The Body Shop is a brand that instantly brings back happy memories. It’s a brand I grew up with and loved sharing with my friends. We’d all gift each other White Musk or Strawberry perfume oil for birthdays and Christmas and think we were the fanciest in all of the land. The Body Shop really did gifting right… And it still does today.
This holiday season The Body Shop has blown me away!
A persistent champion of the environment, The Body Shop also stands for equality, and with this holiday collection the theme of female empowerment is beautifully woven into their packaging. And even more important is who they’ve teamed up with this year – Plan International
This global children’s charity works to unlock dreams through education and training. And, when you shop at The Body Shop in November and December here in Canada, you’ll be directly supporting Plan International Canada with their goal of raising $50,000 towards Canadian Youth Programs that focus on unleashing the power of young women and girls.
Now – let’s take a look at some of the highlights from this beautiful gift collection and how it represents characters dreaming of their futures, riding rockets and celebrating the power of women. Visually telling a story that women can be more – can be an astronaut, an engineer… Can be their biggest dream.
The Rocket Gift Set – $32.00
‘Rocket to the stars’ with Mrs. Claus as your astronaut pilot. Filled with a mix of coconut and strawberry bath bombs, hand creams and shower gels – this adorable, reusable tin is the perfect, no-need-to-wrap gift.
Soothing Almond Milk and Honey Gift Set – $46.00
One of my favourite, subtle scents, this gift pack is perfect for friends with sensitive skin. Coming with shower cream, exfoliating body scrub, a bath puff, body butter and hand cream… This pack might not make it all the way to Christmas. I can’t wait to crack it open and enjoy the luxurious scent.
Calming Camomile Gentle Cleanse Kit – $36.00
A perfect 3-pack to step up anyone’s cleansing game. This pack comes with gentle eye-makeup remover, a full-sized cleansing butter and a reusable removal cloth.
Dream Big This Christmas Deluxe Advent Calendar – $99.00. Only available online.
Dare I say this is the ultimate advent calendar? I would be THRILLED to receive this on December 1st. First off – the packaging. It is stunning and so well thought out.
Each day comes in a separate box that has an inspiring story of female firsts and female trivia… Like this:
“Playing Monopoly at Christmas? The game was invented by designer, writer, engineer and feminist Lizzie Magie in 1903”.
Next – it is simply packed with Body Shop favourites. You’ll find face masks, body butters (full-sized and mini), shampoo and conditioner, bath bombs, makeup sponges and cleansers…there is just so many amazing products in this calendar making every day super exciting to open up.
Buying gifts for those you love always feels good – but this year it might just feel a bit better knowing you are helping foster female empowerment and directly donating to Plan International Canada.
