The Body Shop launched a very merry Hand Lotion & Hand Wash duo that “treats hands to some festive moisture!” Limited edition fragrances include Cranberry Joy, Ginger Sparkle and Vanilla Bliss. The products provide light moisture and leave hands feeling softer and smoother, and the clear, round packaging is reminiscent of Christmas tree ornaments. Also for guest or home use is Philosophy Holiday Hands, a set designed to stay close to the sink to give hands a treat.

Liquor Whipped comes in a festive, holiday-themed can from DS Containers that sports a valve from Clayton Corp. Love is in the air And in the malls. A 2013 Valentine’s Day
