2015 Christmas Gift Ideas (BATH AND BODY)

Brace yourself, Christmas is coming.

christmas, the season of giving and festivity.
but who says these are only good for gifts for others?
i find christmas to be a good time to score good deals provided you've been wanting to try certain products for a while, especially if you've been wishing for smaller sizes.

your wish is granted.

here are a few gifts i personally wouldn't mind receiving because EVERYONE needs/can use a hand cream.
i assume if these are stuff i see utility in, others will too. (totally imposing my likes and dislikes on others haha!)
instead of getting them in full sizes, you can now get to sample (several of) them at one go at a fraction of the original price.

also, this is a really good time to grab a few travel sets so you can use them when you go on a weekend getaway. there's a limit on bottled liquids (you can only bring a maximum of 1L of liquid on board, each individual container must not be more than 100ml), so miniatures will be perfect!

thanks santa!

EDITOR'S THOUGHT

before you say that the selection is very limited, i'd like to reiterate that these brands are those i've been keeping a lookout for throughout the years, so that's why i'm featuring them since i just so happen to know this few brands. even though they all sell roughly the same things, there's still a difference between their price points (with l'occitane being the most expensive out of all).

after making necessary conversions, you get the most value of of your buck (for hand creams) if you get the CRABTREE & EVELYN Hand Therapy Musical Tin (Set of 12) (at $9.84 per 30ml). 

so, one tube of hand cream for every month?
