The sun is out and hot here on this beautiful summer day...yet I am
lost in the thoughts of all things fall - Halloween - and now
Christmas.
I think it is like that for many people. We are deep into
enjoying the warmth of these days yet we still wonder what is next from
our favorite obsession.
I begin planning for the following years Christmas
right after the tree comes down. I need to with so many to buy for to
be able to get everyone something special. And with my blog, I love
knowing the "next thing" because it helps me make better choices. That,
and I am nosey.
After getting a few sneak peeks from dedicated
fans, all I can say is get ready to spend. We should be seeing an
incredible Holiday season at Bath and Body Works. And I have only seen a
few things.
Here is what I know of right now...
Let me say a few things about this posting.
Bath and Body Works conducts random in-store surveys on all kinds of products both Home and Body Care collections.
Most times the products surveyed
will show up in a future floor set.
Sometimes they will use the
information gathered to tweak the product before releasing.
And
sometimes none of the products will come out. This is sort of a pretest as apposed to in store candle testing / body care testing we see quite often.
During this survey, shoppers are asked to participate randomly in store for a few moments of their time for their opinion on the products, and then they are given a gift card as thanks.
Recently, there were a few different surveys held. Holiday Body Care was one and Holiday Candles was the other.
The
one thing I know about the Candles survey after all these years is the
photos shown on the board are usually the labels on the candles when
they released...so fingers crossed because these labels on these two
collections are STINKIN' Adorable.
I will share the names I know
and a general description of each.
The photos below are my creation to
sort of give you an idea....but trust me, the real labels are beautiful.
I
know about two collections in this theme " Land Of Sweets."
I sure
hope that is the Holiday store theme this year because it is great.
Collection 1
These
jars look like frosted glass with confetti falling down. The center
name label has beautiful scrolls all around with the lettering in the
center and a small motif above the name. It lays atop a gold color
ribbon.
