10 great Christmas gift ideas for Hot Tub lovers
Are you stuck for Christmas gift ideas for that special hot tub lover in your life? Or maybe you are the lucky one with a hot tub in the garden and are thinking of giving your loved ones some subtle hints for Christmas gift ideas for your hot tub this year? If either is the case then this article is for you! We have rounded up the 10 best Christmas gift ideas for hot tub lovers, hot tub owners and those who love a hot tub owner😊
1. Aromatherapy crystals
It is a truth universally acknowledged that you cannot go wrong with chocolates and smellies when it comes to Christmas gift ideas. And while chocolates might be less suitable as a hot gift, hydrotherapy scents and fragrances most certainly are the perfect Christmas gift idea for hot tub lovers. There is a range of products on the market such as aromatheraphy crystals to ease aches and pains, soothing fragrances to aid sleep or invigorate the senses or even wellness fragrances that moisturise the skin. Their lovely colours and smells make for a beautifully sensual gift and their size make them the perfect stocking filler – which is a definite bonus in our book!
Prices range from £12 – 30

2. Floating Hot Tub Bar
Another brilliant Christmas gift idea for hot tub owners is a floating spa bar. Who doesn’t like to enjoy a drink or two whilst soaking in their hot tub – after all it is all about staying hydrated whilst relaxing those sore muscles! However, having to climb out of the hot tub to top up your drink does take the shine off things a little and most of us don’t have a butler at the ready to do the honours for us, so while we are all still waiting for that lottery win a floating spa bar is the perfect solution. The budget option is an inflatable drinks holder with space for 4 glasses as well as some snack bowls or bottles. The premium gift option is a fully insulated drinks tray made of light weight foam insulation. This clever floating hot tub bar has space for eight drinks as well as an ice bucket or bowl in the middle of the tray and offers excellent stability and insulation – after all we all like our hot tubs hot but our champagne chilled.
Prices range from £ 20 – £60

3. Shatterproof drinkware
While we are onto the topic of Christmas drinks in the hot tub it seems like a good time to advise against the use of breakable glasses or flutes as these could not only cause injury to yourself and your loved ones in the hot tub but could also cause considerable damage to the hot tub itself if shards got into the jets, filtration and plumbing system. For this reason some fancy shatterproof drinkware makes it into our top ten Christmas gift ideas for hot tub lovers. There is a range of options available on the market to suit a range of budgets and tastes, from crystal look acrylics to multicoloured drinkware. Whatever your preference might be it is worth taking the stability and balance of the individual glass into consideration. Whilst champagne flutes look gorgeous and instantly create a sense of occasion they are also more prone to being knocked over than a tumbler or stemless wine glass with a lower centre of gravity such as Lakeland’s Crystal Look Tumbler
4. Grit Gitter
We realise that anything to do with the actual upkeep and maintenance of a hot tub may not seem like the most exciting Christmas gift. It’s a bit like gifting an ironing board or a toilet brush, reminding us of the less pleasant tasks that await once the Christmas fairy dust has settled. The Grit Gitter however, is just the right amount of quirky to be both useful as well as fun which is why it has earned its place on our list of best Christmas gift ideas for hot tub lovers.
The clever little device is a hand held mini vac that hoovers up any sand or debris that has got into the hot tub water and sunk to the bottom of the spa where it is irritating your posterior. Its compact size makes it ideal for use whilst you are enjoying your dip and also makes it perfect stocking filler material whilst its quirky usefulness make it a great Christmas gift idea for any gadget loving person in your life – and don’t we all know at least one person who just LOVES a gadget?

5. Booster Seat
Why not bring tidings of comfort and joy with a Booster Seat for your hot tub? These useful little cushions elevate the seating by approximately 3-5 inches to offer additional height and comfort for children or those of us that are a bit shorter. They can also be used as back support or to elevate hips and legs for gentle exercise in the spa.
Price £25
Available in blue and pearl

6. Hot tub Steps
Adding a step to your hot tub set up does not only make entering and exiting the spa so much easier (and more elegant! – Nobody looks good whilst clambering over the side of a hot tub!) but can also add an attractive feature that is showing off your spa. The Newport Stepper is an excellent example of a hot tub step that does not only get you in and out of the tub but also frames your spa beautifully whilst offering shelving for towels, drinks and all those other essentials you are trying to keep close by.
Price £990
Currently on offer at £690

7. Garden Lights
Speaking of setting the scene for your spa, garden lighting is a great way of adding that wow factor to your garden plus it really helps if you can see what you are doing whilst climbing in and out of your hot tub or walking through your garden at night, so garden lights make it onto our list of hot tub gift ideas. There is a vast range of options from solar powered, LED, string lights or uplights to suit any hot tubs oasis.
8. Hot Tub Service Package
You might think that getting a hot tub service package is an odd choice for a gift but we think that it doesn’t get much better than getting somebody else to do a chore for you, freeing up your precious time and giving your beloved hot tub the royal treatment at the same time! You could craft a voucher and gift your own time if you have the skills and inclination, or you could book a professional hot tub engineer to do the work for you. Either way that special hot tub owner in your life will be delighted to have things taken care of and being able to put their feet up this time round.
Our service packages start from £159

9. Towels and Bathrobes
It goes without saying that towels and bathrobes come in handy when using a hot tub so why not treat yourself or your loved one to some new fluffy robes or a personalised towel? Bear in mind that there is a good chance the towel might end up on the muddy ground at some point so avoid light colours that show the dirt or choose a product that can be washed at a high temperature which might rule out anything with personalised embroidery.
10. Slippers or Flip Flops
It’s the hot tub twist on a Christmas gift classic! Slippers or flip flops are easy to slip on and off, keep your feet warm(ish) when you are making a dash for the tub and most importantly they keep any dirt off your toes so if you accidentally step into something unpleasant on your way down the garden you are not going to bring it into the hot tub on the soles of your feet. They literally come in all colours and sizes making them a great Christmas gift idea for hot tub fans – in fact, we think they are such a great idea that we will include a free pair of Softub hot tub slippers with every gift order placed before Christmas!
