Advantages: Great inexpensive gift

Disadvantages: No longer available

As recently I have become some what obsessed with Christmas products I thought there was no point stopping!! Christmas is my favourite time of the year and I just so happen to be one of those annoying people who get engulfed with all the festivities. As soon as 1st December comes around I'm incredibly excited and the Christmas count down can finally begin! The product I will be reviewing today is a gift that I have given to other people and it has always been really popular with my friends.

Snow Fairy is of course a limited edition item and was only brought out for Christmas 2005 and 2006. I think (but don't quote me) that it has been reinvented as time as gone on but I was giving this gift as it was back in 2006 as it was a last ditch attempt to buy presents for people I had (shamefully) forgotten about! However in 2005 when it was originally brought out it had actually replaced a Lush favourite; Fairy Christmas Gift and its new name was in tribute to the Snow Fairy Shower Gel which was first launched in 2005.

Snow Fairy Contains: Christmas Carol Bath Ballistic, 100g Snow Fairy Shower Gel, 100g Angels Delight Soap

If you're looking for the perfect present for tweens and teens (and of course us adults!) who treasure all things sweet, pink and sparkly, then Snow Fairy is the only way to go. A darling little gift that suits any budget, Snow Fairy is a trio of gorgeously girlie goodies, wrapped in pink fluffiness and playfully topped with a silver jingling bell. (And the younger the gift recipient, the more they'll appreciate the sound this bell makes. You have been warned.)

Inside are two pink candy scented items, Lush's fruity bubble gum and cotton candy Snow Fairy Shower Gel (after which this gift is obviously named) and a gold glittering fuchsia and violet slice of Angels Delight Soap (which changes its style every Christmas!) Even among grown ups, Snow Fairy is often passionately regarded as one of Lush's all-time best shower gels, making for both a skin softening body wash and shampoo for all skin and hair types, while Angel's Delight is so deeply loved that it makes a guaranteed return for every Lush-ious holiday season. Is it no wonder that these are some of Lush's biggest selling products?

And what little girl doesn't want to smell like a candy shop all day long, right? In addition to all of this candy fluff, Snow Fairy Gift also contains a glittering lavender angel shaped Bath Ballistic complete with silken net wings. This Ballistic, called Christmas Carol (please see my full review on this) pairs quite well with the other more youthfully perfumed products, as it makes every girl feel grown up with its far more sophisticated scent of jasmine and vetivert. And yet, though this little angel may strike you as being a bit weak on fragrance once she hits the water (in large part because she is merely a half sized take on Lush's already subtle Fairy Jasmine Bath Ballistic), she's definitely strong on sparkly bits which you'll find all over your house (and loved ones including the dog and cat) for at least a year.

Of course, that may not sound like fun to you, but living in a world made out of fairy dust is no doubt every young girl's dream (because they're not the ones who have to clean up the mess, are they?) And surely we can agree that tracking down glittering glints for the next 365 days is a small price to pay to make a little girl's dreams come true at Christmas. However as I gave this gift to three female recipients all over the age of 21, they seemed to be absolutely delighted to feeling a bit child like again and actually get excited about opening this gift!

Snow Fairy retailed at under £15.00 but unfortunately I can't remember the exact price for it but I know its one of Lush's cheaper gifts but it just so happens to be ideally girly for most women however not so ideal if that person despises glitter as you will certainly be off their Christmas card list for the next year or so!

Summary: A great Christmas Gift!
