Are you still looking for something special to give to your mom, grandmother, wife or other wonderful woman in your life for Mother’s Day? If you think she would like gifts that would pamper her, or provide her with some quality “me time”, then you should check out some of the great gift ideas at LUSH.
I ♥ LUSH. I truly do. I really wish they had a store local to me. I would be there all the time. Then again, maybe that is not such a great idea. I’d probably go broke buying up all their products. I love their products. If you do a search on my site for LUSH you’ll find reviews of some LUSH products. One of my favorites is their Shampoo Bars. They last forever!
LUSH products are handmade with the finest ingredients and essential oils. They do not use preservatives and they do not test on animals. They also have minimal packaging, making them friendly towards Mother Earth too. Here is an example of some of the packaging.
One of my favorite things about LUSH products is that many of them are labeled with the name of the person who created the product you are using and the date it was created, which shows you just how fresh they are.
If you have never walked into a LUSH store before and happen to come across one I would highly recommend you stop in. Just be forewarned. You are going to want to smell and touch everything they have.
I have only been in one LUSH store, and that was at Universal Walk in California. I wanted to take half the store home with me.
Here are a few suggestions of LUSH products that your special lady might enjoy this Mother’s Day.
I have never seen or even heard of the Bubble Wands (pictured above). They are bath soaps (for lack of a better description) on a stick made to resemble a wands. To use simply fill your tub with warm water and gently wave the wand around INSIDE the water. The essentials oils and other ingredients disperse into the water leaving you with a beautifully scented bubble bath.
LUSH sent me a few samples to review. I received the following Bubble Wands.
Mum Tulip – Oh my goodness! The scent of this alone beckons me to take a bath just so I can keep smelling it. It smells SO GOOD! The description says it has a chocolate orange scent. I don’t really smell the chocolate but I do smell the orange and bergamot oil. It has a nice floral-citrus like scent to it. It’s hard to explain. All I know is the scent is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
The Mum – The scent is suppose to be reminiscent of a freshly cut lawn, but don’t think it smells like cut grass. It doesn’t. It does however have a Spring time “clean” scent with a touch of citrus.
Both the Mom Tulip and The Mum came with hang tags made out of paper embedded with seeds. So they serve as two gifts in one. That special lady in your life can not only enjoy a fragrant bath but also the flowers that grow from the seeds in the tags. Simply soak the paper in water than plant it in your garden. You can even reuse the stick as a plant marker so you know where you planted them.
The Dish Fairy Wand is such a fun idea. Instead of squirting a dish soap out of the bottle to wash your dishes you can simply wave the magic Dish Fairy wand in a sink full of hot/warm water and create bubbles to do your dishes.
Washing dishes is not something mom should be doing on Mother’s Day, but it’s a lovely gift to give her anyway since she can enjoy it for through many washes when Mother’s Day is over and it’s back to reality.
The wands can be used several times. Once you created the bubbles and scent in your tub (or sink) place the wand some place to dry. I use a cup to stand them up in until they are dry, then I tuck them away in the bathroom closet.
It would be fun to make mom a bouquet of Bubble Wands. Simply pick up a nice vase, or even a pretty mug, and then fill it with several wands. It would look darling on a bathroom counter.
LUSH also sent me their Secret Garden bath bomb. It creates both bubbles and fizz. The scent is out of this world wonderful! It reminds me of an English Garden. It’s so fragrant! So much so that I haven’t used it yet. I love the scent too much and I want to keep it around for as long as I can. I currently have it on my desk and I can smell it as I am working. The scent lingers through the air. It’s oh-so-nice and wonderful! Better than most air fresheners.
All of these would make wonderful gift ideas for Mother’s Day, or even a “just because” gift. You don’t need to wait for someone to give them to you either. Pick them up for yourself. 🙂

I love the wands! They would be great, you could use as little or as much as you would like, add as much softening and scent as you like in your bath.

I like the dish fairy wands what a cute idea especially to cheer mom up if she doesnt like to do dishes. Thanks for all the info on what they have for Mothers Day gifts
Ari says
Those Bubble wands are too cute! I’ve known about Lush for some time now, but never really got a chance to try a product until recently when my sister bought a bath bomb from an official US store. It smells so amazing, so I completely believe you on how great all their products smell. These select items (and probably anything else) would make anyone’s day, I think, so they are truly perfect for Mom.

As we age it is harder to find something for my wife that she doesn’t already have and impossible to figure out what to buy my mom! Unique gifts seems like the way to go, pajamas and robes are out! These would be nice for my wife because she is sensitive to some of the chemicals is commercially produced bath products. Gonna give them a look, thanks!

We have a Lush store near us and I love it! They have amazing products. I have such sensitive skin that thy are very few items I can wear without breaking out in hives. Because Lush’s products are natural I have found so many things I missed out on for years. They are worth every penny.
Kate F. says
Those are great ideas. I’ve never heard of Lush before.
Maria says

I love Lush, too and am lucky to have a store near me. However, I do love browsing in the few stores I have found in airports – makes a long wait for a flight (or between flights) much more bearable when I can walk around smelling stuff and buy myself a little treat.
