I have been asked by my two teenage sons to give Christians ideas for them, so that they can buy me a little something! A CD and book ate always on the list...but I'd like some lovely bubble bath. A girl at uni loved Fenjal..but I'm not keen...or Badabas... Radox is a bit ordinary..can't cost too much...any ideas...soap n glory, but they seem more shower gels.?!

The Mandara Spa range at Sainsburys is gorgeous (I think it's a real spa in London).

Luxurious packaging and beautiful scents especially the Amber Heaven one. Really lingers on your skin as well.

Soap and glory have a lovely smelling one, it's similar to the clean on me shower gel. Sanctuary? Or I'm sure I saw a Champneys one in Boots as well, all of those are lush!

Body shop?

Greenteandchives · 15/12/2016 20:48

There are some lovely ones at tkmaxx. I got a Neom one from there that was heavenly.

LiefieLiefie · 15/12/2016 20:55

L'Occitane do gorgeous smelling bubble bath and bath salts.

RagingSquirrel · 15/12/2016 21:10

My favourite is the Clarins blue one. It's about £20 so is a real luxury, but the smell stays on my skin (and in the bathroom after I've used it, and you don't need much). It's a very herbal smell though, so if you don't like Badedas etc, it might not be for you.

The Clarins blue one is my favourite too.
I've also got a Sen Spa one from Waitrose which smells lovely.

Some nice suggestions here and in comments...

If you can find it I love Champneys distant shores

Lorelei76 · 15/12/2016 23:17

Does Clarins blue mean Eau Ressourcething
I got given a Selfridges voucher and I was thinking to buy nice bath stuff.

takemetobrazil · 16/12/2016 06:35

It's this one Lorel

But the yellow Tonic smell is also good

Think it's the blue Clarins one l will treat myself to. Can just imagine how my ds of 17 will react....£20, what for bubble bath!!!?? But Boots have some that have been mentioned for £10 on their offer. Other than that...Sainsbury s it is xxx
Now, just have to work out a list via the iPad with links...technology is lost on me....pen and paper at the ready! Grin

That's the one - it's also available online on the Boots site (and probably in the large stores) if anyone has advantage points to use.

Lorelei76 · 16/12/2016 08:48

Thanks Brazil

starsinyourpies · 16/12/2016 08:51

Neom -TK Maxx or Amazon.

SloeGinandTonic · 16/12/2016 08:54

L'occitane have changed theirs. The lavender one. I have used it for years but the last 2 bottles have been very unbubbly with less scent. The bottle design changed but they didn't say the product has change but it has.

Waitrose do some for £1 which are good, lavender, orange. I have been using these for the past month since I gave up on l'occitane.

CrystalGlitz · 16/12/2016 08:57

Neal's Yard Aromatic Foaming Bath. Absolutely gorgeous fragrance from the essential oils, and bottle lasts for ages as you only need a little. Also currently £10 instead of £15 in Waitrose! Xmas Smile

WellTidy · 16/12/2016 10:21

I love anything from the champneys bubble bath range in boots, which is usually on 3 for 2 or £12 each. I also really like the essential Waitrose bubble baths, which are incredible for the money. They are 750 ml for about £1.15. My favourites are chamomile, bluebell and pink grapefruit. They stopped sticking them for a few months this year and I was gutted. Now they're back.

Gingefringe · 16/12/2016 11:27

Lush milky bubble bar - absolutely gorgeous smell and skin feels wonderful afterwards. A bar can be split into two or three baths.

Largemelons · 16/12/2016 11:31

Anything from Lush!
Reasonably priced, bubbly, fun and ethical.
I sound like I work there - I don't. I'd get a migraine but I adore their products.

XiCi · 16/12/2016 18:37

Please do go and smell the Clarins blue one first to make sure you like it. It's a really pungent smell so you may love it or hate it. I loathe it, and the smell sticks to you all day. I got a bottle in a gift set as a present and really didn't want to waste it but ended up binning it I hated it that much.

XiCi · 16/12/2016 18:41

What scents do you usually like? The Clarins one is very herbal, a sort of antiseptic, almost medicinal smell

Statelychangers · 16/12/2016 18:58

Origins ginger float is delicious.

canihaveacoffeeplease · 16/12/2016 19:09

Neals yard Bath soak is bloody lovely, about 12 quid I think, and so worth it. Smells fantastic, lovely small soft bubbles, and you only need a tiny bit
