It’s been a year. Now that the holidays are over, whether you’re planning your New Year’s resolutions or not, we hope you’re taking some time for self-care, now and into 2026. When we find ourselves in dire need of R&R, there’s one place that never lets us down: the beloved Los Angeles apothecary, Flamingo Estate.

Sexify Your Pantry With Flamingo Estate’s Delectable Staples
Impress your guests with these lavish pantry items

For the uninitiated, Flamingo Estate offers a well of unique artisanal home goods perfect for gifting yourself or others, from candles to pantry items to an entire product line dedicated to yes, tomatoes (they invented the original Tomato Candle). Our favorite items of theirs, however, come from the delightfully luxurious bath and body section, where nutrient-rich soap bricks, bath sets and haircare products await your discovery.

To start your new year off strong (or should we say rested and moisturized), we’ve done the honor of rounding up our favorite Flamingo Estate bath and body products here:
