Carex Strawberry Laces Hand Gel

Strawberry Laces
Strawberry Laces

It’s so many years since I had strawberry laces but they’ve got such good memories for me. When my brother was born, my sister and I got given some to eat for the journey on the way to the hospital to say hello to our new brother. I remember that my grandpa drove over bumps in the road (rural Scotland) so that the car actually flew a bit and we were beside ourselves, giggling with excitement. Strawberry laces, a flying car and a new brother all in one go! Too much – and I’m pretty sure my mum would have been livid if she knew about the flying over bumps bit. And the laces probably.

So while the strawberry lace ‘flavour’ doesn’t entirely over-ride the other less lovely smells associated with hand sanitizing gels, it’s such a cool idea – there’s also  bubblegum, chocolate orange and strawberry laces varieties  for the Carex Handwashes – that’s brought a smile to my face today (and some strawberry laces came with it, so it’s a win all the way!). The handwash is on offer at Boots for 92p! The Carex Strawberry Laces Hand Gel is at Superdrug for £1.45 (and I spotted it at Tesco yesterday).

    I’m a sucker for unusual hand sanitizers so I’ll definitely look out for this one. I’m already addicted to the Carex cola bottles handwash. Strangely enough I’ve never been that big a fan of eating cola bottles but I can’t get enough of the cola fragranced handwash (to wash my hands with, not eat!)

      Spotted the Carex Strawberry Laces Hand Gel in Tesco this evening. It smells yum and doesn’t knock you out with a whiff of pure alcohol like a lot of hand sanitizers do. I’d like to say that the smell takes me back to my childhood but the sad reality is that I’ve never actually outgrown strawberry laces! It’s lovely that you have such vivid and happy memories though, Jane, prompted by that particular fragrance.

      Sweet little product and a nice consolation when I’m running low of my beloved (US) Bath & Body Works anti-bac hand gels which are my all time fave, so thanks!

  2. I’ve used both the Strawberry Laces Handwash and the Cola Bottle Handwash, both smell incredible and people who have stayed over have all commented on how lovely (by lovely I mean frikken Awesome!!!) it smells.

    It really does smell exactly how you’d imagine, not synthetic at all…seriously it’s so good, almost good enough to eat, but I won’t, don’t worry. Been there done that.

  3. I love anything sweet smelling so I’ll definitely be looking out for this 🙂
