My boyfriend loves Lush bathbombs...and I really wanted to surprise him with a few when he's coming home again in a few weeks (right now he lives pretty isolated in this tiny garden cottage in nowheresville as he's finishing his graduation project). Howeverrrrrrr Lush is expensive, even more...

I would love to add shimmery flakes/sparkles to my bath bombs/melts etc, as an extra visual treat and to add sparkle to my baths, but I don't really want to dump a teaspoon of plastic down the drain each time I take a bath... So I'm looking for a (slightly better) alternative to plastic...
