P.S. I Love You gift box, $34.95, lushusa.com
I confess...sometimes I buy things that I love under the guise of giving them to my son, only to appropriate them later for myself. Just last week I found an adorable stuffed-animal kiwi -- so crossed-eyed, so fluffy and lifelike that I had to get it for him. He thanked me and left it in the living room. As soon as he was out of sight, I snatched it up for safekeeping.
The P.S. I Love You gift box from Lush seems made for mom/kiddo sharing. The box is $34.95 and contains a massage bar (shea and cocoa butters in solid form), soap, body moisturizer, rose-scented red lip balm that doubles as a cheek tint, and a small perfume. The Love Potion bar and the fragrance are gorgeously scented with Love - a cleanly sweet and spicy scent with notes of apple, lemon, lemongrass, bergamot, apple, and cinnamon. The Sweetheart soap looks like a conversation-heart and is jasmine and sandalwood-scented.
My personal favorite is the Ro's Argan, a 'body conditioner.' Ingredients like vanilla pod, rose absolute, and geranium and lemon oils make it absolutely addictive as a scent and a moisturizer.
Those who rue Valentine's Day can snap up the ylang-ylang-and-vanilla-scented Ex Factor, a fizzing bath product in the shape of a little man that users are encouraged to name after someone who's treated them badly then drop in the bath to wash away the bad.
Snag this limited-edition booty at lushusa.com before I buy it all.
