Holly Jolly Christmas


Phew! And my holiday tour of amazing bath & body care ideas wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Bath & Body Works. Something about that store come Christmastime brings out my inner Christmas spirit – it must be all the shimmery body lotions and cellophane-wrapped gift sets, I don’t know, it just feels like you’ve entered into the body care portion of Santa’s Workshop. If you’re still working to knock a few names off your Christmas list this year (and it seems like so many people I know are), let this be one of your pit stops with these five fab ideas!

Mini Shimmer Brushes

Signature Collection Mini Shimmer Brushes – $12.50 each
Truth be told Bath & Body Works is killer for grabbing stocking stuffers – they’ve got goodies as low as $3 and tons of great deals. I thought these little brushes were a funky twist I hadn’t seen anywhere else this season – simply uncap ’em and dust on a light sprinkling of fairy dust to give your skin a festive shimmer, with a hint of your favourite scent. A cool gift that goes well beyond the holidays, particularly because the fragrances come from Bath & Body Works’ regular collection – meaning you can also use this to intro someone to what might just be their new favourite smell!

Sleep Gift Sets

Sleep Mini Lambie Gift Set – $15 & Deluxe Lambie Gift Set – $40
Want to help a loved one get some shuteye? Gift them with one of these snuggly, rest-inducing aromatherapy gift sets featuring the honey vanilla scent of the aptly titled ‘Sleep’. The pint-sized gift is a perfect stocking stuffer or sweet choice for your sister-in-law, and includes an adorable ‘Lambie’ ornament to trim the tree. Meanwhile the luxury collection has a storage tray perfect for the bedside table, three full-sized goodies at a bargain price, and an ultra plush sleep mask to truly knock you out.

Bath & Body Works Lip Gloss Sets

I ♥ Twisted Peppermint Gift Set – $18.50 & C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint Gift Set – $19.50
Everyone loves to pucker up under the mistletoe with fresh breath and frosty lips – particularly when enhanced with a touch of peppermint. The question is: what’s your priority? Tasty variations on the minty fresh theme? Or sumptuous sheer shades to match your ensemble? Bath & Body Works has two gift sets to suit both dilemmas. Get a tube of the classic Twisted Peppermint lip gloss alongside two exclusive, limited-edition flavours: Twisted Peppermint Cocoa & Twisted Peppermint Berry in this cute candy cane-themed box. Or go for the C.O. Bigelow package, which includes five hint-of-tint lip hues that flatter any skin tone, and provide that crave-worthy tingly, minty feeling.

Slatkin & Co 3-Wick Candles

Slatkin & Co 3-Wick Candles – $20 each
My sister is totally obsessed with these long-burning, potent-smelling candles and for good reason! Not only do they smell amazing, there always seems to be a new scent to try out – including this bevy of holiday classics. From the more abstract ‘Tis The Season’ (which smells like a festive blend of apples, cinnamon, and pine for the record) to the sugary sweet ‘Winter Candy Apple’, these make a perfect gift for that hard-to-buy-for person on your list – or as a swell hostess gift come Christmas eve. Be sure to beef up your gift with one of the way-cool candle accessories, like a snowflake sleeve to dress up your flickering flame.

I Heart Collections

I ♥ Gift Sets – $21.50 each
When it comes to holiday scents, Bath & Body Works practically has things down to a science. Since I began this blog two and a half years ago, I’ve written about their holiday collections every year, and once again their signature, limited-time-only scents are Winter Candy Apple, Vanilla Bean Noel, and Twisted Peppermint. While I’ve already talked about the latter in this post, I wanted to quickly point you in the direction of these cute gift sets in two other Holiday Favourites. I love ’em for two reasons. First, they contain two pint-sized, must-have body care products in each set, including lotion, lip gloss, and pocketbac. Second, they’re actually a little different from one another – so if say, you’ve got two nieces to buy for, they’ll each get their own individual gift without breaking the bank or inciting envy. The Vanilla Bean Noel set includes a luxurious pair of elf-inspired shea-infused socks, while the Winter Candy Apple set has a Scentportable fragrance holder to keep your home or vehicle smelling delish.

Vanilla Bean and Twisted Peppermint

Of course, what would a Holly Jolly Christmas be without some sort of giveaway? I’ve got two five-piece gift sets to share with the masses (or at least, two of you) – one in Vanilla Bean Noel, one in Twisted Peppermint. Here’s how to enter:

1) Check out the Gifts section of the Bath & Body Works website and tell me in the comments below which item (or items) you’d most like to gift or receive! You’ve got till January 2nd to make your picks. 

2) Entries are limited to one per person / per email address / per household (or more if you score bonus entries). A random draw will be conducted on or around January 3rd to select the winner, who will have 48 hours to respond before another winner is chosen in their place.

3) Entries are limited to Canadians that have reached the age of majority in their province. Quebec is not eligible to participate in this promotion.

4) Bonus Entry: Like Bath & Body Works Canada on Facebook & leave a comment to say hello to earn yourself a bonus entry. Please note you’re under no obligation to mention the CGG – in fact I’d much rather see you say something awesome about Bath & Body Works products!

    I would love to receive the Calm gift set …. everyone could use a little Calm every now and then. I would most like to gift the Twisted candle to each of my three best girlfriends. We have known each other since high school (over 33 years) and we still get together at least every other month. I think even they would say we’re all a little twisted LOL
