The Regeneration gift set from Lush UK (yes, another Lush lemming!): "The perfumes in this gift set each use a regenerative ingredient from around the world, each with a story to tell. From the Tonka in Vanillary to the Rose in Rose Jam, Jasmine in Lust or Patchouli in Lord Of Misrule. Wear a story with a spritz of these fine fragrances." Four 15 ml bottles, £49. (More choices: the Retrospective set has Pansy, Dirty, Breath Of God and Karma for the same price, or if you have £99, you can get the Renaissance set with Sappho, Nero, Confetti and Frangipani.)
The daily lemming
Lush Labs UK body sprays I wouldn't mind trying: Sparkly Pumpkin (juniperberry, lime and grapefruit), Ectoplasm (tangerine, grapefruit and litsea cubeba), Space Girl (grapefruit, bergamot and violets), Mamma Mia (bergamot, rosewood and vanilla) and Winter Garden (ylang ylang, benzoin and bergamot). £20 - 25 for 200 ml at Lush UK.
The daily lemming
My latest shower gel want: Roasting Chestnuts On An Open Fire, out now at Lush UK. I'm sure it's on its way to the US, right? Right? "This marzipan scented Christmas shower gel will calm skin with soothing oat milk and chestnut purée, and help to make the season bright."
The (almost) daily lemming
Running low on shower gel? (Drowning in shower gel?) You probably need Lush Very Very Frightening. "Shivers down your spine? Body aching all the time? Just hop in the shower with our new lemony-fresh sudser. Very Very Frightening hits with a thunderbolt and lightning of grapefruit and bergamot, sharing its scent with old favorite, Space Girl Bath Bomb. Meanwhile, antioxidant-rich safflower petal infusion and soothing, regenerative plantain extract keeps the skin terrifyingly soft. Put aside a couple of these devils for yourself before they disappear!" $9.95 - $39.95.

Catching up on some brand videos we’ve missed while I’ve been showcasing gardens: first we have How to Use Bubble Bars from Lush, followed by (below the jump) Lily-Rose Depp doing a voiceover for Chanel’s I Am A Chanel Flower (about Grasse jasmine), then Cooking with the Gucci Osteria Chefs: Karime López Makes Gyoza Dumplings (if you click through to YouTube you’ll find the printed recipe, and there are a few more cooking demos on their YouTube channel), followed by We’re All In This Together from Hugo Boss. Last up, from Bvlgari, how to make a Tea Cocktail (again, if you click through to YouTube you’ll find the printed recipe, plus their channel has a few other home activity videos).
