The Body Shop Holiday 2011- Candied Ginger & Cranberry Joy

The Body Shop's Cranberry is probably my all time favorite bath gel ever. I've been using it since it came out which has been at least 10 years I think.  Every year I hope they bring it back and so far they have.

Called Cranberry Joy this season, it still smells amazing and is available in a wide product range as well as those fun gift sets, which I've given as gifts an equally long time , making my friends very happy.

New  this year is the Candied Ginger scent. Candied Ginger is zesty ,  a little fruity and a little spicy - not baked goods ginger like gingerbread.  It's  slightly sweet,  fizzy  and very delish.


Candied Ginger along with the 3rd holiday scent Spiced Vanilla , also comes in  all the great Body Shop products. I'm partial to the shower gels ( $ 8.00),  hand cream ( $ 4.00), lip balms ( $ 6.00 and sooo moisturizing on lips) and shimmer lotions ( $ 12.00), which have just a little shimmer , loads of scent and plenty of moisture. 

Candied Ginger Gift Set $ 45.00


All are made with Community Fair Trade program ingredients.

The Body Shop Holiday will  be in stores and online in November.

The Body Shop Body Butter Duos

The Body Shop Body Butters just got one better. They're now a duo.  Four new scents come in a double sided ying/yang pot with one side for normal skin, the other dry skin. The normal skin side is a thinner lotion and the dry skin side is more of the butter like consistency. Scents are : Vanilla, Macadamia, Acai and Sweet Pea.

The Acai is called floral acai  and is  rich but not sweet berry but with a hint of something else. It's lovely .

For the launch The Body Shop is hosting a contest on their Facebook page www.facebook.com/TheBodyShop where  they are giving away one every day.

Body Butter Duos are currently introductory priced at $ 15.00 or two for $25.00

The Body Shop Holiday

The best sale deal out there may be The Body Shop's buy 1 get 1 free. The deal applies to all holiday items and holiday gift sets. Sets begin at $ 15.00-50.00. So you can spend 15.00 and get 2 gifts. Thats a bargain. This sale lasts thru Nov. 29th .

The holiday line is one I look forward to, and every one of my friends always has the Body Shop on their wishlist. The Cranberry, this year called Merry Cranberry is my all time favorite. Not just from the Body Shop but from any. I stockpile every year. New this holiday and really nice as well is Black Velvet Apricot. A potential stockpile scent. Not sweet fruity but that of a very ripe Apricot. Lovely and not a scent I've seen done before.

New packaging has debuted and it looks more elegant . All scents come in scrubs, shimmer or regular lotions, body butters, soaps, lip balms in tins ( really, really good) and there is a Cranberry Hand Cream this year for the best smelling hands ever.


Head over to The Body Shop to check it out or at your nearest retail spot.

The Body Shop Baby Buriti

Time for something to pamper and soothe the babies out there. ( No, not the grown up ones, the little wee ones).

The Body Shop Baby Buriti line is a more natural and very gentle line of body care for babies.

Years ago the stores had Mama Toto for moms and babies. I gave this to a cousin for her new baby and she was so impressed with the difference between that and the drugstore lines. Eventually it was discontinued. Now Baby Buriti is the new kid on the block.

"Buriti is from the Amazonian "tree of life".The oil of the Buriti nut contains one of the richest sources of beta-carotene and pro-vitamin A and helps soothe, soften and protect the skin against over-drying. "

Yes, you can use these on yourself, especially if you have sensitive skin. They have little to no scent and really are highly moisturizing. My 3 month old honorary Goddaughter is using them now. ( It is never to early to start the kiddies on the right path to good products ).

There is a body butter, lotion, bath gel, shampoo and conditioner. Available online at The Body Shop and in stores.
