If there’s a bath enthusiast on your list—and one who, like me, believes taking one is no fun without some sort of accoutrement–they’ll appreciate these Mark Self Sanctuary All That Fizz Scented Bath Balls ($14 for three, avon.ca).

The Body Wash, Polish and Balm in Joe Fresh Bath‘s Wash & Go with Joe kits ($8, joe.ca) come in fresh and zesty scents–grapefruit, lemon, lime, nectarine, pomegranate or marine–to sluice away the jet fuel, while each 50 ml product’s juicy pop of pink, yellow, green, orange, red or blue is a delightful diversion when […]
