GUEST POST: Jessica Minervini is a freelance writer and fact-checker for  Canadian Living. She's an avid traveller and loves when people mistake her for a local. Jessica is a huge TV buff and adores spending her weekends on the couch watching a movie... or three. By Jessica Minervini It’s no secret that bath and body essentials are great go-to gifts when you’re stuck for last-minute ideas.

And for some sweet scents we always turn to our staple, The Body Shop, for one of its wide varieties of gift sets. My personal favourite from The Body Shop's collection is the School of Beauty holiday gift set, which comes wrapped up in a festive schoolhouse-shaped box. The reason I love this set so much is its variety of products. Rather than giving your Secret Santa a collection of one-scent items, this box comes with four different varieties! The $25 box includes:

• Satsuma Shower Gel, 2 fl oz;
• Mango Shower Gel, 2 fl oz;
• Strawberry Shower Gel, 2 fl oz;
• Shea Body Butter, 1.7 oz;
• Shea Lip Butter, 0.33 oz; and an
• Ultra Fine Cream Bath Lily.

The showstopper item from this box is The Body Shop’s signature Ultra Fine Cream Bath Lily. Better than an ordinary loofah, the ultrasoft Bath Lily increases lathering capabilities, allowing the selection of shower gels to last even longer. Still not convinced? The School of Beauty is the gift that keeps on giving. For every box The Body Shop buys from their Nepalese supplier, Get Paper Industry, money goes toward funding community social projects, including education for over 700 children. For your chance to  win The Body Shop's Schoolhouse Gift Box, please leave a comment answering the following question:  What is your favourite type of product to use in the shower and why? One comment will be chosen at random a week from today.
