AS September comes to an end, the shop shelves are already filling up with Christmas products.
Lush on Buchanan Street was the first of the brands stores in Scotland to have the 2024 Christmas range to launch on Wednesday September 25, and we were invited down for a first look.
In 2023, the store sold the second most amount of Christmas products so it seems only right Glasgow shoppers got to see the products, which ranges from face cleansers to fragrances, first.

Their beloved Snow Fairy scent, with notes of bubble-gum, banana, pear drops, musk, vanilla and candy floss, is eagerly anticipated each year and fans won't be disappointed with the variety of products on offer in the store.
This year, there are brand new additions to the range such as four new shower gels including one with 13 times more glitter than the original and a sparkling pink shampoo that may give some shades of hair a subtle pink glow.
There's event a giant Snow Fairy shower jelly that costs £45 and comes in a huge bucket which was attracting plenty of attention.
Making my way round the new items, I found plenty more inspiration for fun Christmas gifts (and treats for myself) in the form of festive bath bombs, shower jellies and marshmallow textured body washes.
I hadn't tried the jiggling shower jellies before was intrigued by the display of fun designs which lets customers poke and prod at them to their heart's content.
A peppermint scented marshmallow body wash also caught my attention and is something I know I'll be back for as a gift.

The amount of new products was a little overwhelming so if you're going for a look I'd give yourself plenty time - I'm sure I missed a few items so look forward to heading back for a stroll around the shop.
As always in Lush, there were also plenty staff around to answer any questions and offer demonstrations of the products.
On the first floor, there is also the selection of pre-wrapped Christmas gift sets and advent calendars that make their appearance each year.
Alongside their two advent calendars, this year sees the brands first ever advent calendar refill for those who have purchased them in the past and still have the box which I think is a great idea.
The refill is made with recycling, reusability and sustainability in mind and includes 25 products.
The instore Plant Blonde has also got into the festive spirit with vegan Snow Fairy empire biscuits for sale.
The Christmas range isn't the only exciting addition to the store however with a wide range of Halloween products on sale, including a Beetlejuice range, and 12 new fragrances.
So, if you're needing inspired for gift ideas it's definitely worth a look.
The flagship Lush store opened it's doors in December last year, boasting a spa, shampoo bar, in-store party space and a Plant Blonde outlet.
Lush is located at 98 Buchanan Street.
