The Body Shop 2018 Holiday Collection and Gift Guide

When it comes to simple gift giving, no one does it better than The Body Shop. Even last minute shoppers can walk into a delicious smelling store and emerge with an armful of beautifully packaged presents for everyone on their list. The company has done an excellent job creating gift sets that feature bestsellers and delightful new scents so today I’m sharing my top picks to help make your job a bit easier.

The Strawberry Festive Picks Gift Set ($28.00) is packaged in a beautiful red box and comes with a bath puff, shower gel, bar soap, body polish and body butter to replenish dry skin. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love strawberries so this gift is great for all the ladies on my list.

For those dealing with rough winter skin, the Berry Bon Bon Body Scrub ($22.00) is here to save the day! Enriched with cranberry seeds from North America, organic cane sugar from Paraguay and Brazil nut oil from Peru, this exfoliating jam-like jelly buffs away flaky patches with ease. 

If I had to choose one amazing set for myself it would be the Peppermint Candy Cane Delight Festive Sack ($29.00) and I wouldn’t even wrap it. The cute burlap bag is stuffed with shower gel, body butter, body scrub and hand cream that smell like Christmas morning!

For those who love a good face mask (which is literally everyone), don’t miss out on the incredible Facial Mask Duo ($40.00). The Himalayan Charcoal enriched with tea tree oil purifies the skin by eliminating dirt, oil, makeup and pollutants trapped deep in the pores. I’ve been using it all year to keep my face clear and blemish-free. The British Rose Gel Mask with real flower petals and organic aloe vera helps smooth, plump and moisturize for a youthful complexion.

The Enchanting Body Butter Trio is just $15.00 so everyone can get a luscious cream in their stocking this year. The set comes with Almond Milk & Honey, Mango and Coconut which smell scrumptious! I usually pack these for vacation since the non-greasy formula alleviates dry skin and makes a great hand or foot cream.

Forest Retreat ($18.00) includes a bit of everything for a pampering spa day. Inside you'll find a Fuji green tea shower gel, wild argan body scrub, banana shampoo and body butter - cute gifts for friends, family, colleagues and teachers.

If you’re hosting Christmas dinner and want your home to smell inviting, set the mood with a festive candle. Enchanted Forest ($22.00) is infused with essential pine oil to evoke the scent of fresh fir trees.

I can't share my holiday faves without including some pretty lipstick. The Lip Liquid Parade ($50.00) comes with 3 creamy matte shades for all skin tones, 2 sheer glosses that smell like candy and a roll case for travel. The lipsticks are smooth, creamy, vivid and highly pigmented with enough moisture to protect your pout all season.

All of the products I’ve mentioned so far are awesome but if you really want to heal dry skin for good, treat yourself to a Spa of the World Escape Gift Set ($50.00). The African Ximenia Body Scrub is enriched with beeswax, natural oil from Namibia, gentle exfoliating beads and velvety butters that condition, seal in moisture and slough away roughness. After a warm shower slather on the Japanese Camellia Body Cream. The rich texture rejuvenates and transforms dull skin from flaky to silky.

These products are available online at thebodyshop.ca but since Christmas is only a few days away, it is quicker buy them in-store.
