Their soothing sanctuary awaits

There's never a bad time to prioritize wellness and self-care, especially when both are easily accessible in present form. And if your friend or family member is too busy to pencil in a professional appointment, surprising them with one of the best spa gifts is a thoughtful way to help them find their center from the comfort of home.

For the giftee who's into aromatherapy, a luxe scented candle, like Nette's palo santo-scented The Magician, creates a calming environment that appeals to all of their senses. Plus, a quick upgrade of their beauty rotation with a top-rated LED mask, acupuncture mat, or bundle of relaxing skincare staples, will give whole new meaning to the word woosah. And with Mother's Day already around the corner, one of the best spa gifts might be exactly what she didn't know she needed.

Just about anyone can benefit from a little extra rest and relaxation, especially with so many crammed calendars and endless to-do lists. To help soothe your giftee even faster, we've rounded up a few top picks from Susanne Kaufmann, Hill House Home, and more to shop now.

They'll unwrap six sheet masks from SK-II in this luxe set, which feature the brand's Pitera essence—a combination of vitamins, amino acids and minerals—to even skin's tone and texture. After 15 minutes, your friend or family member can toss the mask, and walk away with glowing skin.

Think of this bamboo bath tray as the perfect gift for the booked-and-busy chill-seeker. With designated compartments for a phone, an e-reader, and a glass of wine, this tray makes it possible to multitask mid-soak.

Few things feel as luxurious as slathering on a face cream or body lotion that's chilled-to-perfection. Clocking in at 12 liters, Cooluli's skincare fridge is large enough to accommodate all your serums, moisturizers, and masks so you can give your entire skincare routine a cool touch. Meanwhile, the rounded edges and metallic accents will feel like purposeful addition to any bathroom, not an afterthought.

Let shower time double as chill time with the help of these spa-like, in-shower steamers. Infused with lavender and geranium essential oils, these fizzies will emit a calming aroma as you lather, rinse, and repeat. These steamers smell so good that they'll never want shower time to end.

If baths are their favorite way to unwind, this two-piece oil set from Susanne Kaufmann should be right up their alley. They can alternate between the aromatic pine and and spruce needle oil Mountain Pine Bath to the soothing ylang-ylang-, patchouli-, and lavender-scented Bath for the Senses oils depending on their needs.

Whether they're looking to alleviate tension or unwind after a stressful day, this acupressure mat is a great at-home alternative to Wthn's soothing acupuncture sessions. It's decked out with a bunch of small spikes that gently press into your body to stimulation deep relaxation.

Did a pamper session even happen if you're not wearing a robe? Let your inner circle slip into something more comfortable—literally—with Hill House's Hotel Robe. The pared-back, classic look is pared with a zero twist micro cotton that gets softer after every wash. And as a gifting bonus, it can even be monogrammed with your giftee's initials for an added $15 fee.

Here's the tea: With three varieties to enjoy—Blue Lotus, Shangri-La Rose, and Royal Chrysanthemum—The Qi's single-origin whole flower herbs have been known in the East to bolster your immune system, reduce inflammation, and give a little mid-day pick-me-up. All you need to do is place your tea in water and watch the once-dry flowers loosen up and emit its delicious nutrients. It's a gift that looks good, tastes good, and is good for their body.

You could give a person in your inner circle a facial gift certificate, but they'll get a lot more mileage with NuFace Mini+ Starter Kit. Once the skin is prepped, this device emits small, painless microcurrents to tone and contour the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines.

Good body-care can be self-care, too: This scrub and body butter duo from True Botanicals makes it easy to level up their shower rotation. They can indulge in the brand's Pure Radiance Sugar Scrub to gently buff away dry, patchy flakes with a blend of organic sugar and fine sandalwood powder. After showering, the brand's sunflower seed and seabuckthorn oil body butter will keep their skin supremely hydrated.

Did you know that sound baths are reportedly linked to improved sleep, a better mood, and an increased mind-body connection? For a gift that appeal to all of the senses, use the wooden striker to a chakra-calming, vibrating sensation.

Maybe it's the warm glow or pleasant mix of scents, but there's something about lighting a candle that always changes the vibe of a space. This coconut soy wax version from Nette combines sandalwood, palo santo, and cedarwood heart to encourage tranquility.

A good night's sleep is the gift that keeps on giving, which makes Therabody's intuitive eye mask an excellent self-care surprise. Not only does this pick block out any unwanted light, but it also the brand's SmartSense Technology to use a personalized max of heat, vibration, and massage to lull your special someone to sleep.

A good mask can cleanse congested pores, give an extra boost of hydration, and leave a glowing complexion behind; however, they can also encourage you to pause and just...well, be. Fortunately, Tata Harper's set has four different masks so you can cater to your skin's needs without missing a beat.

Or, if you're willing to splurge on your special someone, consider Dr. Dennis Gross' SpectraLite mask. Here, a duo of blue and red lights work in tandem to increase collagen production and kill acne-causing bacteria. While this mask is on their pricier side, it's rechargeable and reusable so that cost-per-use will go down quickly.

Part of singer Alicia Keys's ethos for Keys Soulcare is exploring the connection between skincare and the soul—so it's only fitting that this starter set—featuring the brand's cleanser, exfoliator, mask, and facial cream—doubles as an excellent self-care present. Plus, each item even nicely includes its own affirmation.

No pamper-packed round-up is complete without a massage. But why go to a spa (or pester your partner for a back rub) when there's Nekteck's Shiatsu's massager? All they need to do is wear it like they'd wear a shawl and they'll feel a strong-yet-soothing kneading along the back and shoulders.

Here's a set featuring Tenoverten's expert-approved rose oil, nail tools, and a barely-there nude polish color, made in collaboration with artist Jamie Beck. The travel-ready kit makes it easy to recreate a luxurious manicure from just about anywhere, with product offerings that are free of sulfates, silicones, phthalates, and parabens.

If you want to give the gift of a head-to-toe glow, you cannot forget about the scalp. Briogeo has you covered with a scalp-soothing set packed with scrubs, masks, and oils all designed to provide a nourished, flake-free head. The ultimate finishing touch? It also comes a scalp massager to increase circulation and offer an instant ahh.

Not only does a facial steamer feel amazing—like going into a steam room without leaving the comfort of home—but it also opens pores and helps their skincare products be more effective. And at under $100, it's a gift for your budget, too.
