You might know Lush as the inventor of the bath bomb, but there’s more to us than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes, and demonstrates that capitalism can be a force for good. We fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that what’s inside counts - whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

Handmade is at the heart of Lush. So, when it comes to our gifting ranges we really do want to knock our customers' socks off! Every Lush gift comes with a story, and we love to celebrate the uniqueness of each gift we create. These are often around innovative materials we have used, new ways of reusing packaging, and collaborations with wonderful artists from across the world. Our customers love to hear these stories so we make a big effort to share them. Often they will feature on our website, be shared through our staff in stores or celebrated with bespoke gift tags. We’re not manufacturing throwaway fillers but keepsakes that we hope our customers will treasure.

We would love to invite you to design a Knot Wrap in our global knot wrap competition. Knot Wrap is the perfect alternative to wrapping paper, they are reusable and sustainable fabric gift-wraps. Made from organic cotton or recycled plastic bottles – wear them, reuse them or frame them!

We invite you to design a Knot Wrap for our 2027 all year round knot wrap collection. Please note we do not want to receive product suggestions - we are looking for a design only.

We would love to review all of your work, but due to high interest, please submit your single strongest design.

Please include an accessible Google Drive link to your design within the personal summary section of your application. (If you experience any issues, please reach out to gifts.talent.pool@lush.co.uk)
