Christmas is coming and there’s no better way to get that festive feeling than with a Body Shop Advent Calendar.
This year they are offering three fantastic calendars ranging from £50 up to £130.
I took a look at their mid-priced calendar, the Make It Real Together Big Advent Calendar (£70).
This jolly red calendar is sizeable and impressive!
Featuring a host of fun, festive illustrations featuring people decorating a tree, Christmas jumpers, gingerbread men, mistletoe and many more, it’s not just a treat for your body but a delight for your eyes too.
Beautifully presented, open the front and enter the house shaped calendar to find a mix of 25 different shaped and sized boxed pieced together as a complete jigsaw puzzle.
Upon removing and opening a box you’ll find not only a daily skincare, bodycare, haircare or cosmetic treasure, but the sides of the boxes feature a suggestion for little acts of kindness you could undertake to help make the world a better place.
Suggestions such as ‘Give a homeless person more than money, give them a smile and a hot drink instead’ , ‘Put a little gift back into this box, now give it to someone awesome’ and ‘ Pamper while you watch your favourite Christmas movie together’ is a delightful little extra that encourages you to remember the real magic of Christmas.
‘The real magic of Christmas is always made together’ is text which is featured on the inner door of the calendar and helps to remind you to be kind and thoughtful during a time which can be anything but joyful for millions of others.
I love this special touch that The Body Shop has with its calendars because as they say, in a world where you can be anything, be kind.
Once you’ve been left feeling inspired and humbled, its time to take a look inside your little box and see what treasure is awaiting you in the lead up to the big day.
This post does feature spoilers and while I’ve not photographed every item included I have written a description for you.
Don’t worry though, you wont know which day holds which gift!
This bumper calendar contains an impressive array of key items and hero products from across the expansive Body Shop collection of skincare, bodycare, hair care and cosmetics ranges.
