Let’s be honest. You’ve waited your WHOLE LIFE for your fairy godmother to show up. And when she did – you blew it. You could have asked for anything in the world, and your mind went completely, absolutely, entirely … blank.

Who knows if you’ll ever get a second chance? Some say your fairy godmother only visits once and if you blow it, well, that’s just too bad.

But we’re optimists. We think there’s always a chance. And just in case she shows up again, you better be prepared. So we’ve done the planning for you, and put together a little list. It might not be exactly what you thought you’d ask your fairy godmother for, but hey – hot tub accessories actually make great gifts for yourself! Here are some ideas to get you started:

A fun lighting system

Most of today’s hot tubs come with some type of integrated lights. But installing a colored, LED lighting system (most include options for blinking, rainbow colors and more) can help you set any mood you’d like. And, they’re affordable. Double-win!

Comfy seat cushions

Special seat cushions can make your spa time extra comfortable. They’re also great for people who have hip or back issues and can’t sit for long periods on traditional spa seats. Just imagine how comfortable they would make these Michael Phelps Legend Series spas.

Handy trays and caddies

If you like to enjoy a drink while you’re relaxing in your hot tub, this is exactly what you’ve been looking for. These attach to the side of your spa, like these Clarity models, and give you a safe, dry place to rest your beverage, while keeping it within easy reach.

A great sound system

If your hot tub didn’t come with a sound system, you don’t know what you’re missing. Hot tub sound systems are soooo much better than just playing music straight from your phone. They’re waterproof for one. Plus, most can stream music from your device via Bluetooth so you can still hear your playlist but keep your device safe and dry.

A useful cover lifter

Lifting a spa cover by yourself is … not easy. A cover lifter solves the problem. These attach to the bottom or side of your spa, and turn cover removal into a one-person job.

All we’re saying is, there’s a chance you’ll get another visit. So like a good scout, “Be prepared!” And if you don’t, well, give the gift of hot tub accessories to yourself, or the hot tub owner on your list.
