Christmas/Red theme liquid soap wanted

i am having a few friends round for drinks in december and would love to add a nice few accesories to my house...one thing im after is a liquid soap for the downstairs loo. Ideally would love a red luxurious one.Looked at Molten and Brown but no red theme (and too expensive!) Body shop have one for £7.50 but still would like a few more options.Any help/advice appreciated.

    Could you dye it with a bit of food colouring or crepe paper? I don't know if this would colour people's hands though? (Perhaps not one of my best ideas!)
    I think Fairy Liquid do a red coloured washing up liquid, you could decant into a handwash bottle and scent with a bit of clove oil - as we all know, it's all detergent at the end of the day.

  • Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ~ WOO HOO what a ride!

  • M & S had a red one last year but I don't know if it's on sale this year. It wasn't any dearer than the usual price for their liquid soap.
  • I know its not exactly luxurious, but Lidl do a nice red one in the cien range, smells great, you could always decant it into a nice handwash bottle if you wanted.

    Yves Rocher do a gingerbread flavoured one which is £2.50 and looks red in the picture. Ordered one the other day but it hasn't arrived yet so can't comment on the smell - hopefully this link will work

    Hi, no sorry don't think there are any free delivery codes around at the mo :rolleyes:

    If you only want that the handwash and don't want to spend £10 to get free delivery then the only thing I can suggest to help recoup delivery is if you are a member of https://www.rpoints.com or if you join then you get £2 cashback per order which cuts the delivery cost down but obviously you will have to wait a couple of months to see the money.

    Hi Shazziere,

    Just re-read your post and realised you actually mentioned The Body Shop one! In my defence it was getting quite late and I should have been in bed! Mental note to pay attention to detail in future! Sorry :confused:
