Upgrade her shower or bath experience with a nice warm towel. This compact towel warmer features multiple timer settings—15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes —won't take up too much space in her bathroom, and can hold a large bath sheet.
"Given its smaller cavity, the warm-up timer was exceptionally swift," said our tester. "Just be careful touching the interior, since there's no hot surface warning light."
