Delta Lockwood Rain Can, $50 in chrome

Problem: You covet the gentle downpour of a rain-can showerhead, but most are pricey and require professional installation.
Solution: The Lockwood has a full-swivel head that can be pointed in any direction, so it doesn’t require a special shower arm or a ceiling mount. (A 13-inch gooseneck shower arm is available if you prefer the traditional above-the-head position, though do-it- yourself installation will be trickier.) The six-inch-diameter face has 45 spray channels, ensuring a full-body drench with just enough pressure to make it mildly invigorating. A bonus: The jets are rubberized to cut down on mineral deposits.
