Burr Baskets: The Ultimate Personalized Gift Idea

As the days grow shorter and colder, there’s something magical about receiving a thoughtful bundle of curated gifts. At Lush, we’re experts in creating unforgettable gifts, and Burr Baskets are the perfect way to bring joy, comfort, and a personal touch to your loved ones this holiday season. Let us help you design a Burr Basket that will delight anyone on your holiday list!

What is a Burr Basket?

A Burr Basket is similar to a holiday stocking but with a special twist! Filled with small, meaningful items chosen with care, these baskets are a personalized gift idea that lets you show loved ones just how well you know them. From cozy self-care treats to favorite snacks or small tokens that celebrate shared memories, Burr Baskets are about creating a unique experience the recipient will treasure—and want to tell others about.

What to put in a Burr Basket

Building a Burr Basket with Lush products is all about crafting a meaningful experience. Our team of gifting experts has handpicked some of our most-loved items to make gift-giving effortless and thoughtful:

• Self-Care Essentials: Lush bath bombs are perfect for transforming any bath into a luxurious experience. Pair them with a relaxing face mask like Mask Of Magnaminty for a spa-like touch or add a Dream Cream Body Lotion to keep winter skin feeling soft and hydrated.
• Aromatherapy: For a comforting fragrance that fills the room, add one of our Lush candles, melts or a pot of Sleepy Body Lotion. Soothing scents and rich moisturizers will bring warmth and calm to any evening.
• Eco-Friendly Accessories: Add a Lush Knot Wrap for a sustainable, reusable way to bundle it all together or add a wrap as an added item for your basket.

How many items should go in a Burr Basket?

There’s no set rule—Burr Baskets can be as simple or as elaborate as you’d like! For a thoughtful gift, a few high-quality, well-chosen items can go a long way. Whether you’re working within a budget or going big, the key is to choose items that speak to the recipient’s personality and tastes.

How to make a Burr Basket in three simple steps

Choose a theme: Think about what the recipient enjoys—self-care rituals, fragrant essentials, or cozy winter skincare. A theme helps the basket feel cohesive and highlights your thoughtfulness in each item chosen.

Gather your Lush faves: Select a few items from our range of bath bombs, scented candles, body lotions, face masks, and more. For example, you could create a cozy self-care set with a lavender-scented bath bomb, a massage bar, and a relaxing body lotion.

Presentation matters: Arrange everything in a lovely basket or a Lush Knot Wrap. Add final touches like a festive ribbon, a small dried flower bouquet, or a handwritten note to give it a personal touch.
