It's been a long week, so you draw a warm bubble bath. A heavenly scented candle is burning as you put on your spa headband and submerge into the water. But, as soon as you do, you realize you forgot your glass of wine, and there's nowhere to prop up your juicy new romance novel. Sounds like it's finally time to get a bathtub tray.

Designed to rest over your tub, a bathtub tray keeps your self-care essentials within reach as you soak. Many function as caddies with organizational compartments for soap, a loofah, your washcloth, a great book, and of course, that aforementioned glass of wine. A classic wooden teak or bamboo board contributes to the zen vibe and looks beautiful over a freestanding vessel—even when it's not in use. Adjustable metal or plastic caddies and even swivel trays are convenient as well, especially for smaller tubs or ones that sit against a wall (they also make for easy storage).

No matter your preference, these will all help you take a cue from "bathing connoisseur" Oprah to create the ultimate at-home spa experience.

This bamboo tray attaches to your tub via suction cup (great for tubs with only one ledge), and it swivels, so you don't have to worry about knocking into it when you rise. How clever!

If your aesthetic is on the sleek side, opt for this transparent piece that Amazon reviewers love because it matches most traditional white tubs.

Your self-care setup is about to get fancy. With a textured leaf motif, this luxury washed-teak and brass tray will look lovely even as a decor piece.

Plucking your eyebrows? Pretending to accept an Oscar? Picking a pimple? Perhaps don't do the last thing, but this pine wood board does feature a flip-up mirror.

Constructed with moisture-resistant stainless steel, this design has a removable and adjustable rack for your reading material of choice.

Keep your necessary objects organized with this lacquered bamboo version, which also has nonslip silicone grips on the underside.

Get ready to settle in: This ergonomic bamboo tray has a designated spot for your wineglass.

Compact apartment tubs will appreciate this slimmer style, which still offers compartments for soap, razors, and devices alike.

This retractable holder features drainage holes throughout and can also do double duty over your kitchen sink.

Simple and straightforward, this teak board is ideal for minimalists.

Not only will this herringbone-tiled pattern make a nice addition to your bathroom counter, it can also rest near your tub if you have an oversize ledge.
