A peek inside the Burt's Bees Celebration Bag.
View of the bag
The disemboweled bag
I'm not sure what counts as what, but here's a list of the contents:
- Lip Shimmer in Merlot
- Lip Shimmer in Toffee
- Super Shiny Lip Gloss in Zesty Red (!)
- Beeswax Lip Balm
- 2.5 oz Radiance Body Lotion
- Natural Body Wash for Men
- Herbal Milk Bath packet
- Buttermilk Milk Bath packet
- Therapeutic Bath Crystals packet
- Travel-size Buttermilk Soap bar
- Travel-size Poison Ivy Soap bar
- Travel-size Peppermint Shower Soap bar
- Travel-size Citrus Spice Exfoliating Soap bar
- Travel-size Peppermint Foot Lotion
- Travel-size Orange Essence Facial Cleanser
- Travel-size Shea Butter Hand Repair Creme
- Travel-size Hand Salve tin
- Travel-size Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey & Orange Wax lotion
- Travel-size jar of Radiance Day Creme
- Mini loofah thing
- Scented sleep mask
- Round clear-with-red-trim wristlet
- Foam lip balm cozy w/carabiner (I know, weird)
- Yet another lip balm (this one from using an extra promo code)
Considering that those tinted lip glosses run for about $4-5 each, this strikes me as a pretty good deal. Yeah, I'm sure these were items they needed to clear out of their warehouse or leftover promo things, but still, it's fun and smelly! My cubicle is already starting to smell like a gift shoppe.

Burt's Bees Celebration Bag, $25.
Burt's Bees is famous for their super-cute little toiletry kits stuffed full of tiny lotions, cremes, lip balms, shampoos, soaps, and more. They're not exactly cheap, but the Gift Bag Principle ("the excitement of a festively wrapped gift set is greater than the sum total of the excitement caused by its individual components") is in full effect.
To celebrate their 25th anniversary, you can get their Celebration Bag for $25, which includes 3 regular-sized lip products, 12 mini-sized products, and 4 special gifts! Get free shipping with promo code HIVEBDAY, and use coupon code WELCOME to get a free lip balm.
The Easter Bunny put a little green in my basket this year, so I think I might go for this one! It's been too long since I had a beauty splurge... far too long.

Burt's Bees lip balm giveaway - now more random.
"The giveaway starts anytime between 9 a.m. and 12 noon EDT but no one knows exactly when! To equal the odds and give you the fairest chance at a free balm, we've randomized the giveaway to start anytime between 9 a.m. and 12 noon EDT. It could be anytime. For instance -- it may be 9:15 AM one day, 10:25 AM the next, or 11:51 AM the day after! We don't know either - and that's what makes it fun! And if you don't get it one day, you'll get your chance. The balm giveaway goes through June 20, 2009."
So now they're forcing you to keep checking back and refreshing your browser all morning until their "randomizer" starts the daily allotment. This has some sinister overtones to me, but I guess it's fairer than just screwing the West Coast every day. Anyway, you have about two more weeks to score a free lip balm, so go to it.

Burt's Bees Premium Grab Bag is back!
You may not like every single thing that comes in the grab bag, but there are so many items that it's perfect for splitting up into several small gift bags, or stocking stuffers to go along with bigger presents. I still don't think I've used everything that I got from the last one! There really was a ton of stuff, plus the excitement of the surprise.
Right now, shipping is $5, but they often seem to run promo codes for free shipping that coincide with these grab bags, so if I see one floating around, I'll let you know.

Burt's Bees: $25 grab bag, free moisturizing kit with $30 purchase.
This Overnight Bee-uty Bag fits the bill, at $6 (originally $15), a cute little makeup bag stuffed with travel-size beauty products. Or this Purse Pack, for $7.50, which comes stuffed with your choice of four lip balms.
Valentine's Day is coming, and what better gift than keeping your loved one's lips smoochably soft?
(Thanks, Mom!)

Ugh, the more I think about that name, the less I like it, and not just because that umlaut character was a pain in the butt to insert.
