The Body Shop Gift Ideas

The Body Shop has been one of my favourite brands for the past ten years and it is also one of my go-to stores for amazing sales and fantastic gift sets for family and friends. I've bought so many gifts from The Body Shop and I love the makeup items I've tried too (the foundation lightener is on my wish list!). I was very kindly sent a few of their Christmas products and sets to try out!

*The Body Shop Vanilla Chai Body Sugar Scrub (£15, 250ml)

I've tried SO many scents from The Body Shop and I think this one is my all time favourite! To me it smells creamy, rich and subtly spiced, I adore it! I love sugar scrubs, especially the Lush ones although I might like this one more as it's just more convenient to use, I love the packaging and they scent is heavenly. It really exfoliates without being harsh and it leaves my skin velvety soft, smooth and it's perfect to use before shaving. There are so many gorgeous products in the scent range so when the boxing day sales come around, I'll be buying everything!

*The Body Shop British Rose Beauty Bag (£10)

The Body Shop gift sets are perfect, indulgent and safe gifts for so many people including friends and family, colleagues and secret santa recipients. I think this is one of the very few Body Shop scents that I haven't tried and it's gorgeous. Rose scented products can either be old fashioned and grandma-like and others can be fresh and divine; thankfully this range is definitely the latter - it's fresh, sweet and floral, I love it and I'm sure a lot of others will too. The Body Shop body butters are an essential for me at this time of the year (I currently have about four on the go!) and their hand creams are lovely too (this one absorbs SO quickly). I know so many friends and family members of mine would be happy to find this gift set under the tree.

*The Body Shop Spiced Apple Hand Cream (£4, 30ml)

I tried this gorgeous hand cream last year and I'm so glad to have another and I used up my tube a couple of months ago. I love the packaging, it's great on the go and it smells so good - I love anything that has a food scent to it! The hand cream and body butters don't irritate my eczema and they are so moisturising without being heavy or greasy on the skin. The Body Shop hand cream and body butters would make fantastic stocking fillers.

*The Body Shop Frosted Cranberry Body Butter 

I can't find this body butter on The Body Shop website but you might be able to find it in-stores. It is rich, thick and very moisturising even for my dry skin. It also has a lovely sweet, fruity and festive scent that smells really nostalgic to me! It contains cranberry seed oil and community fair trade shea butter from Ghana. I can't recommend The Body Shop body butter enough!

Have you tried any of these products? What do you think of The Body Shop's Christmas products and gifts this year?
