A Stocking Filler From The Body Shop

Hi guys. I am a huge fan of stockings at Christmas time as I think that they are really exciting to both create and open! They are a great way to give lots of little gifts to your friends and family without breaking the bank too. Plus, you can really personalise a stocking to suit the person that you are buying for as well. Today, I wanted to tell you all about these super affordable stocking fillers from The Body Shop. 

The Body Shop's 'treat boxes' are a bargain at just £6 and they come in four variations, so there will definitely be a scent that each of your loved ones will enjoy. In each treat box, you get a 60ml shower gel or cream, some form of matching body lotion and a mini body loofah. The four scents available in the treat box range are shea, coconut, strawberry and mango. 

Here is what you will find in each set:

Shea - shea shower cream, shea body whip & a taupe mini loofah
Coconut - coconut shower cream, coconut body milk & a cream mini loofah
Strawberry - strawberry shower gel, strawberry body puree & a red mini loofah
Mango - mango shower gel, mango body whip & an orange mini loofah

Not only would these sets be great within a stocking but they would also make a great regular present as well, especially if you are on a tight budget or have a lot of people to buy for. Overall, I think that you cannot go wrong with this gift because not only are they nicely packaged but the products smell amazing and are a great quality too! What do you think of these stocking fillers? Would you like to receive one as a present yourself? Please let me know by leaving a comment below! 

Butter Up: My Top 3 Favourite Body Butters

Hi guys. I have always been a major hoarder of body butters and I never seem to finish an entire tub before I've moved on to the next one. I have a never ending stash of moisturisers and my collection seems to just keep on growing, whether it be me not being able to resist an offer in Boots or receiving them as gifts. With that being said, I do have a couple of favourites that I always seem to come back to. Not only do these three of my favourite body butters get the job done in terms of keeping my skin soft but they all smell amazing too! So, I thought that I would just do a little post today to share with you all my much loved top three. Let's get started!

The Body Shop Passion Fruit Body Butter - £13.00
First up is a product that has been a bit of a rediscovery for me, as I previously mentioned in my monthly favourites post last week. I have loved The Body Shop's range of body butters for a long time and due to their thirteen pounds price tag, they are quite a treat for me. Yet, they do last such a long time and so they are definitely worth the investment. Out of the three butters that I am mentioning today, this one is definitely the richest and thickest in texture. Hence, I like to use this one right before bedtime as it does take quite long to sink in. However, it certainly does the trick and leaves my skin feeling supple and soft. To top it all off, the passionfruit scent is so summery and addictive too. This is a must have product in my opinion!

Soap & Glory Butter Yourself Five Fruits Super Rich Body Butter - £10.50 
Next up is my favourite butter out of the three. I am addicted to all things Soap & Glory and I have never found a bad product in their range that I have tried to this day (fingers crossed I never do either!) 'Butter Yourself' is a lovely fruity smelling body butter which features ingredients such as; orange waterjuice, peppermint oil and fruitliquid fig. This product nourishes extremely well without being sticky or leaving a horrible residue behind. It sinks in relatively quickly and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth, especially my legs! So far this tub has lasted me since Christmas and I still have a reasonable amount left, although I will definitely be re-purchasing this one when it runs out!

Boots Extracts Fairtrade Mango Body Butter - £8.00 for full size
Last but not least is this mini mango body butter which I received as part of a set from my friend Sarah. The Boots Extracts range has a great range of body butters for a very affordable price but this scent is by far my favourite. I do not use this product as often due to it being smaller in size but when I do, I love it! This body butter is the lightest of the three consistency wise, which means that it is excellent to wear during the daytime, as it does not stick to your clothing. The mango scent is very fresh and is a great pick-me-up too, which is another reason as to why I love it so much!

So those are my top three favourite body butters, I hope you have enjoyed reading about them. I really enjoy using all of them and as you can tell when it comes to body products, I love anything with a fruit-based fragrance or scent! Which are your favourites body butters? Have you tried any of my top three before? Please let me know in the comments below. Thank you :)
