Do you like getting Christmas gifts from Bath & Body Works?

[wannabe]

No. I do buy some things there like hand soap, but I like to pick it out myself.

[lauralala]

From my sister or husband, yes. They know what scents I like. From other people, it depends on how well they did when choosing a scent.

[janegold]

No. And if I were to want body products, I would choose things nicer than what I liked as a 14 year old.

[pedanticwench]

The only things I like are the body sprays (Sweet Pea for LYFE) and the hand soaps.

So no, I don't like get stuff from Bath and Body Works for Christmas and only because I buy it for myself already.

[bonquiqui]

I prefer to pick out my own, because some scents are just too strong.

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

Nope. Ok, maybe from the True Blue line. But the other stuff is so personal. I don't like highly scented lotions, they would just go back or be re-gifted. Body wash I would have to really like the scent (they discontinued Coco Cabana, my favorite).

[themoneytree]

I like all gifts! : )

[Yankees21]

Only from someone who knows what scents I like.

J's mom got me some soap and lotion from there last Christmas and they were both scents I love, so it was awesome.

Christmas before last a friend bought me lotion and body wash in a horrific scent that reminded me of cheap booze mixed with potpourri. No thanks.

[ginap]

No because I am really fussy about the scents that I like and I tend to not like using their shower gels or scented lotions because they are crappy quality.

[gault]

I used to love B&BW, but now whenever I walk past a store, it's nose assault. Kind of like Abercrombie & Fitch.

Clean scents or certain floral only for this girl.

Snap!

Ha, just personal preference! That place really brings me wayyyy back. I was also obsessed with Victoria's Secret body products back in the day - they were allll the rage.  I especially loved Her Majesty's Rose.

[pantsparty]

I think stuff like their candles, hand soaps, and spa line of lotions are okay. Otherwise, you really have no idea what scents someone prefers.

[shostakovich]

After I worked there, no gift from that place would make me happy. I had to give hand massages to strangers on the daily, you guys. ::Shudder::

Also, eczema.

[AmeliaBedelia]

Only the candles. I hate the vast majority of their bath products.

[jane6672]

No, because the probability of getting Sweet Pea is way too high.

[Deleted]

I love their hand soaps and buy like 20 at a time but other than that I like only one or two scents. So not really.

[adhdfashion]

No, that places gives me headaches. To many strong smells.

[Deleted]

Oh hell yes, as long as they stick with darker scents, like sensual amber. I can't stand light, flowery scents.

[Jermys]

90% of their scents give me a migraine and make me want to vomit. So, no thank you.

Don't even tell me you like that Black Amethyst or Warm Vanilla Sugar shit.

[emjacobs]

I have an aunt that buys this stuff for all of the nieces. She buys the small travel size bottles, I put it in my guest / spare bathrooms for other people to use.

It's been years, but I think the last thing I bought there was cucumber melon.


Sweet Pea makes me feel instantly carsick.

[pedanticwench]

I used the purple Victoria's Secret lotion. Smelled like skittles.

[agnes]

1. I like to pick out my own scents
2. I pretty much only like getting their soap
3. I already have enough lotions/sprays to last a lifetime that I've re-gifted the stuff

Yes, I'm a regifter.

[christy082]

At this point, no. I have so much stuff in my closet that people have given me, I don't know if I'll ever use it all. Plus many scents give me a headache.

See, for me that's the only one that doesn't give me a headache. We're all so different!

No, chemicals.

I am getting the two confused here.
