Hello Gorgeous Gift Set

I would say that this is probably one of Lush's most popular gift sets available. I only say this because I have received this gift set probably 4-5 times over the last couple of years, all from different people, none of which have asked me for any input before they have bought it. 

It's a gift set that would appeal to most Lush fans, containing some of their most popular and exquisite products available. Who can say no to sharing a bath with the Comforter Bubble Bar? Or lathering their post-bath body with the glorious Vanilla Dee-lite moisturiser? 

It's beautifully packaged in a reusable and very pretty box, and one that I would be very grateful to receive again. The only negative aspect about this gift box is that it contains a non-vegan item; a small, 10g tin of Lush's Gorgeous Facial Moisturiser which I have to give away each time. It would be wonderful if they could exchange this for a small sample of the much-loved Celestial Facial Moisturiser, making it 100% vegan and even more amazing.

Lots Of Love Valentine's Day Gift Set

Despite trying to reduce my stash, I couldn't help but pick up a Lots of Love Gift set from Lush's Valentine's Day range. It comes in a beautiful box, which I'll continue to use way after the products have been finished. It's definitely the best gift set I've seen in a long while from Lush.

Toucan Love Valentine's Day Gift Set

In an attempt to reduce my stash, I opted to buy only one Valentine's Day gift set this year. Luckily, my friends received a different set, so I was able to take pictures of this gorgeous gift. Enjoy.

Limited Edition Vanillary Tin Set

Okay, I caved. I wasn't planning on buying this because although I love Lush's vanilla-scented perfume and body lotion, I couldn't justify buying the set simply for the tin and extra pair of fresh vanilla pods. However, the more I browsed Lush's site, the more I began to consider what I could actually do with the beautiful tin. Finally, I managed to convince myself that I would never buy the solid version of Vanillary, and this would be my only chance to own it. You know how it is...

So, a week later, this gorgeous gift arrived and I'm so happy that I finally relented. Although not as beautiful or unique as the Karma set, it's still wonderful in it's own right.

Limited Edition Wooden Karma Set

Being a massive fan of Karma, I desperately wanted to get my hands on one of these super-sexy limited edition Karma box sets. As it so happened, I was lucky enough to be given a substantial amount of Lush gift cards for Christmas, and visited the Covent Garden store to find just one Karma set left!

I stole away with it as fast as I could and I'm really happy that I did; it's a beautifully presented gift set that looks and smells fantastic, and I think, super value for money. If you add up the cost of the products inside, you're only really paying a couple of pounds for the box, which is worth every penny.

Check out these shots of my wonderful gift set;

Lush Christmas 2013 Gifts Unwrapped

I wouldn't normally purchase gift sets for myself, unless I loved the packaging enough to spend money on it. However, there were a number of beautiful looking gifts in the Lush Boxing Day sale, so I couldn't resist picking up a few. Most of these products will be reviewed individually, if they have not been already, but I wanted to celebrate the excitement of opening these well-crafted gifts with those of you who weren't able to get your hands on these this year. Enjoy.

Fun

I'm not even that big a fan of Fun, and this isn't technically a Christmas gift box as Lush released this a few months before the Christmas range came out. However, it does feature a limited edition seasonal product. 

I bought this solely for the tin as it immediately grabbed my attention when it appeared online. I began thinking about all the wonder things I could store in here (yes, I am that person), but wasn't willing to pay the £26 price tag for a glorified box. However, when I saw it was half price in the sale, I just knew I had to get it. 

It comes with a nicely sized chunk of all six varieties of FUN, as well as some plastic 'cookie' cutters to aid your artistic endeavours; a perfect gift to keep children and adults entertained for hours! 

 Woweeee

This is a lovely gift set for people who like citrus smells. Although not technically vegan (the inclusion of Whoosh Shower Jelly), I again bought this for it's packaging and will give the jelly away to one of my flatmates. 

This is definitely a gift set for fans of citrus-scented shower products. Firstly, I got a nice big chunk of Snow Globe, which although I rated very lowly in my review, I found that this piece was a lot stronger in scent than the chunk I reviewed. I might give it a second chance.

Next up was a small sample of Red FUN and a small 100g bottle of Ponche Shower Gel (can never have too much of this!).

Santa's Grotto

I was really excited to get my hands on not one, but two Santa's Grotto gift sets, which were very reasonably priced at under £10 in the sale. This is the first time I have purchased Lush scarfs, which are super soft and beautifully decorated; I'll definitely reuse these later on in the summer to accessorise my outfits. 

This gift set is a fantastic present for those who love their baths, as it featured a Cinders bath bomb, a Father Christmas, a Snowman and a Secret Santa Ballistic.  

Sweet Christmas

Another non-vegan gift set but my flatmates were more than happy to help me 'dispose' of the product I couldn't use (how thoughtful of them!). This a beautiful, feminine-looking gift set, that also happens to be rather on the big size.

This is a set that would be best suited for someone who doesn't have a specific favourite sort of cosmetic and would enjoy being exposed to a range of different scents and products.  For the bath, you have Think Pink bath bomb, a Magic Wand Bubble Bar and a Candy Mountain Bubble Bar. For the shower, you have a rather lovely bottle of Rose Jam (although I feel this is slightly out of place with the scent-theme going on here - I would have expected Snow Fairy instead). You also have a Sweetie Pie Jelly and a rather large slab of Sultana of Soap, which you do have to be careful with as it's rather soft and does tend to rub off on other products. 

Finally, you have a lovely tub of Bubblegum Lip Scrub and a tin of Honey Trap Lip balm.

 Fun

This is a great little gift set to add to someone's stocking, or as a little extra surprise to go alongside a main gift. It features three sample-sized pieces of Red, Green and Gold FUN, wrapped in a cute little stripy box. I can imagine this being a great gift for children to fiddle and play around with Christmas Day evening, when they're winding down for bed. 

 Winter Garden

I was fascinated by Lush's 'bauble' gift sets this year, and rather gutted that I couldn't get my hands on their Shooting Stars edition. However, Winter Garden is still a lovely, sophisticated looking gift set with a selection of rich, floral scents for the more sensual audience. 

In this set you get; a small 100g bottle of Rose Jam Shower Gel, a large slab of Sultana of Soap, a small tub of Ro-Argan Body Conditioner and a sample pot of Helping Hands.

This year's gift set range was exciting, colourful and beautifully presented, and I think they'll find it hard to top it next year. Not to worry, they still have a good 350 days to outdo themselves.
