Nothing says date night quite like hand-crafted cocktails! And what better way to show your partner you care this Valentine’s Day, than with a cocktail called ‘Apple Of My Eye’?

The cocktail is a delicious blend of premium gins, mixed with raspberry, apple and lemon for the perfect balance of sweet and sour.

If it's one thing most parents are deprived of, it's sleep!

This is a really special gift, that's beautifully presented and looks and feels like quality.

The Bath Box Sleep formulation from The Bath Project combines quality ingredients aimed at balancing the nervous system, relaxing the muscles, reducing tension and calming the mind.

Its purple hue has been specifically chosen because it is thought that the colour has the ability to evoke a tranquil and meditative state, while ingredients such as magnesium flakes are designed to lower blood pressure and ease muscles, in readiness for rest.

Chamomile tea, and an aromatherapy blend of Melissa and lavender, have a calming effect, while Apricot oil is believed to hydrate and soothe the skin, reducing irritation that may be heightened by stress.

The sleep box is just one of several bath boxes to choose from. Each bath box contains enough for five 100% natural therapeutic baths.

They include products that you can mix yourself as part of a beautiful pre-bath ritual, each with added healing ingredients.

There are bath boxes for: SKIN, SLEEP, SENSITIVE and LITTLE ONES.
