BOOTS
TOILETRIES
Boots'
range of toiletries was particularly extensive,
and included soapdishes, bubble baths holders, shaving
utensils and more. Many were produced exclusively for
the store by a company called Euromark. Here's an
initial selection:
• Close Shave razor holder
A plastic holder for your razor, with a
suitably
foamed up Wallace and Gromit.
• Close Shave shaving bowl and brush
A plastic bowl for your shaving foam, with
a shaped
lid featuring Wallace, Gromit and Shaun
submerged in
foam, and packaged with a traditional shaving brush.
• Shaving Mirror
The packaging identified this as being - deep
breath - a
"Wallace & Gromt Free-standing
Magnifying Shaving Mirror"
But regardless of the hyperbole, this was
a fantastic
sculpted mirror, depicting Wallace's Auto-Ablutions
machine (patent pending).
• Close Shave toothbrush holder
This extravagant piece was made of moulded
plastic, and
featured Wallace and Gromit on their motorbike,
straight
out of the film. Gromit holds your toothbrush
for you!
• Feathers McGraw toothbrush holder
Another holder here, with your toothbrush
becoming the
areial on Feathers' remote control...
• Feathers McGraw soapdish
A plastic penguin-shaped dish, flat on the
back so you
could place it by your bath and sink. Feathers'
tummys
was hollowed out to allow for the soap bar.
• Shaun the Sheep soapdish
A plastic sheep-shaped dish, fashioned after
Shaun,
with a bar of soap in his back.
• Rocket nailbrush
A bright chunky nailbrush fashioned after
the spaceship
from "A Grand Day Out".
• Wallace nailbrush
Wallace was presented with his snorkel and
flippers, atop
another nailbrush.
• Gromit nailbrush
Gromit was kitted out with his rubber ring,
again, in
nailbrush form.
Both the Wallace and Gromit nailbrushes
were also
available as bath plugs!
