Nobody throws a party and celebrates the festive like KENS apothecary. “Christmas Carnival” is the holiday theme for this year at KENS. I like to call it, Christmas at KENS

In every KENS apothecary stores, you may find the holiday theme featuring rotating Ferris wheels with colored LED lights. What’s special about this Ferris wheels is that each wheel carries numerous product gift ideas and the whole display are decorated with white snow and miniature pine trees. Super cute.

According to Ken Lim, the Founder and Managing Director of KENS apothecary, the Ferris wheel idea is to let the customers know that there are more than 100 gift ideas in store, ranging from affordable stocking fillers to luxury skincare coffret sets from top European brands such as Caudalie, Diptyque, Marvis, Annick Goutal, and many more.

Now, what I really like about Christmas at KENS is the gift wrapping service. KENS apothecary do take holiday gifting serious. They even made their own wrapping paper and personalized gift tags as well. If you happen to shop at any KENS apothecary stores, you may ask for the gift wrapping service, which features a brand new 2016 KENS apothecary Holiday themed wrapping paper and Christmas ornaments. The paper are printed with products and brands that are currently being sold at KENS. This service will be an additional service offered at all stores at an affordable price

More reason to celebrate. Right before the year ends, KENS apothercary celebrates the opening of their 4th store at Suria KLCC. It is their first store in the city so KL-ites, you know where to shop for Christmas

One last set

Hand Cream Trio Set (RM80, worth RM90)

I think a Christmas Holiday Collection will not be complete if there is no hand cream set. Everybody uses hand cream. And a cutesy hand cream trio set that comes with pretty packing like this is a winner. I scream when I saw this hand cream lol. It contains three 30ml Caudalie hand cream in three different scents namely Merlot, Cabernet and Sauvignon.

Phew. Just when I thought I have seen it all, trust me when I say you have not seen all the Christmas sets until you have seen what The Body Shop has to offer for this year’s holiday collection. It is The Body Shop Wildest Christmas Ever!

This year, The Body Shop prepared a whopping of 88 holiday gift sets for you to choose from. What makes it more meaningful besides celebrating their 40th anniversary and life-long dedication to campaigning against animal testing is that each holiday gift set sold will go to restoring 1-square metre of the rainforest and the protection of endangered creatures in the forest. The fund will goes to building Bio-Bridges. Bio-Bridge is a natural corridor that re-connects damaged habitats such as critically endangered animals like Sumatran Tigers, Malayan Tigers, Asian Elephants and Sumatran Orangutans to meet their match. Not only The Body Shop will continue to protect endangered animals in Vietnam but they are also launching two new projects in Indonesia and Malaysia.

If you opt out paper bags when shopping at The Body Shop store, the brand will donate RM0.50 out BUT if you insist on having a paper bag, you will need to donate RM0.50 to the cause

Now. The 88 holiday gift sets. I do not even know where to start! Most of the gift sets are from existing permanent range except for a few new seasonal body care scents and range.

Spiced Apple

Spiced Apple scent are infused with cold-pressed apple seed oil from the Alps. This mouth-watering scent perfectly captures the treat yourself season. The aroma of freshly baked apples is warmed with notes of cinnamon and freshened with the crispness of orange and white flowers.

The are gift sets for the men as well

Vanilla Chai

If coffee joints are busy making chai latte, then The Body Shop will be busy with their Vanilal Chai range that comes with hand-picked vanilla from Madagascar. The scent is aarm and inviting, a little bit of creamy milky scent and with a dash of vanilla, peppered with notes of warm cinnamon, cardamom and sweetened with brown sugar. Smells so festive that you would want to drink it. Sorry, it’s for the skin only!

Frosted Berries

No holiday scent will be completed without something sweet. Something with cranberries from the North America. This juicy range are infused with balancing fresh notes of cranberry, blackcurrant and raspberry with white flowers, creamy praline and sweet vanilla, it makes for a truly beautiful berry blend.

You know what makes a great gift? A tub of body butter with personalized sticker and name on it. I was so happy when I get to customized my own Olive Nourishing Body Butter with the animal I want and preferred name. I chose the Malaysian Tiger and my blog name Street Love on it. Here comes the good news!

You too get to personalise your very own body butter at The Body Shop’s Wildest Christmas kiosk at Midvalley, as well as at KLCC and Pavilion stores. This limited time only personalization service is only available from now until 1st January 2017. No extra charges.
