).

These aren't the old-fashioned salt cubes your grandma buys either but a bumper 2.2-lb bag of Epsom and Himalayan salts infused with juniper berry, pomegranate, and lime that you throw generously into the bath a few handfuls at a time. Epsom salts are well known for their soothing and relaxing powers and can be used for everything from removing splinters to soothing bug bites [5]. Himalayan salts have similar qualities; adding any kind of salt to a bath can help with fluid balance and reduce swelling and dehydration. That basically means this is the one gin-related product that actually might be useful for reducing a hangover, rather than causing one!

The even better news? Just like your favourite 2-for-1 happy hour, these salts are currently half price. Grab a few bags now to gift to all your gin-loving friends, and don't forget to stash some away for yourself, too.
