The Body Shop Christmas Bits...

We are well into double digits in the countdown to Christmas 2012. Just 83 days remain until the most exciting (expensive) day of the year. And I am genuinely excited for Christmas this year, I plan on getting properly excited in the run up. The Body Shop invited me along to their Christmas 2012 preview, and it ignited the little spark... I actually did a little dance on the landing when I saw their magnificent tree, to say nothing of the little flutter my heart gave when I smelled their glorious new scents:

The Body Shop Christmas Tree with product Decorations

There are three new Limited Edition fragrances that will be adorning shelves on the 6th of November, in the way of Shower gels, body butters, bath crystals, soaps, home fragrance, shimmer lotions, body polishes, hand washes, hand lotions and a lovely new Lip Dome. And they will come in the scents of lusciously indulgent Vanilla Bliss, sparkly & fruity Cranberry Joy and spicy warming Ginger Sparkle.

And they are perfect gifts for loved ones, family members, best friends, colleagues, kris-kindles, secret santa's, book clubs and of course.... Self Gifting.

I love that they have to put a "do not eat" warning on it is a testament to how good this range smells, If you love chocolate, then you will love this...
