The Body Shop has been producing quality products for about as long as I’ve been alive. There are amazing products to suit every skin type, taste and budget with a range of great fragrances and always a sensational seasonal selection of gift packs to make your gift buying simple.
This Christmas The Body Shop has gone one step further and partnered with NGO International Alert to create the Play for Peace Campaign. Every gift purchased through the Christmas season from the seasonal gift collections will help refugee children affected by war in Syria heal through play.
International Alert’s Peace Play project – which is implemented with the organisation Basmeh and Zeitooneh – supports refugee children and uses recreational and creative activities to help these children deal with trauma and to understand their experiences of conflict.
Every purchase from The Body Shop’s seasonal gift collection will help support the project for one year in a refugee camp in Lebanon, therapeutic activities will take place in a safe haven community. Syrian refugee children have little access to treatment for the trauma they experienced and some struggle to remember life before violence and loss. This program provides a safe space to play and be children again.
Ajak Deng, Sudanese refugee now international fashion model said: “Being a refugee myself, I am proud to be partnering with The Body Shop Australia for the ‘Play for Peace’ project, and to be able to share my own story so people can better understand the true plight of refugees. I want to use my own experience to educate others about a very real issue that – in one way or another – really does affect all of us.”
The Body Shop has always been a great advocate for global issues and involving customers in making a stand. The brand is proudly against animal testing and always has been.

I devour books, vampires and supernatural creatures are my genre of choice but over the past couple of years, I have broadened my horizons considerably. In a nutshell – I love to write! I love interacting with a diverse range of artists to bring you interviews. Perhaps we were perfect before – I LOVE WORDS!
OOOh I love body Shop! I cannot go past one without heading in and trying out the new products. They always smell divine!
I love the Body Shop wish we had one locally here
The frosted Berry gift set from The Body Shop looks pretty but so do the other gift sets
What is not to like about the Body Shop… they smell as good as they work. The Body Shop never disappoints and always leaves you feeling special and smelling so pretty.
Body Shop is one of my go to places when I’m stuck for a gift because everyone loves Body Shoo products so you can’t go wrong with anything you pick for a gift. Gorgeous packaging and fragrances.
The Body Shop is always reliable, so it’s great for gifts where you’re not quite sure what the recipient would like. Personally, I’m partial to both the white musk and black musk ranges.
This gift keeps on giving first at last the family took the hint & bought me Body Shop products secondly smell so good & last but not least they actually do work maling my skin feel so smooth
Last year I received a small body shop giftpack as a secret santa gift and I absolutely loved it, and would probably rate it as the best secret santa gift I have ever received. That inspired me so this year I bought a small body shop giftpack to use as a secret santa gift (for an unknown female recipient) and it was very well received 🙂 I’ve also bought a couple more to use as gifts for hard to buy for family members that will appreciate a little luxury gift for themselves, and as spares for anyone that may pop around unexpectedly at Christmas time.
You can never go wrong with the Body Shop. My youngest daughter has a very strong passion for anything coconut scented and I would love the Berries or something with a citrus scent.
