After we’re done with our Thanksgiving travels, and the big meal’s been reduced to leftovers and cold turkey sandwiches, it’s natural to begin planning for the next big holiday — that is, Christmas. An whether we’re taking a Christmas vacation or not, most of us love to get gifts for our friends and relatives. The Vacation Gals’ latest contest giveaway is brought to you by our favorite organic bath and body shop, Lush. The Christmas Star gift package is only available during the holiday season; winning this contest giveaway might make it tempting for the Lush aficionado to keep the Christmas Star for him or herself!
The Christmas Star includes six bath bombs, in a pretty star-shaped box. Three of the bath bombs are among my favorites; Avobath, Big Blue, and Honey Bee. The other three Lush bath bombs are made seasonally, and just for the holidays. They are So White, Cinders, and Jingle Spells. Now, I love taking long, relaxing baths with add-ins like Lush bath bombs. It’s almost like a mini-vacation, or an hour’s getaway. To enter and try to win the Lush Christmas Star contest giveaway, simply leave a comment below describing your favorite way to “get away from it all,” if only for a couple of hours. The winner will be chosen at random, and relatives of The Vacation Gals should not enter. U.S. mailing addresses only. Good luck — the contest ends at 6PM (PST) Tuesday, December 1, and the winner will be announced Wednesday, December 2, 2009.
