[unpaid/sample/prioradrelationship/affiliate/ad] If you have stockings to fill, grab this set of four soaps from The Body Shop, brace yourself to rip it up, and go! I’ve taken a long time to come around to hand washes rather than soaps – I still keep ‘real’ soap in the bathroom and the downstairs loo although there are both options (and mostly, visitors choose the pump soap).

There are four bars – British Rose, Shea, Almond Milk and Olive. They’re quite lightly scented which suits me absolutely fine, especially with olive. I’ve tried all my life to like olives – I want to be that person sitting at a bar with a cocktail when big, juicy, black olives come out who says, ‘ooh, lovely’, but no. I can’t. I am fine with olive oil which, to be fair, the soap is much more akin to, but actual olives are a hard pass.

As each one is individually wrapped, it’s so easy to split the box for stocking fillers or small gifts.

And…. extra detail! As ever, with The Body Shop, the ingredients are carefully and considerately sourced – Community Fair Trade olive oil, CFT almond milk and CFT shea butter from Ghana. The British Rose essence is sourced from – yes, as it says on the tin (or bar), the UK. I think the value is excellent at £12 HERE.
