    I went to Coventry Lush about 10am this morning. I rang about 930 and they said they had a few £5 and a few £15 bags left but they were going fast. When I got there, there were only £5 bags left!!
    Really pleased with it, got an absolute bargain. I got:
    Marzibain bubble bar
    Christmas cake soap (which I wanted but didn't get for xmas ;p)
    A Gold Star bubble bar
    Christmas Morning bath bomb
    White Christmas gift set

    So, about £19 of stuff. Was worried I'd get a load of soaps ( I already have about 10!) so am really happy with my lot!

    Still fancy one of the £15 bags though!
    Anyone been to Birmingham or Solihull today?

    So annoying that some people are buying them all up just to resell :<

    Glad to hear you managed to get one Aliiyn :D
    The contents is the same as in mine- they seem to have got an awful lot of Mr Butterballs to get rid of!
    I am tempted to go back for a bag for myself as bought 2 yesterday for presents, but am not sure it is worth it as I am not keen on Mr Butterballs!

    Thanks Tiara for the heads up! I went in today and they had some of the £5 bags left. The one I got contained:
    3 Mr Butterballs £1.95 each
    1 Christmas Morning Bubble Bar £2.95
    Piece of Christmas Cake Soap £4.57
    1 Go Green solid perfume £4.84 (Not sure about this one. Can't decide if it smells fresh and lovely or more like something to ward off mozzies!)

    Am happy as I have been meaning to try Lush products for a while but the cost and very stinky shops have always put me off browsing! With any luck, there might be some more £5 bags left tonight and I can pick one up for my friend :T
  • I went yesterday (4.30pm) and they had very little: a handful of £5 bags, no £10 and no £15 bags though there were about 7 reserved.

    I asked for a £15 bag and the really nice shop assistant went upstairs to look for some more as the manager said there might be 3 more. Well she found only one - in the toilet!!!(methinks someone had hidden it away ;) ) and she sold it to me.

    I don't have time to list what was in it but probably about £43 worth.

    My 9 year old daughter bought a £5 bag which had 2 gift boxes -£17 worth.

    It looked as if they were making up some more as there were lots of stuff (bars etc) lying around behind the desk.

    Thank you. Will chance it and pop back on thurs afternoon as my SIL wants whatever I can get :)

    Not sure if I applaud her or hate her! Lush and Next should seriously limit how much stuff people can buy. I am gonna watch her sales, if she does well I may have to copy her next year!! No seriously,Ii don`t think I could go in and ask for 12..... 3 or 4 maybe!!:D

    Ha ha, I was thinking exactly the same. On the one hand, I find it really annoying because so many people want the bags, for their own use, and people buying stuff to resell mean that people are missing out.
    On the other hand, gotta applaud anyone that finds a way to make a bit of extra cash!

    I went there yesterday too,after work at 5pm. The staff were making some up and I got a £15 one which had just been done.

    Maybe you could be the Lush fairy; running around and dispensing Mr Butterballs to your nearest and dearest! Of course, fairies need treats too, so you would obviously deserve everything else in the bag.....:D

    One sensible piece of advice would be to get there soon. From what I gathered, the bags in the window are the only ones left and they're selling quickly!

    Not sure what one of the items is though - its a large pink star shaped soap bar or massage bar with gold glitter all over it. It feels a bit lile a massage bar with the slight melting when holding it, but I'm not convinced its a massage bar. Could it be some kind of Christmas edition Angels Delight soap? Its more the pinky colour of rock star soap though so I'm a bit confused :confused: Any ideas?

    Is it a glitter soap bar? I got one in a gift set at xmas - its kid of a waxy 'soap' like a massage bar but glittery - it does leave lots of glitter on your skin:)

    I've sent hubby on a mission today - he wont know what he's looking for and prob come back with a gift set though lol
