For someone with a sauna at home

Practical gear gets used every week. A 5 L (about 1.3 gal) aluminum bucket and ladle with bamboo handles, a dial thermometer and sand timer, or a hemlock backrest all fit any traditional sauna. Check the backrest size against their bench before you buy. If they run a wood-fired tent sauna, add heat-resistant leather gloves.

For the regular sauna-goer

A sauna hat is the most common sauna gift for a reason. Choose 100% wool felt for a hot Finnish sauna, or the packable polyester mesh hat for the gym bag. Add a birch, oak or eucalyptus venik, or a scent for their löyly water from sauna scents, oils and skin care.

For after the sauna

Robes come in women's, men's and kids' styles, in a light 60/40 cotton-poly waffle or a warm plush microfiber. The 100% cotton bath towel comes in four sizes up to 100 × 200 cm (about 39 × 79 in). For something to wear around town, the sauna hoodies are a cotton-poly fleece in sizes XS and up.

For readers and builders

There are 17 sauna books here, from an $8.08 beginner guide to The Secrets of Finnish Sauna Design. Builders will like the Sauna Construction Handbook. Sauna culture fans may prefer Sauna: The Power of Deep Heat or The Opposite of Cold.

Gift tips

  • Not sure what kind of sauna they use? Scent oils and Sauna Ice go into the water for the stones, so they suit traditional saunas, not infrared. Hats, robes, towels and books suit anyone.
  • Sizes matter for robes and hoodies. Check the size chart on each listing.
  • Most orders ship within 1–4 business days. Transit time varies by product, so order early if you have a date in mind.
