I absolutely love the holiday season — a time when it’s acceptable to overindulge in sugary cookies, hot chocolate and cheesy Christmas music. But a tiny part of me resents it because of the stress brought on by finding the perfect gift for my loved ones and friends.
Should I drop my life savings on an expensive bracelet to show my mom how much she means to me? How could I possibly top that hilarious gag gift I got for my best friend last year? Does my grandma really need another “Best Grandma” coffee mug? With these thoughts running through my head, I was put at ease when a little box arrived at my doorstep. And this box contained 15 smaller boxes — L’OcciBoxes, that is — full of killer beauty products from L’Occitane. What is this L’OcciBox I speak of? Well, I’m here to explain why these adorable beauty product boxes are the ideal holiday gift for your mom, grandma, aunt or friend and why they’re totally better than another pair of gloves.
On Dec. 1, L’Occitane launched an awesome new beauty product sampling program called L’OcciBox. These cute holiday-themed boxes (with pink HC-approved bows on top!) offer shoppers travel-sized samples of L’Occitane’s best products. If you’re like me and had never really heard of L’Occitane before this, then purchasing one of these boxes is the perfect way to test out the brand’s products.
The boxes not only contain useful beauty products from L’Occitane, but they also have special collaborations attached to them. For this first round of L’OcciBoxes, the company partnered with ELLE magazine to offer a compact orange pouch containing a nail file and four hand creams in lovely scents like cherry blossom and verbena. The tubes have cute little French sayings written on them, such as “J’aime la douce odeur de l’amande,” which means, “I love the sweet smell of almond.” An adorable tube of hand cream and a French lesson all in one product? It doesn’t get much better than that! On top of this orange pouch of goodies, 100 boxes selected at random will have a free year subscription to ELLE magazine inside.
So what else is in the box? L’Occitane chose to include its best products, including almond skin oil, shea butter body milk, velvet hand cream, cleansing foam and two samples of the divine cream. These jam-packed boxes will sell for $15 and will include a pre-selected sampling of the top products at a value of more than $50. They’re now available for purchase in L’Occitane boutiques everywhere, which is really exciting. But if you have no idea where on earth the nearest L’Occitane boutique is and are dying to get your hands on these goodies, then today is your lucky day! You can purchase a L’OccBox online here to avoid the lines; just use the promo code “DISCOVER” at checkout.
With the holiday season in full swing, this deal is sure to fly off the racks. A L’OccBox is the perfect holiday gift to buy for a family member or friend if you’re stumped on what to buy them this year. Or maybe you want to get one for yourself so you can #treatyoself. Either way, there is a limit of one box per customer, so choose wisely!
