🧼 Bath & Body Works | In-Store Visit & Summer 1 Sneak Peek (5/12 Floor Set Preview)
Today’s Bath & Body Works store visit gave me an early glimpse at the upcoming Summer 1 Collection, which is set to hit floors officially on Monday, May 12th. A few smaller tables were already staged, so I took the opportunity to browse — and of course, a few things came home with me.
🎆 Firecracker Pop Museum at the Entrance
As soon as I walked in, the Firecracker Pop Museum greeted me right at the door — loud, festive, and very on-theme for summer. I gave the Fine Fragrance Mist a spritz just to revisit the scent, but I decided to pass this time and focus on a few newer and limited items instead.
🛍️ What I Purchased
Here’s what made it into my bag today:
-
Patriotic Popsicle Backpack – $19.99
-
Single Wick Candle – Free using a reward $16.95
-
Two Red, White & Blue Pocketbac Holders – exchanged from a previous purchase (jelly shoe & extra golf cart)
-
Six Hand Sanitizers – Bought using the Buy 3, Get 3 Free sale
The only item I used the Buy 3, Get 3 Free promo on was the Hand Sanitizers, since I’m fully stocked elsewhere at the moment.
😕 A Note on the Pocketbac Holders
The Pocketbac Holders looked so bright and cheerful in photos shared online, but in person, they were... underwhelming. The colors are much more muted than expected — kind of drab, honestly. Just something to keep in mind if you're planning to grab them based on online previews alone.
🎁 How I Used My Rewards & Exchanges
-
Used a My Bath & Body Works Reward for the Single Wick Candle
-
Exchanged previously purchased items for the new Pocketbac Holders
I always try to shop strategically — using rewards for higher-value items and only exchanging when I find something for my aunt and it turns out to be a pass.
Overall, I’m glad I stopped in today! Even though I kept my haul small, it was fun to preview what’s to come. I’ll be back to check out the full Summer 1 setup once it officially launches.
