(ARA) –Wouldn’t it be nice to hand your gift list over to someone else and let them find the perfect present for everyone from your babysitter to your Grandmother to your co-workers? Then you’d be free to focus on other important holiday tasks like finding the right dress for all the parties you’re invited to.
Fortunately for you, the holiday catalog from Lush Cosmetics is the next best thing to your own personal holiday elf. Lush is known for its fresh handmade cosmetics; you’ll find everything from shampoo and conditioner to foot scrubs, as well as the company’s signature products such as bath bombs and bubble bars, to pamper every inch of the lucky people on your list – and you.
Based in England, the company’s products have been favorites of stars like Halle Berry and Madonna for years, and with 21 stores and counting in the United States, its products are gaining stateside devotees every day. Anyone on your holiday list who gets one of these special gifts is sure to join those ranks.
Lush is known for its bath bombs which are aptly named – when these spherical wonders hit the water, they explode with a mass of fragrant fizzing, releasing their combination of essential oils, and often, an unexpected ingredient such as flower petals, leaves and even confetti. For stocking stuffers or holiday grab bags, nothing beats two special holiday editions offered this year: Teddy Bear’s Christmas and Letters to Santa. The Teddy Bear Bomb is a cheery yellow, scented with Lush’s most popular Honey I Washed the Kids Soap fragrance, and contains the soothing powers of honey water, sweet orange oil, aloe vera and bergamot oil. Letters to Santa is scented with clove bud, black pepper, cinnamon and orange for a spicy, warming bath; as it dissolves, it releases alphabetic letters for an added touch of whimsy.
Other inexpensive gifts include Egg Snog Lip Balm and three special holiday Bubble Bars – Ruby Red Slippers, Christmas Kiss and Candy Cane. Ruby Red Slippers is a shiny red bar that contains jasmine, rose and festive red glitter, while Christmas Kiss is a spicy blend of sugar, paprika, cinnamon and orange. Candy Cane is a yummy blend of vanilla, cocoa butter and almond oil. Another first by LUSH, the solid bubble bars are formulated to provide one or two bath’s worth of bountiful bubbles.
Once again this holiday season, Lush is offering pre-wrapped and boxed gifts that are perfect for everyone on your shopping list. There are inexpensive ones for the office grab bag, extravagant ones for the very special people in your life, and even some for the men on your list.
If you know someone who has been very, very good this year, reward them with the Secret Stash, Lush’s most magnificent gift set. It includes 25 of the Lush staff’s favorite goodies, including an assortment of bath bombs, bubble bars, soaps, massage bars, lotions, body butters, dusting powders, and hair products.
Lush offers a wide selection of gift sets under $100, including Winter Wonderland, Snow Shower and Merry Christmas. All contain a fanciful combination of holiday themed products such as Merry Xmas Massage Bar, Snowcake Soap, Glam Rock Hair Glitter and Snow Fairy Shower Gel.
For around $20, you can delight your friends and family with the Snow Fairy or Christmas Hug gift sets. The Snow Fairy contains Christmas Carol Bath Bomb, Snow Fairy Shower Gel and Angels Delight Soap, all of which are filled with fairy sparkle. The Christmas Hug combines Teddy Bear’s Christmas Bath Bomb with Honey I Washed the Kids Bear Soap.
And for that special man in your life, there’s Yule Dude, a combination of almost everything a dude needs when marooned in a girl’s bathroom: Ambrosia Shaving Cream, Snowcake Soap, LUSH Pud Bath Bomb, and Happy Hippy Shower Gel.
Don’t forget something for yourself. How about one of Lush’s detoxifying products to beat off those winter blues and leave your skin feeling happy and healthy? Try the Merry Xmas Massage Bar whose clove bud, black pepper, cinnamon and orange will soothe aching muscles and leave you feeling refreshed and relaxed. Party On Jelly is just what you need to keep going after all the holiday parties; it detoxifies, stimulates and energizes a sluggish system with fresh lime juice and rosemary, along with an invigorating dash of fresh mint and menthol.
The label on each product includes the date it was made and the “best before” date. It also includes names and pictures of the individuals who made, gift wrapped or packaged the product. Come to think of it, maybe you do have your own private elves after all!
