L’Occitane 2018 Holiday Collection & Gift Guide

Santa stopped at my house early this year and he delivered pretty boxes filled with irresistible smelling bath and body products. If you really want to pamper the people on your holiday shopping list, stop at L’Occitane and pick up some decadent hand creams, rich lotions or luscious shower oils that delight the senses. The pretty gift sets are loaded with winter essentials to keep everyone soft, hydrated and happy all season long.

My personal favorite is The Best of L’Occitane Gift Set ($134.00) featuring the most adored scents and textures. For those yet to discover the sheer pleasure of L’Occitane, this beautifully packaged collection is a luxurious starter kit. The Almond Milk Concentrate and Almond Shower Oil have a warm heavenly fragrance and nourishing formulas that soften and moisturize dry flaky skin.

The Precious Cleansing Foam enriched with immortelle flower water envelops the face and neck in a sumptuous lather that eliminates stubborn makeup, oil, dirt, bacteria and impurities for smooth skin and clean pores.

My family cannot get through a Canadian winter without the L’Occitane Shea Butter Collection. My husband loves the healing foot balm because it soothes and refreshes achy feet while moisturizing calloused soles. The highly concentrated hand cream is infused with honey, almond and coconut oil to condition and replenish without greasiness.

The box also includes the Lavender Foaming Bath to help you unwind and relax after a long day.

Once you try a L’Occitane hand cream you’ll be hooked for life! I always have one in my purse and on Christmas morning everyone gets one in their stocking. The Hand Cream Bouquet ($54.00) includes: rose, verbena, almond, cherry blossom, shea and lavender, packaged in a gorgeous box. The fragrant formulas have a nutrient-rich blend of essential oils, butters, natural extracts and botanicals to smooth, soften, hydrate and repair dry skin, damaged nails and ragged cuticles. For men who work outdoors or with their hands, I highly recommend the shea butter treatment to alleviate chapping, peeling and roughness.

Every year my sister and I look forward to the Signature Advent Calendar ($59.00) because we open it together, taking turns to reveal the cute little treats within. It makes a magical gift and the samples are a great way to discover new favorites. I stuff a few bottles in the stockings and use the rest for weekend getaways and short trips.

These fabulous gift sets are available at L’Occitane boutiques nationwide and online at ca.loccitane.com.
