Indulgent Bubble Bath

GrammarGirl

Molton Brown is fab, but Jo Malone is the absolute best. They have so many different scents and the assistants are so helpful. I bought my Mum a candle for her wedding and when I told them what it was for, they gave me generous sample sizes of the matching perfume and body lotion.

It is very expensive, though. That candle cost me £50. Yikes!

I really like the Soap and Glory bath products- I think the bubble bath is about a fiver but it does leave your skin really soft.

I also love the Lush bath bombs- a selection of those makes aa really lovely gift without breaking the bank.

I personally steer clear of oils as I do find they make the bath really slippery.

I love the Soap and Glory range too, smells gorgeous and they have an offer on at Boots at the moment I think. Lush bath bombs are a great treat and a selection always goes down well here as a treat. Jo Malone perfume is absolutely gorgeous - not tried the bath products but I'm sure they're just as divine, very expensive though.

I also love Burts Bees lemon bath and massage oil but probably not suitable as others have already mentioned - it does make the bath very slippy.

I'm not a fan of Molton Brown - reminds me of hotels!

I love M&S bubble bath - theyre only a quid each but honestly, they are gorgeous. My fave is the Aloe Vera foam bath and the Coconut Milk cream bath - the cream bath especially is VERY indulgent and a little goes a long way! Plus they dont make the bath slippy - especially good for me as I have problematic knees and ankles!

My mum recently broke her wrist and was telling me how awkward it is to wash and that she has trouble just having a simple bath. I thought it would be nice if I bought her some nice bubble bath for when she was able to bath properly. She told me yesterday that her cast has now been taken off. Please could people suggest some really nice bubble bath that you use when you want to really pamper yourself and have a nice soak in the bath. I don't mind paying that little bit extra as I want to spoil my mum.

Any suggestions gratefully received :-)

As it's for your ma, how about the Ma Bar from Lush!

www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=98&category_id=478&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=80

And a whole heap of other bath bars/bath ballistics/melts.

My personal favourites from them are:
The Comforter: www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=273&category_id=478&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=80

French Kiss: www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=119&category_id=478&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=80

Mmm Melting Marshmallow Moment: www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=101&category_id=549&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=80

Sex Bomb: www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=431&category_id=476&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=80

and the Ma Bar.

Some do make a bit of a mess in the bath though, but the ones above, less so.

If you get her a variety of things, she is more likely to like something, rather than buying one item where you risk her not liking it. Personally, I am not a Molton Brown fan, for example - feels very chemically to me.

Lush's sister company also do some awesome bath treats:

The dog's hindquarters of bathing products imo. Their shampoo is fab too.

i think a few bits from lush would be lovely for your mum, i love the way they make the whole house smell. Molton brown reminds me of posh air freshner, too strong. And bath oils make such a mess of the bath and my skin always feel tacky afterwards, not too mention how dangerous it could be. I remember being told to add baby oil to my babies bath, nearly dropped him trying to get him out. Last week i treated myself to some chanel chance shower stuff, the lady said to use it in the bath, didn't think it was anything special for £29 for a small bottle, didn't seem very scented.

Boots sanctuary do lovely bath products and bath gift sets, more than ever this month as christmas gifts on shelves, i love the spray on body lotion, so quick to apply and very moisturising for dry skin

I have had a look at pretty much everything everyone has suggested and think I would either like to go with Lush or Sanctuary. The only trouble with Lush is there's just so much choice :eek: Another one I thought of was L'Occitane (their Shea Butter body lotions look like they're really good too) and have found this which sounds really nice http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/app.detail/walk.yah.UKHB~UK83.

Mrs Ryan, I would have really liked to have had a proper look at the M&S stuff especially with being £1.00 I could have got a good selection but I don't have an M&S in my town and probably won't be able to get to one before I get to see my mum but thanks for the tip, I'll remember that for future purchases.
