IT’S CHRISTMAS!!!! And that means a gift box from Lush

Beautifully wrapped and ready to give, Lush has a whole selection of festive gifts to suit everybody you know. There’s everything you could possibly want, ranging from stocking fillers and secret Santa gifts, to luxurious hatboxes with more than enough bath and body products to see you through to the New Year.

This year’s theme of ‘invention’ is evident in the gift collection with more Knot Wrap gifts available, along with more tins, that once used can be reused to house all your Lush products throughout the year. Or to put any other bits and pieces in that need tidying away. So delve into this selection of Christmas allsorts and choose from …

The Knot Wraps

The Lush Knot Wraps are an ecological alternative to gift-wrap, which has meant we are able to save 11.6 tonnes of waste per year. Choose from three festive versions to wrap your ballistics in … there’s the adorable Penguin Knot Wrap (£2.50), the super cute Pudding Knot Wrap (£2.50) and the versatile Santa’s Hat (£3.95) that can be reused as both Santa’s Hat and Santa’s beard!

£5.00-£7.50 … The Secret Santa Gifts

Secret Santa (£5.50) … the perfect gift for all those tricky Secret Santa presents. This one suits everyone – so it doesn’t matter whose name you pull out of the hat!
