GIFTS

Handmade soap and bath goods from Lush

Well-known for its environmentally friendly handmade soaps and cosmetics, Lush Japan Co. has created 40 different kinds of original gifts for the Christmas season.

The gifts are geared toward both adults and children, presenting customers with a wide selection to choose from, whether they are looking for a gift for loved ones, friends or families.

Each gift box is wrapped in a different material such as wrapping paper made of handmade Nepalese lokta paper, 100 percent recycled satin ribbon and handmade organic Indian cotton.

Some of the gifts began selling in October, and the items have increased as Christmas draws near. Now, the Christmas gift selections come in many shapes and colors and prices (from ¥1,480 to ¥28,600). There are gifts such as the "Christmas Candy Box" for ¥3,280 that has several types of soap and bubble bath wrapped in a pink and light green box, which will surely bring a smile to whoever receives it, and the "Human Cannonball," which has five bath bombs in different colors, for ¥4,780.

Of special note is the "Secret Santa," with a bath bomb and bar of soap in the shape of Santa Claus. At ¥1,680, the gift is wrapped in a "knot-wrap" handkerchief made from Indian organic cotton.

All of these gifts can be bought (tax included) at most Lush outlets, or online at www.lushjapan.com/products/christmas-gifts.
