The Body Shop Has Your Christmas List Covered: New Seasonal Scents & Gift Sets
With less than two weeks until Christmas, are you still pondering over your shopping list? Let me share my recent experience with The Body Shop's Holiday Collection, which might just be the solution to your gifting needs. This year, they've really stepped up their game with two special seasonal scents: the returning favorite, Pears & Share, and the new, delectable Cherries & Cheer. I was lucky enough to get my hands on these fragrances, along with two of their beautifully packaged gift sets. Each set is more than just a gift; it's a contribution to positive change, supporting communities globally through The Body Shop’s Community Fair Trade partnerships. Join me as we unwrap these treasures and explore what makes them the perfect gifts for this holiday season!
This season, The Body Shop has revived the Pears & Share scent and debuted Cherries & Cheer as their two festive fragrances. Initially, I was certain that Pears & Share would quickly become my favorite. Its subtle, pleasant pear aroma provides a relaxing, homely sensation, ideal for a serene shower experience with the Pears & Share Shower Gel (priced at P650 for 250ml, currently discounted to P455). Although I found Pears & Share delightful, the irresistibly tantalizing Cherries & Cheer scent captivated me even more. This enticing cherry fragrance, combined with 96 hours of moisture, is available in the Cherries & Cheer Body Butter (P1250 for 200ml, now on sale for P875).
Each fragrance line features a complete range of products, including an exclusive item for each scent. The Pears & Share line's special product is a Body Yogurt (P950 for 200ml, on sale for P665), offering a lighter alternative for days when a thick body butter isn't preferred. Meanwhile, Cherries & Cheer includes a unique Body & Massage Oil (P1595 for 100ml, available at a discounted price of P1116.50), perfect for relaxing after a busy day or when you want to add a bit of glow to your skin.
The Shea Essentials Gift Set, priced at P1895, is one of the standout selections I chose, currently offered under a Buy 2 Get 1 Free promotion. Crafted with Community Fair Trade shea butter sourced from Ghana, this set exemplifies quality and ethical sourcing. Each essentials set is neatly packed in a canvas carrying case, encompassing a range of products: a 250ml Shower Cream, a 50ml Body Butter, a 30ml Hand Balm, a 100g Cleansing Face & Body Bar, and a petite Ramie Lily.
In addition to the Shea variety, the Essentials Gift Set is available in other fragrances, such as British Rose and Almond Milk. This promotion allows for an attractive deal: purchasing three sets for the price of two. It's an ideal opportunity to select two sets for gifting and keep the third one for personal indulgence!
Another intriguing selection I made is the Love, Hope & Change Gift Basket, priced at P1795. This gift basket is not only filled with delightful products but also serves as a charming storage item long after the products are used. Each basket is a unique, handwoven piece made from reusable paper, created by the artisans at Get Paper Industry in Nepal, adding a touch of craftsmanship and sustainability to your gift.
Contained within each basket is a thoughtfully curated selection of products: a 50ml Shea Body Butter, a 50ml Mango Body Scrub, a 60ml Shea Shower Cream, a 30ml Mango Hand Balm, a 10ml Shea Lip Butter, and a Jute Star Scrubber. These items offer a blend of nourishment and indulgence, catering to various skincare needs.
This gift set embodies the spirit of giving gifts that support positive change. By choosing these gifts, you’re not just reaching out to your loved ones but also contributing to communities worldwide through The Body Shop’s Community Fair Trade partnerships. Additionally, The Body Shop extends the gift's impact beyond the holiday season. Their physical stores offer a container return program, encouraging customers to return empty product containers. This initiative helps in reducing waste and repurposing the plastic into furniture, which is then donated. A gift from The Body Shop truly goes beyond the immediate joy of giving, fostering lasting positive change.
The Body Shop and SM Malls are also having an exclusive promo for SMAC card holders, where you can win a roundtrip flight to Japan with Philippine Airlines. Just make a single-receipt purchase worth P2,500 from their Buy 1 Get 1 products in the seasonal scents Pears & Share or Cherries & Cheer. A buy one get one deal with a vacation on top, Christmas couldn’t get any better than that!
Gift your loved ones gifts for positive change from Lazada, Shopee, their official website, and in physical stores nationwide.
