Badgered - Pill Bottle and Bath Bomb Bundle
Celebrate the wild magic of Britain’s iconic badger with our limited-edition Badgered Bundle, combining poetic doses and a badger-inspired bath experience.
The bundle includes:
- Badgered Poetry Pills – pocket-sized bottles of new poetic extracts, drawn from Wild Writing workshops, celebrating the mystery, resilience, and nocturnal grace of the badger.
- Badgered Bath Bomb – a fizzing, citrus-scented woodland remedy created in collaboration with Lush, offering a restorative moment of calm and connection to the wild.
£1.50 from each bath bomb and 50% of the price of each poetry pill go directly to the Badger Trust, supporting their vital work protecting badgers, their habitats, and their future.
A perfect gift for poetry lovers and nature enthusiasts alike, the Badgered Bundle offers moments of reflection, self-care, and solidarity with one of Britain’s most remarkable mammals.
With thanks to Lush for collaborating on this woodland-inspired bath bomb.

Christmas Spirit
Before the ice is in the pools —
Before the skaters go,
Or any check at nightfall
Is tarnished by the snow —
Before the fields have finished,
Before the Christmas tree,
Wonder upon wonder
Will arrive to me!
