Christmas Specials at The Body Shop ♡

As you may know, The Body Shop is very well-stocked all year, with popular, divine scents. However, at Christmas, they bring out their Christmas scents; Cranberry Joy, Vanilla Bliss and Ginger Sparkle. This is an annual occurance. There's something about these scents that bring a sense of nostalgia and merriness. My personal favourite is the Cranberry Joy, however that may be biased as I am a sucker for fresh, fruity fragrances! This year I decided to purchase the Cranberry Joy shower gel and body butter.
Here are some shots of mine:

Cranberry Joy Shower Gel

Normally, I like the pink grapefruit and the peach shower gels, but for the holiday season, Cranberry Joy is perfect for a change. The scent is very fresh and sweet, however is not too overwhelming. This shower gel came to £6, which I think is a bargain!

Cranberry Joy Body Butter

Like all other Body Shop body butters, it is a very smooth, moisturising product which keeps the skin soft and smelling amazing. It doesn't leave any disappointment. I think that this body butter came to around £12. Overall, I think that they are amazing products and deserve a lot of recognition. I think I may have a new holiday tradition!
The Body Shop also does little gift sets, which are perfect for giving to friends, family or to use as stocking fillers. They are only £8 for three hand creams. I bought some of these gift sets to friends for Christmas.

Although I have only bought products from the Cranberry Joy range, I managed to have a sniff at the other Christmas scents. The Ginger Sparkle smells exactly as you'd imagine- like gingerbread! This spicy smell is very comforting and will make you want to eat a ton of gingerbread men! The Vanilla Bliss smells, to me, like cookies and baking. It is a very sugary, sweet smell. However, if, like me, you don't like smells that are too sickly and sweet, this may not be to your preference.

The stocks are only available for the holidays, so be warned that they won't be around for much longer.
