Christmas and bathrooms are not commonly associated with each other. When it comes to Christmas shopping, our minds naturally think of products like perfumes, clothes, and games. However, sometimes the more practical gifts are the ones that turn out to be the most appreciated. Bathroom-related gifts are absolutely perfect for those that are either moving into a new home or renovating their bathroom. Factoring in style preferences, budget, and space, we've picked an array of products certain to go down well with your loved ones.
Mirrors
Mirrors are no longer only used for vanity, they have evolved to include luxury features that are designed to make using a bathroom much easier, e.g. LED backlit mirrors. LED lights found on selected bathroom mirrors create less glare than standard lighting. This will assist the user in activities such as applying makeup or shaving which would otherwise be a hassle with the overhead light they are putting up with whilst completing their bathroom. LED lights are also beneficial as they provide excellent illumination whilst reducing energy consumption.

Bathroom heating
Purchasing a heated towel rail may be a long way down on the list of things to get during a renovation. However, the person you’re buying for will probably regret not investing in one especially when winter hits. Not only are towel rails a more practical solution than standard radiators in terms of size but they also make a stylish addition to any bathroom. Bear in mind, towel rails tend to be the preferred option in contemporary bathroom but can be used in traditional suites too.
Make sure that the person you are buying for has plenty of free wall space for a towel rail. But, even if space is sparse, many towel rails are designed to take up very little space. Regardless of size, heated towel rails will provide enough heat to warm the bathroom and will of course keep the users towels nice and warm.
