Give your loved ones a White Xmas

By Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady

To many people, a white Christmas means skiing and snow and a winter wonderland.

No thanks, I would rather be inside sitting by a fire—or better yet, luxuriating in a bathtub.

That’s why I love Lush. It’s not just that I love their natural products.

They package clever combos and wrap them all up. Here are a few of my favorites for gifts ( and I do have a big stash for myself)

Best Wishes gift ($19.95)
Best Wishes is a gift for those minimalists who like their Christmas gifts to be simple. It's a pure white parcel with beautifully embossed star paper and tied with a red ribbon. It's filled with two snow white bath bombs and  lovely Snowcake soap.

Contains: Mr. Butterball bath bomb, Wish Upon A Star bath bomb, Snowcake soap.

Chirpy Christmas gift ($34.95)
Chirpy Christmas is a bundle of yuletide specials for your cheerful friends. Four products for soaking yourself in a cheery bath and one for washing your hands. A rockin' robin cheers up the wrapping and he is tied with a bright red ribbon.

Contains: Greenwing bath bomb, Puddy Holly bath bomb, Wish Upon A Star bath bomb, Christmas Kisses bubble bar, Snowcake soap.

Christmas candy box gift ($30.95)
The Christmas Candy Box arrives with some new sweet-as-candy surprises inside. Indulge your taste in spearmint, vanilla, marshmallows, and cotton candy with no need to brush your teeth afterwards. Five soap, shower gel, and bath treats all smell as though they've been special delivered from the candy store.

 Contains: Candy Cane bubble bar, Christingly bubble bar, Snow Fairy shower gel, MMM (Melting Marshmallow Moments) bath melt, Angel's Delight soap.

Christmas Party gift ($24.95)
The best way to get ready for a party is to take a long relaxing bath. It's also the best way to recover  the day after. We recommend Christmas Party and Wish Upon a Star bath bombs for getting ready to go out, then Puddy Holly and the wonderfully magically reviving Jingle Spells to help with recuperation. Give this to your favorite party animals.
