Mid point priced bath stuff for men?

I'm looking for a nice bath soak for adult DS who likes a bath from time to time - we have plenty shower gels but I'm struggling for ideas for him so thought that a bath soak might be appreciated.

Not high end prices but a bit nicer than Radox if that makes sense? Most bath stuff seems to be aimed at women.

Any suggestions?

Aesop can be nice and some of the scents are fairly neutral, not too girly? Or Arran?

White company noir is nice too!

I bought a Ted Baker bath set with weekend bag for DH from Boots. It was £25

Thank you folks, I'll take a look at those. We don't really have many shops so I end up having to order on-line so it's nice to get a recommendation. He doesn't really wear aftershave or fragrance generally so I have nothing to base from.

Space NK do a Nordic Wild bubble bath, that is nice. Although not that bubbly. Neals Yard also probably have something suitable. My husband enjoys a soak in a bath, he likes to use Epsom Salts. Not mid price point, as it’s as cheap as chips, but if you have a B&M or Home Bargains near you, lots of nice seasonal fragrance ones.

Good idea on the epsom salts. Can obvs combine plain ones with a nice fragrance too.

I'm not a bath person so don't see the appeal but I did contemplate getting rid of the bath completely but he still uses it. I don't even know how he fits in it as he's 6'4 and it's just a normal bath (albeit it has a wider square space at the plug end for showering). 😂

Rituals do bubble bath that doesn't look feminine. My DH likes Ritual of Jing.

I second rituals ritual of jing. Lovely looking bottle.

BigBoysDontCry · 28/11/2024 19:49

Oh thanks again. I'm sure I had a rituals spray foam shower thing at one point (in an M&S gift pack) and it was lovely.

I'll definitely be able to find something suitable now :)

I'm also now shopping for my other DSs girlfriend who has given me coloured tights or a book sleeve as ideas, Thinking also some nice coloured leather gloves.

It's nice shopping for a young woman too since I have two boys :)

My DH is a big fan of Kneipp bath salts. They have a huge range.

Oh and DS is very much into Japanese type culture (he's autistic and that seems to be a thing?) so the Rituals stuff packaging looks like something he might like (and nothing to do with the fact that it matches the bathroom...😁)

Definitely lots of ideas though so I might pick up a few options. At the moment he really only has a couple of bottles of Japanese Gin in his gifts.

How about some Japanese bath salts? Lots available on amazon for more of an onsen vibe?

Badeds is lovely and not too ££ most supermarkets and Superdrug/ boots sell it.
