These handy caddies will help you soak your cares away
The cold, winter months give many of us a new appreciation for baths. So much so, that they become something of a daily self-care routine that sees us soaking in a mountain of bubbles until our fingers turn into prunes.
One of life’s simple pleasures, diving into a warm tub is one of the best ways to relax and unwind but, aside from dimming the lights and pouring in a concoction of delicious smelling suds, there is another way to upgrade your bath time into a truly spa-like experience.
If you’ve submerged into the water one too many times only to realise that you’ve forgotten your scented candle or iPad, it could be time to invest in a bath tray.
Designed to rest over the width of your tub, a bath tray allows you to keep all your favourite things within reach as you soak and, while some are simple wooden boards, others come complete with sections specifically for your self-care essentials, from book rests and wine glass holders to soap or incense dishes.
With so many different bath trays up for grabs, we put a whole range of sizes and styles to the test, scrutinising each one for its ability to take your dip in the tub to your next level. From the material to the number of compartments and price, we also gave extra points for adjustability and personalisation.

For a bath tray that’s affordable and practical we recommend Asda’s bamboo version, which has slots for pretty much everything you need to take a moment out for some much deserved me-time.
If you want something a little more stylish, you can’t go wrong with Bathboards Ltd’s leopard print caddy. We love that it’s handmade by a small business and that you can personalise it to suit you. Plus, it’s got Mrs Hinch’s seal of approval – need we say more?
