More than the pretty packages all tied up in tinsel and radiant bows, it’s the moment of unwrapping — that undeniable moment of surprise and joy we see on our loved ones’ faces that best captures the spirit and essence of Christmas. Here are some ideas for gifts you can wrap just to see the expressions on the recipients’ faces!

After the launch of the first ever Lush Advent Calendar, Lush introduces a selection of Christmas gifts that will be detectable with the Lush Lens feature on the #LushLabs app, an innovation developed by Lush’s in-house team of Tech Warriors.

These gifts will not feature any information about what’s inside on a tag or sticker. To discover which Naked products are inside, open up the Lush Lens feature on the Lush Labs app and get scanning. The Lush Labs app replaces the need for excess packaging with a digital solution, reducing impact on the environment. The collection will start with five Christmas gifts and five year-round ones.

When you buy a Lush gift, you’re having a positive impact on the world — you’re supporting communities and artisans who’ve made the Knot Wraps, ribbons and natural papers; and you’re buying products with beautiful ingredients that won’t cost the earth.
