It felt like Christmas morning the other day when a big box containing a selection of The Body Shop’s Christmas gifting selection arrived and I thought I’d share the joy in a last-minute bid to make Santa’s ‘nice’ list.

First up, if you’re a fan of all three of The Body Shop’s new limited edition Christmas variants but can’t decide which you love best or know someone in the same boat then these are the dudes you’ll want to know about…

…along with these guys –

If, however, you’re in a committed relationship with one of the variants – Frosted Berry, Spiced Apple or Vanilla Chai – then you can shoot for the big kahuna – a big ole’ apple-shaped bauble called Classic Picks (R300), available in each of the three limited edition lines.

Keen to see what’s inside?

The scrub is lovely stuff in that it’s got a good granule to ‘liquid’ ratio so it’ll do a good job of sloughing off dead skin and, even though it’s got oil in the mix, it doesn’t leave you feeling like an oil slick. (That’s a pet hate of mine by the way. I’ve been known to shower with Sunlight dish soap after using certain scrubs in a bid to get rid of the oil they’ve left on my skin!)

Moving on, it’s time to say ‘hey’ to the Santa sponge set (R150)…

If you managed to make it into Santa’s good books you’ll find he’s happy to open up and reveal that not only is he a bath sponge, but he’s got two fruitalicious shower gels with your name on it.

I’m not really a sponge person but I’m glad to have Meneer Claus in my possession as I know he’s going to go down well with my doggies as a festive chew toy. This probably isn’t what The Body Shop had in mind while creating their sunny-wearing Santa but hey, I love shower gel and my doggies love to rip stuff up so this is a win-win if you’re me.

Keen to see more?

Last, but not least we’ve got these cute li’l Christmas cubes (R120 each).

It’s attached to a bath lily nestling with a mini body lotion and shower gel.

See anything you’d like to stick under the tree this Christmas? This is a mere smattering of what’s available right now so to view the full collection its best you step into your nearest store. The Body Shop is also running a great promo right now, right up until the 24th, that sees you buying any 3 products but only paying for 2 with the cheapest being free. Niiiice!

Love, love
