It's early for a cocktail, but still, this got me thinking: "Jasmine syrup by Bacanha is an aromatic concentrate of flowers from this famous plant. Its sweet and flowery aroma combines with its exceptional scent. Raw jasmine syrup will be perfect for your tea, iced tea, lemonade, mocktail and cocktail preparations." $13 for 400 ml at Beautyhabit, where they also have Organic Raw Basil syrup, plus two syrup gift sets (Lemon Life, with Bergamot, Yuzu and Lime; or Cocktail Tonic, with Ginger, Mojito and Rose).

The daily lemming
New stuff from Lush UK that I hope gets to the US soon: Sweet Wild Orange Hand Balm ("Sublimely orange scented, refresh and cool with this hard working hand cream. Suitable for everyone, the glycerine and aloe formula will moisturise and repair the skin"; £12 for 100g) and Posh Chocolate Body Wash ("This deliciously self-centred chocolate body wash is packed with aloe vera and glycerine to soften and hydrate delicate skin"; £8 for 100g or £15 for 225g). Both products come in tubs. Also new-ish for the holiday season, Jolly Shower Gel ("Imagine taking all the smells of Christmas—the citrus, the spice and everything nice—and turning it into a shower gel. A Jolly thought, isn't it?") and Jilted Elf Body Spray ("Keep Jilted Elf on a shelf or somewhere close by when you need a quick spritz of its energizing grapefruit, cinnamon and ginger aroma").
