I'm talking about 1970s-1980s soap and talc style gift sets. This is driving me mad trying to remember...a particular brand, always around at Christmas...
It's not:
Woods of Windsor
Morny
Crabtree and Evelyn.

Any ideas on this vague conundrum of mine?

I remember in the 90s Boots did en ‘elements’ range of bubble baths - earth was green, air’s light blue, fire’s red, water’s was dark blue. I was obsessed with them!

Nope. Maybe I've imagined it. Grin I have just bought some Fenjal and Bronnley off the back of this thread though!

Pears soap?

Maybe if you describe the packaging then we can narrow it down - ie ruby colours with gold writing V country floral types. What shape was the soap and was it wrapped or plain?

If they were sort of egg shaped it was Bronnley. I remember the smell of the lemon one.

God yes, there was Kiku, Babe and possibly one called Tigress or something? I so wanted one! Packaging- not posh, kind of like Morny, you'd get it in Boots rather than a department store. Different colours for different fragrances. A bubble bath, couple of bath cubes, a few little soaps and always talc. I think there was a lemon, a blue coloured one. I've been googling 1970s bath cubes for days!
