(Discontinued and repackaged in 2005) – Lush's Hat Box Gifts are the most spectacular sights in the shop, and unless your gift
recipient detests the colour pink, a Think Pink Hat Box is guaranteed to make just about any gal's day (or year even) as it comes with a
little something to suit every aromatic taste. A white keepsake box decorated in pink cherry blossoms and tied in a thick satin bow, this
gift contains twelve of Lush's pinkest products. For the bath, you first get sweetened herbs: the 5-star lavender and tonka (similar to
vanilla) Ballistic of the same name along with a sensual musk and clary sage two-tone purple and pink Sex Bomb, a glorious bath with
a three dimensional precious pink rice paper rose on top (with the only downside being that it turns to a lump of horror show goo once
it hits the water.) Representing the floral genre is the rose-based In The Nude Bath Melt intended as a cure for irritated skin, and the
perfume-heavy Auntie Pamela Bubble Bar (but though it generally turns brown over time -- this being the reason it's since been
discontinued -- it does indeed start out a girly shade of pink with golden sprinkles on top!) Following Auntie Pamela's rosy innocence
is the come-hither jasmine and ginger Something Wicked This Way Comes, covered with pink glitter that simultaneously aims to
please both glitter goddess and anti-sparklers: despite its bawdy appearance, only a shimmer is generally afforded this bath with very
little adhering to the body (and house.) And though one might expect Two Timing Tart to be a "strawberries and cream" bubble bath
according to Lush's marketing, it really is a floral geranium bath for the most part, even if it does indeed contain pureed strawberries
and coconut cream. For those with an active sweet tooth, one of Lush's best Bath Melts, MMM (Melting Marshmallow Moments), offers
a candied banana and melon fragrance similar to that of Snow Fairy Shower Gel and Candy Fluff Dusting Powder, while Creamy
Candy Bath's sugary vanilla bubbles and the similarly scented Rock Star Soap will fill the bath with the fragrance of candy floss and
Bazooka Bubble Gum. For the shower, Lush includes their exfoliating coconut I Should Coco Soap, whose only weakness is it's
smoky green coriander and vetivert notes, both often detracting from its sweeter essence, while adding a dash of must. And to top this
gift off, you also get a few post-shower and bath skin care products: Lush's most excellent honey scented pink hand cream and a fairly
decent pink peppermint foot cream. (Be careful when it comes to heavier applications, though, as Fair Trade's pink colouring tends to
stain fabric.) With such a wide spectrum of fragrances being covered under the same girlie pink umbrella, it's inevitable that a few of
the products in this gift are bound to strike any recipient as fairly "meh", and which products those might be is bound to come down to
individual taste. But still, a majority of these assorted goodies (along this gift's gorgeous presentation) are bound to knock their socks
off, no matter if they prefer things sweet or sensual.

This is the current version of Lush's Think Pink Hat Box, with inverted colours (a pink box decorated with white cherry blossom flowers),
and containing a few new products owed to several of the items in the original Think Pink Gift being discontinued or reformulated. For
more information on the unchanged items, you can read the review above (and of course, you can also read their individual detailed
reviews for each product under their own specific categories). Still an excellent gift, the changes are predominantly minor and yet still
quite significant! For example, Something Wicked This Way Comes was originally a jasmine and ginger scented pink Bath Melt
bathed in ostentatious glitter. In 2005, Lush reformulated Something Wicked This Way Comes so that it became a glitter-free baby
blue Bath Melt with tiny pink cocoa butter chunks. No longer being primarily pink, it was then replaced in this gift by the pinkish-red
jasmine and neroli Irresistible Bliss Shampoo Bar for so-called "normal" hair. Containing little to no noticeable fragrance, this is
indeed a lovely shampoo, and for those whose hair types it doesn't happen to suit, it also makes a fabulous body soap as it's
particularly gentle. All things considered, Something Wicked This Way Comes was replaced with a better product. Unfortunately, the
same cannot be said for the Auntie Pamela Bubble Bar, which was discontinued quite soon after it's initial release for two reasons. 1)
It was quite expensive due to the posh oils it contained and 2) it had a bad habit of starting out pink but then turning brownish-beige
over time. So Lush replaced it with Softy Bath Ballistic, which is, sadly, generally a miserably faintly fragranced bath with brown rose
petals that will likely make you feel like you're bathing in a bowl of soggy cornflakes. Overall, however, this minor negative change
doesn't impact the fabulousness of this gift, especially when considering that your gift recipient gets to try one of Lush's best Shampoo
Bars. But if you're interested in getting your hands on a Think Pink Hat box, you'd better get this gift fast, because Irresistible Bliss is on
the chopping block as of Spring 2006, as is Softy Ballistic, and possibly also Two Timing Tart Bubble Bar. And rumour has it that as
Lush ventures out of their "all things pink" phase, this gorgeous hat box gift may soon be bidding us adieu as well.

(Limited Edition for Christmas 2006) – Anytime you have family members who must travel by plane to visit for Christmas, be sure to
give them a Lush hat box. Instead of many small gifts, my parents pitched in to give me Lush's gorgeous Wish List Gift (and I've built
you a page of pictures as I unwrapped it so that you could share the moment with me!) Traveling became a cinch: no more shoving a
gazillion gifts into my already precariously overstuffed luggage (only to then have baggage handlers cruelly beat the crap out of it as
they do). I simply grabbed the light (but heavy on fabulousness) box by the handles, kissed everyone goodbye, and off I merrily went
with my movie star parcel! Plus, it's so carefully packaged (as you'll see from the pictures at the above link) that you don't have to worry
about any of the delicacies within getting broken in transit. And Wish List in particular happens to contain quite a few flawlessly
precious products, some of the best Christmas goodies that Lush has to offer: a lemongrass Green Wing (which is an angel shaped
Avobath Bath Ballistic), juniperberry hangover cure Jingle Spells, luxurious cocoa butter packed vanilla musk Mr. Butterball Snowman,
and rich marzipan scented Snowcake Soap. And as if that weren't enough fabulousness in one box, there is also a spicy "Hershey's
Kiss" shaped Christmas Kisses, mint tea Christingly, fresh green Christmas Day, Karma scented Bling Crosby, fruity vanilla spice
Christmas Massage, and a small 100g bottle of potent patchouli and frankincense Ol' Blue Skies Is Back Shower Gel. Of course, the
latter might get up your nose a bit (especially if you're a patchouli hater), but it's still one of the kindest skin caring gels Lush has ever
created. (No matter what you think of their scents, patchouli and frankincense are two of the greatest anti-aging skin conditioners on
earth.) And while Wish Upon A Star may look bland, its musked pine oil is guaranteed to soothe stress related headaches and
insomnia, making this a wonderfully relaxing aromatherapy treatment. Besides, once you venture into your dirt brown Christmas
pudding Puddy Holly bath, as delicious as it might smell, you'll perhaps be left wondering if colourless water is such a bad thing after
all. The only potentially disappointing products here are the Bucks Fizz scented glob of frustration that is Champagne Snow Showers
Shower Jelly, its matching shrapnel packed Christmas Party Bath Ballistic, and the fruit and licorice Bob Soap (found here without its
sloppy red wax shell, instead presented as a forest green cube that secretes golden brown slime as if this were one of its natural
biological functions.) All in, though, these few flaws can't take away from what is otherwise a magnificent collection of excellent
products, and this in a keepsake storage box that will no doubt come in handy for many Christmases to come.
