The range of bath and body products that make good holiday gifts is so huge, that I am only brushing the surface with this shop page. I included some of my favorite brands here, but not all of their products by any means. For more from some individual brands, such as Bliss Spa, Philosophy, and Lush Cosmetics, check their individual shop pages, listed in the sidebar.

Also, if you visit any of the products below, you can obviously browse the category at the store linked to.  Sephora and Nordstrom tend to be a couple of my favorite online shopping sites, as are Beauty.com and Ulta. All are also running various specials  over this weekend for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Lush Cosmetics makes a wide array of soaps and bath products. I love their bath bombs. Lush is also a particularly good place to go to for gifts because of the wide variety of gift packages that they put together. There is something for every bath lover here! Individual Lush items also make great stocking stuffers. So, check them out for your Christmas shopping needs!

Philosophy has many great gift sets and specialty bath and body items not just for the Christmas and winter holidays, but for other occasions as well.  They are particularly known for their interesting and fragrant shower gels, various skin care items, and their Amazing Grace Fragrance.  Personally, I love the Philosophy lip glosses!

Bliss spa is one of the heavy weights in the word of bath, body, and spa.  Their products smell and feel good, and they are wildly popular. One of the best gifts out there is the Bliss Softening Socks with foot cream and the Glamour Gloves with hand gel.  Personally, I also am a sucker for Bliss Lemon and Sage Soapy Sap.

Wondering what to do with you pumpkin after Halloween? Kayla Fioravanti, ARC Registered & Certified Aromatherapist and the Co-founder and Chief Cosmetic Formulator for Essential Wholesale (www.essentialwholesale.com) explains why pumpkins aren’t just for Halloween with her Honey Pumpkin Spread Recipe!

This mask is especially nice for very dry skin types.

Ingredients
5 tablespoons canned organic pumpkin
1 teaspoon agave sweetener
1 tablespoon softened organic butter

To Make
Combine everything together and mix well to make a smooth paste. Make sure your face is clean. Spread Honey Pumpkin Spread over your face in an even layer. Rest for 15 minutes. Rinse and enjoy the softened skin.

Hmmm … Can’t use it all at one time? Since it’s fresh, you can refrigerate it for a few days. But I have a better idea. Why not spread it over a slice of warm toast and enjoy it with a cup of your favorite tea. Who says pumpkins are just for Halloween!
