Sparkled Beauty

I always love The Body Shop holiday sets. Sure I can easily whip up a gift pack for friends with individual products in my stash but can't beat the cute packaging of pre-packaged gifts and the saving value.

If you are looking for some gift ideas, here are a few of what The Body Shop offers this year.

Cute as a button is the Strawberry Treats gift cube, $10 (or 2/ $15) with mini bath and body treats scented with fruity strawberry.

You get a shower gel (60ml, left), a body puree (60ml, right) and a red mini crinkle bath lily (back), great for stocking stuffer/ traveling. I kinda want this cube just to try out the body puree.

The box has festive printing and words, and a ribbon to hang on the tree as well, depending on the strength of the branches :) Check first before you hanging up.

Also available in Coconut, Mango, Moringa, Olive, Pink Grapefruit, Satsuma, Shea and Wild Argan oil. Lots to choose from, if the person you are gifting (or yourself) prefers some other scents than Strawberry.

For a quick girly gift, you can grab the Coconut beauty bag, $15, filled with mini (Community Fair Trade) organic coconut scented treats - a shower cream (60ml), a hand cream (30ml), a body butter (50ml) and a cream mini crinkle bath lily.

I like the presentation of the product through the clear mesh opening. Put a bow on it and you are all set. Can totally reuse/ re-purpose the bag too.

The Body Shop's Coconut scent is quite light and refreshing. The beauty bag is also available in Mango, Moringa, Olive, Pink Grapefruit, Satsuma, Shea, Strawberry  and Wild Argan oil.

This next gift set - Pink Grapefruit Festive picks, $25 - comes with zingy pink grapefruit scented goodies housed in a very festive printed box, with a ribbon bow already attached. And check out that corally pink colour, definitely a keeper :)

Inside are a shower gel (250ml, full size), a body butter (50ml), a body scrub (50ml), a soap (100g) and a cream mini bath lily. A full bath experience!

Also available in Coconut, Strawberry, Mango, Moringa, Olive, Satsuma, Shea and Wild Argan oil.

There is one more gift set that requires serious commitment. To the brand that is :) However, you can always slit it up for stocking stuffer or for different friends (but keep the box, lol).

Created for huge fans of The Body Shop, the Moringa Ultimate Luxuries, $55, is one of the most indulgent body gifts yet. Moringa happens to be one of my favorite scents there, so I am super happy to receive this bundle of joy!

A muted lime green round tub, same beautiful words with added festive prints on the top, and a light blue ribbon bow that sits nicely where the lid opens. Eye pleasing enough? Wait until you see what's inside :)

Indulged in the floral temptation of Moringa, you get 3 (full sized) moisturizers in this set - from a light body sorbet (200ml), a silky beautifying oil (100ml) to a thicker body butter (200ml), plus a shower gel (250ml, full size), a body scrub (50ml) and a EDT (30ml). Ultimate pampering, I'd say!

The body sorbet is always excluded from any promotions at The Body Shop, so it's always nice to get it in a set.

Also available in 3 other scents - Coconut, Shea and Strawberry.

This year, The Body Shop teams up with War Child, the global charity for children affected by war, to grant children the wish of education. For every specially selected gift sold (like the ones in this post), The Body Shop will make a contribution of approximately 7 cents to War Child that funds a class for a child.
