Bath trays are the accessory you didn't know your evening wind-down needed and, yet, now that we've brought it to your attention, it's also the one you simply have to have.

Our definition of self-care has taken a whole new meaning after two years pretty much stuck inside. Instead of it being something we do occasionally to cheer ourselves up or give ourselves a bit of (rare) me-time, it's now a very necessary part of our daily routine. Especially with hybrid working and all the more spare time to reflect on what's actually important in life, we've come to the conclusion that it's us – we are the thing we should concentrate most on. 

And while it'd be incorrect to narrow self-care down to just getting a manicure, doing a face mask and binge-watching the Real Housewives of wherever for the 10th time in a row, they certainly help.

Although they're clichéd self-care pastimes, they genuinely improve our wellbeing. For me, an indecently long bath – which ends only when my fingers have turned into prunes – is one of the best ways to switch off at the end of the day. It's become something of a daily routine and I know I'm not alone in that. Slowing down and enjoying life's simple pleasures has taken top priority for a lot of us and, instead of the usual hurried five-minute showers, those who shunned the thought of a bath have now been converted. With things like luxury bath oils, super soft bath towels, bath gift sets and candles existing, who can blame them for wanting to unwind and soak while reading their book? Sounds like heaven. The only thing you may be missing to take your dip in the tub to the next level? A stylish bath tray.

I'm a total bath obsessive and these are the bath gift sets I highly recommend for the ultimate relaxing soak
