I want to get a couple of lush bath bombs for my two boys, either for a Christmas eve hamper or for an advent one. I have looked at the lush website and haven't got a clue what to get:rotfl: i know a few of you have used these and was hoping for some recommendations!
btw there is free p&p on the lush website at the moment.

Thanks for some great ideas - I am going to do a family one for Christmas Eve for me, OH, DS1(17),DS2(14) and DD (7).

The boys protest that they are too old...but they still love it really!:D

Hi TinyPablo

This year myself and OH are off for 2 weeks together for the first time ever. After Christmas we are visiting family and friends, but from the Friday before we are all by ourselves :j

I am doing us a "run up to Christmas" hamper with things for us to do together. So far I have:

Tickets for a mini cruise to Brugge (special offer through P&O)
Lots of Christmas DVDs (White Christmas, Holiday Inn etc)
Christmas CDs - carols and classic songs
Christmas Mugs and snowman soups (yet to make these)
Snuggly throw for cuddling up on the sofa together
Vouchers for different things - walk to see the lights, trip to local garden centre with coffee and a cake (my treat)
New pack of cards
Jigsaw puzzle

I will probably add some treats like chocolates and nibbles as well

i got the snowman mr butterballs for my little ones (and me!) as they're suitable for sensitive skin and dont have floating bits in them ie confetti or stars (that get absolutely everywhere- trust me you dont want to know!). They're also not as expensive of some of the others at £1.95 ish. They also do a larger choc and vanilla santa which looked nice but i think were 3.75 each.

BTW here is something that would make a nice addition if you have a spare CD
