Spa days are lovely, but they’re also very expensive. If you’re on the hunt for a scent-sational treat that can give your Valentine a luxurious mini spa experience over and over again, Lavender Body Restore Shower Steamers fit the bill. You get a pack of 15 for just $20, down from $30. (You’re lucky if $20 will cover the tip after a spa service these days!)
Why is it a good deal? 💰
At $20, these steamers are only about $1.33 each, and the price hasn’t dropped much lower than that in the past couple years. Don’t forget to keep a few for yourself for a little R&R — there’s more than enough to go around, especially with this kind of discount.
Why do I need this? 🤔
Bath bombs are wonderful, but sometimes we just don’t have time for a long, leisurely soak. Enter shower steamers: Each disk is made with baking soda and essential oils. Hold one under running water or place it on the shower floor, then breathe deeply as it dissolves and releases a delicate, relaxing scent. There’s no need to fill a tub or wait ages for the steamer to dissolve.
Best of all: It doesn’t leave a mess, because no one needs a gift that they have to clean up after. Each steamer lasts between 10 and 30 minutes — plenty of time even for longer showers. Some reviewers even say the steamers can last longer than one shower if they aren’t in a direct stream of water.

What reviewers say 💬
More than 10,000 reviewers give these steamers five-star ratings.
Pros 👍
“I love these shower steamers!” wrote one satisfied shopper. “They smell heavenly and last through my entire shower and then some. I am so addicted to these that I have them on a subscription. The scent fills my bathroom and then into my bedroom and hallway when I open the door after my shower!”
“These are so relaxing, they smell amazing and really do help calm you down and make you feel like you’re in a spa. I got these as a gift and have purchased them two more times,” said another relaxed reviewer.
A third five-star fan shared, “These shower bombs totally transformed my normal shower routine … I always shower just before bed, and thought I would try these to pamper myself a little! … I also really like that these are individually packaged — I can envision taking one on a weekend trip or even giving one with a friend in a little care package if she seems to need a little pick-me-up, thanks to the portability.”
Cons 👎
While most reviewers raved about these steamers, one customer pointed out, “One downside to these is that they do temporarily color-stain your tub in a round shape from where the fizzer was placed. It’s not horrible, and it can be wiped away, or it’ll wash away after a bit.”
“It has too strong of [an] aroma for relaxation,” a final reviewer noted. “[It] can make a cute gift, nice packaging. I just thought it was too aromatic. It stimulates instead of relaxes.”
And if you want to give your tootsies a little love too, Amazon shoppers love this scrubber:
