Hoppy Easter Bunny Knot-Wrap has hopped back into our shops this Easter, but this time he’s been loose in the garden eating LUSH Easter goodies!

When you unwrap your Hoppy Easter gift you’ll find a duo of fresh vegan bathing treats to keep your bath time hoppin’. So what does the bunny have hidden in his tummy?

The Carrot reusable bubble bar: a fruity lemon and bergamot bubbler that can be used to brighten up several baths. It looks just like a certain crunchy source of vitamin A… We won’t tell if you cheat and use this one towards your daily vegetable intake!

Fluffy Egg Bath Bomb: egg-shaped and so cotton candy sweet you won't need to eat any Easter treats (well, maybe a few!). We decorate Fluffy Egg with candy flowers so it looks just like painted Easter eggs, but this egg is much more fun to use in the bathtub.

This lovely pair of spring-inspired bath delights is cozily nestled into the 100% organic cotton bunny Knot-Wrap, and then expertly tied by our gift-wrapping gurus so that the knots create his big floppy ears. We purchase bunny Knot-Wrap from Re-Wrap, an organization that operates a not-for-profit cooperative in Mysore India. The cooperative employs about eighty individuals who come from disadvantaged social and financial circumstances. Upon gaining employment with the Re-Wrap cooperative, they receive on-the-job training in traditional weaving and embroidery techniques, and reliable, profitable work that allows them to gain financial independence.

By choosing to purchase our Knot-Wraps from Re-Wrap, we make a...

Want to know the secrets behind our beautiful gifts? We wrap each one by hand, with love.

Unfortunately, not all of us are as a talented as our Gifts team. While it is the thought that counts, presentation does too. We put so much care into choosing the perfect gift - and then a tumble with the tape, a tussle with the paper, and a knotty situation with a bow gets us all tied up.

One trick to gift wrapping at this time of year is a generous helping of extra patience courtesy of rum and (vegan) eggnog. Another is to get professional tips and advice from our experts. We stopped by Gifts and Milena, head of our gift wrapping elves, (who's fingers are swift, and her bows mighty), went through step-by-step to show us how to get sharper corners and perfect bows. Thanks Milena!

We've tried wrapping a few since taking the course and we can report that while our wrapping is still not as good as hers, it's been vastly improved!

Modern day wise men! Looking for gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh this Christmas? You can find them all at LUSH. My name’s Anton and I work at our Robson Street shop in Vancouver, and things are starting to buzz with the holidays coming up so quickly. Our shop does get to be a bustling one this time of year, but don’t let the crowd scare you. Trust us, it’s a party in here. Come on in!

Guys, We’re Here to Help

When you walk into our (or any) LUSH store, you’re likely to be greeted with a big, smiley hello. Don’t be intimidated by our zeal! We’re just stoked about helping you find whatever it is that brought you in: whether you’re restocking your bathroom with your favourite products or checking things out for the first time, we’re happy to show you around and tell you about what we’ve got.

Looking for Things to Put Under the Tree?

Finding the perfect gifts for your friends and family can be a tricky exercise, so let us do the heavy lifting for you. (I mean that metaphorically, unless you do end up going for our LUSH Legends gift, which I’ve affectionately nicknamed “Big Red”. You’ll see why when you drop by.) We’ll need to know a bit about the people in your life to make good recommendations for them, so if our questions start getting personal, we’re not being creepy. Knowing that your sister plays basketball, for example, lets us tailor our suggestions to include goodies that are great on sore muscles. We ...

Oy vey! The holidays are here and eight crazy nights of celebration are just around the corner. We don't want to sound like your overbearing mother, but have you made your list and checked it twice? You may have bought enough food to feed a small army, but what about a brilliant new gift to keep your loved ones squeaky clean and schmutz free? With Hanukkah in mind, our merry band of LUSH designers burned the midnight oil to create our new Happy Hanukkah gift. This trio of treats for bath and shower does just the trick when you want to spread festive cheer.

This year our gift designers created a North American exclusive gift that honors the tradition of Hanukkah with modern elements. They began by selecting three of our best and brightest for bath and shower including Avobath Bath Bomb, The Olive Branch shower gel and Ice Blue soap. As the story of Hanukkah goes, a small amount of olive oil was used to light the Holy Temple’s menorah and it miraculously stayed lit for eight nights! With this in mind we chose Avobath and The Olive Branch because they're both made with olive oil, which is also a great way to hydrate dry winter skin. Our indulgent Avobath Bath Bomb also features fresh avocado for a healthy helping of moisture when skin needs it most. The Olive Branch shower gel's zippy mandarin orange scent is great for perking you up after an evening of heavy eating.

Here at LUSH, our friends and family have come to expect LUSHous gifts from us every year, and we're more than happy to share the LUSH love! We take pleasure in giving people a reason to take time out for themselves, in the bath, in the shower and in the bedroom (massage bars, anyone?). In order to help you find the right LUSH gifts for everyone on your list (yes, you can find something here for everyone!), we've created a Gift Finder for our online shop. You can search for gifts by their personality, and you can search for gifts and products by recipient or price.

By Personality

All of our gifts have their own personality to compliment your gift recipients', so we categorized them so you can find the perfect match. If you know someone who loves snuggling with hot cocoa and a warm blanket on cold, winter days, pick a gift from our "Cozy and Comforting" category. Or if they are bubbly, fun and fresh, click on "Pink and Sugary" or "Playful and Fun" to view our sweetest, most colorful treats. We've got "Traditional" gifts as well, for those holiday-lovers who can't wait to put their tree up, even in November, and a section of gifts for couples "To Share".

Gift Recipient

If you know your gift recipient loves taking baths, click on "Bath Lovers", or if they don't have a tub click "Shower Enthusiasts" to view holiday shower products and gifts which only contain shower products. We've grouped our most playful, fun holiday products into a category for "Little Ones", and our ...
