(BPT) - Looking to level up your gift-giving game this year? The secret to inspired holiday gift giving is choosing meaningful things that will uplift, surprise and delight. It's not about how expensive your gifts are, it's about finding things that will make an impact and possibly improve your loved ones' lives, perhaps with something special they wouldn't think to buy for themselves.

Check all those boxes with an easy choice this holiday — give a bidet seat like the TOTO WASHLET! Though not a typical gift idea, a recent survey from TOTO and Harris Poll found that 58% of people would welcome a bidet seat as a gift, with 60% confessing they do not feel completely clean when just using toilet paper alone after a bathroom break.

Bidets have long been a central feature in European and Japanese bathrooms, and their popularity is skyrocketing in the U.S. Why? It's easier than ever to upgrade your bathroom with a bidet. You don't even need a whole new plumbed fixture anymore. Innovative electric bidet seats like the WASHLET from TOTO transform your toilet into a bidet by simply replacing the existing toilet seat!

The WASHLET adds warmth, self-care, convenience and luxury to your loved ones' everyday routine. And the good news for your holiday pocketbook — there is a bidet for every budget: the introductory WASHLET C2, intermediate WASHLET C5 or top-of-the-line WASHLET S7A.

Here's how a bidet seat will surprise and delight everyone on your list:

For the environmentally conscious

Why they'll love it: A bidet seat like the WASHLET can reduce a person's toilet paper use by up to 75%. That's good for the environment in terms of fewer trees being used and also less paper waste flushed into the sewer systems. It also reduces the amount of harsh cleaning chemicals people need to clean their toilet bowls because of their self-cleaning functions. With a WASHLET, people can have an eco-friendly bathroom that still feels luxurious. According to that survey by TOTO, 28% of Americans are motivated to consider purchasing a bidet as a way to reduce the environmental impact associated with using toilet paper.

For the apartment renter

Why they'll love it: Portable and easy to install, WASHLET bidets can upgrade even small bathrooms without requiring major renovation. This is a luxury upgrade for renters who can't make permanent changes to their bathrooms without losing their security deposit. Because a WASHLET can easily be removed, renters can even take their WASHLET with them to their next place of living.

For the wellness warrior

Why they'll love it: For those who live by their self-care routine, a WASHLET is a way to level up wellness. WASHLET uses a gentle, effective spray of warm water to cleanse after using the bathroom, which is more hygienic than using toilet paper. WASHLET promotes overall wellness by helping to prevent or ease the symptoms of common health issues ranging from hemorrhoids and Crohn's disease to jock itch. Many people find that toilet paper can irritate the skin, while the WASHLET's warm-water cleansing provides a gentler clean. Many brands of toilet paper also contain harsh chemical additives. By limiting your use of toilet paper with a bidet, you are limiting your exposure to these toxic chemicals.

For multigenerational families

Why they'll love it: According to survey data from TOTO, about 1 in 5 Americans (19%) live in a multigenerational home with at least one shared bathroom. A WASHLET provides a superior bathroom experience for people of all ages, at any stage of life. It supports everything from the challenges of keeping clean during potty training to the struggle of decreased mobility into old age. It's especially useful for families with multiple generations living under one roof to ease the stress of raising young children while also ensuring elder family members can live their daily lives with dignity, privacy and safety.

For lovers of luxury and the celebrity obsessed

Why they'll love it: A WASHLET by TOTO is an affordable way for someone to bring the luxury of a high-end hotel spa into their own living space. Many of today's finest hotels feature high-end bidets in their bathrooms to give their discerning guests a luxurious experience and celebrities have them at the top of bathroom upgrades for their homes. TOTO found more than 3 in 5 Americans (63%) see a bidet as a luxury or status symbol.

And don't forget to put yourself on that list. A WASHLET elevates any bathroom and turns it into a luxury spa-like retreat, making it a gift you and your loved ones will enjoy long after the holidays are over. You can find WASHLET at retailers like Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes and Wayfair.
