Hello everyone! Happy Friday afternoon! We’re in the home stretch now 🙂
There are three new hand sanitizers up today! (How exciting!) BBW has been doing a much better job of keeping hand santitizers in stock lately. There seems to be more new packs almost every day!
Today’s lot consists of 2 Pocketbac 5-packs and one hand sanitizer spray. We’ll start with the Pocketbacs and then move on to the spray (which, unfortunately, is not new, just restocked!)
First we have the Sunshine & Lemons 5-pack. I think this one is a great scent- nice, sweet and wonderful in the summer. If you’re looking to stay extra safe even into the warm summer months, this is the perfect accessory for you! (Unless you want to upgrade to Summer Chic Level 2, add on the other Pocketbac set that we’ll describe next!)
The next item is a 5-pack of summer classic, Watermelon Lemonade. I absolutely love this scent and I bet you would too- you can try your first whiff of this or stock up on this classic! I think this pack would go great with Sunshine & Lemons- why not get both for $16? (I’m calling this the Summer Booster Pack!) 🙂
Finally, we have the Pineapple Colada hand sanitizer spray, which was online recently but sold out quickly and has now been restocked. (Thank goodness!) I think this collection is adorable and I hope BBW continues to make these!

Hello again everyone! Happy Friday! (Finally, we made it!!) 🙂
Today Kelley of @prettymagicalthings (who lives in Tennessee, where stores are currently open) made another visit to her local BBW and, you guessed it, there’s even more newness this time!!
But of course there are protocols and precautions so everyone will stay safe while shopping at our favorite scented haven. There seems to be glass panes covering the checkout area with one little window for the associates to ring up the customers’ items and hand them their bags (sounds kind of like a pharmacy lol!) All the employees are wearing *adorable gingham* face masks, the transaction keypad has protective covering, they no longer take cash, there are limits for both Pocketbacs and hand soaps, and so much more is different- BBW looks very different!
Anyway, in the world of Wallflowers, we have some very exciting new plugs! Some are already online, while others were teased in the summer previews and are now finally available for purchase. (A nice balance, if you ask me!)
Kelley also found another new Wallflower plug, this one in the “nightlight” style and shaped like a lantern! How cute!
There’s another (somewhat) new Pocketbac that has appeared in store- “You Are Loved” in Cherry Sweet. This was part of the online Mother’s Day 5-pack that debuted when stores were already closed, so although it is not new to us online customers it is brand new in the stores. This is actually great for those of us who missed out on that extremely limited pack- now we can purchase these individually! (And hopefully, they won’t be all gone by the time I get to BBW!)
Speaking of PocketBacs, there is a brand new Pocketbac holder! This holder is in the shape of a seashell and has ombré purple-into-blue-into-green coloring. This is so cute, so excuse me while I make a game plan to grab this without exposing myself!! (Plus, looking for the perfect holder-sanitizer combo? Try that Shell Yeah Island Papaya one- these would go great together!)
The new Gingham air and fabric mist that appeared online the other day was also in stores! (I wonder how this one is- I’d love to try it in the future!) Let’s hope we see this room spray and fragrance mist combo in other scents soon!
And finally, the post that surprised me the most- all the things that are on sale! The majority of stores closed in mid-to-late March, when the Easter products were just appearing. But lo and behold, everything shut down, and stores were left with a bounty of unsold Easter products! Instead of just getting rid of everything, they put it on sale (bravo, BBW!) This way, if you missed out on that bunny soap you wanted, you can get it-for a great price! (That’s because all the unsold Easter and spring products are a whopping 50% off! It’s like the SAS a month early!!)
And that’s not all. I kid you not, all of those 3-piece gift boxes (Gingham, Rose Water & Ivy, Perfect Peony, etc.) that are sold out online are 50% off too!! (Now I’m starting to think about planning a visit. I’d never miss a great sale!) All those White Barn candles from spring, just about any spring product you can imagine- all half off. Great job Bath & Body Works. Finally a good sale (finally!)
But it just keeps getting even better- all Aromatherapy and Men’s Collection are half off too! (Now’s the time to complete your Love: Rose & Vanilla set or stock up on Atlantic for Father’s Day!) Oh, and those Getaway fragrances from earlier this year? (Fiji Sunshine Guava-Tini, Bahamas Pink Passionfruit & Banana Flower?) All half price as well. It seems as if almost everything in BBW is on sale- now’s the perfect time to stock up on some goodies to last you through the rest of this!
Or for your poor souls who don’t even live near an open store, maybe call up a friend or relative (if you have any who live in one of those lucky states) and ask if they’d be willing to make the trek for you and then mail it to you. (Don’t forget to pay Aunt Susan of your old friend Grace back, though!)
That’s all the newness for today, but I’m sure there’ll be more coming soon! Enjoy your weekend (and all your new half-off goodies!) Oh, and thanks to Kelley for all the pics!

Good afternoon, happy Wednesday everyone! I’m here to report on some brand-new goodies from Bath & Body Works- in the form of hand sanitizers! There are three new sanitizer listings on Bath & Body Works this morning, and they’ll probably go quick- so hurry!
The first item is a 5-pack of the Aromatherapy Love: Rose & Vanilla Pocketbacs. These are a clear liquid and have black lids (although the cap color varies) and the same classic Aromatherapy packaging. Like all other 5-packs right now, these are $8. You can buy these here.
Next is the only other Pocketbac 5-pack: this one in the scent Black Cherry Merlot. These sanitizers are from the recent 2020 repackage, with dark purple liquid and packaging (with metallic accents) and black lids (although the cap color can vary.) You can buy these here.
The final new item is another tropical hand sanitizer spray, in Watermelon Lemonade. This is part of the same collection as Pineapple Colada (which is now gone from the website) and Citrus & Sunshine (which is now back in stock). The spray is a red liquid with illustrations of a lemon and watermelon, and retails for $5.50. You can buy this here.
An updated status on those 3 Pocketbac packs available yesterday: those are all gone from the website now, but hopefully they will be back soon!

Exciting news everyone! Our favorite scented haven (aka Bath & Body Works) has started to reopen their bountiful stores!
Thanks to Kelley (@prettymagicalthings on Instagram) we’ve got a first look at some of the new products at the stores that have opened. And boy, is there a plethora of new things to welcome back their fragrance-loving customers: candles, hand sanitizer, and all sorts of other new goodies, with more sure to come soon. (Hooray!)
Although I live near a store that has already reopened, I am a huge germaphobe and will not be doing any shopping in-person (sadly) just yet, as I don’t want the risk of exposure. But thanks to those who are brave enough to venture back out into the land of the living, we have glimpses into our beloved BBW stores once more. 🙂
First we have an outdoor view of her local store in Tennessee, with doors wide open to welcome back shoppers. It seems to be quite busy already- how exciting!
First up we have a collection of brand-new White Barn single wick candles, which are part of an apparently therapeutic/spa-inspired collection, for $14.50. The 6 candles are Hibiscus Waterfalls, Orange Zest + Sea Spray, Sea Salt & Linen, Water + Jasmine, Spring Rainfall, and White Tea + Cotton. The notes for each scent are:
HIBISCUS WATERFALLS: Tropical Hibiscus, Sweet Peach Nectar, Fresh Waterfall Mist
ORANGE ZEST + SEA SPRAY: Freshly Squeezed Orange, Aromatic Herbs, Sea Spray
SEA SALT + LINEN: White Grapefruit, Fresh Salted Air, Lemon Zest
WATER + JASMINE: Chamomile Water, White Jasmine, Bergamot
SPRING RAINFALL: White Melon, Clean Musk, Creamy Coconut
WHITE TEA + COTTON: White Tea, Fresh Lavender, Sun-Washed Cotton
The next item shown on Kelley’s Instagram was the new 3-wick candles, which are all in the same scents as the single wicks and have the same fragrance notes. These candles have black lids.
The next item on her feed are some new hand sanitizers. There are four new Pocketbacs shown in the pictures- “Love Wins” in Sweet Mint & Rain, “Shell Yeah!” in Salted Coconut Water, Fresh Cut Lilacs in Bold Blooms packaging, and “For Shore” in Island Papaya.
The fourth picture features Wallflower bulbs. There are four new bulbs- Hibiscus Waterfalls, White Tea + Cotton, Water + Jasmine, and Sea Salt + Linen, the same scents as the candles- in the same packaging as their candle counterparts.
The final item Kelley featured on her Instagram is a new spiral-pattern white metal soap holder. We do not yet have a price for this item, but it will likely be between $10 and $15.
Thank you so much for reading this post! Don’t forget to follow Kelley on Instagram so you’ll stay up to date on all new products. And please follow this blog so you’ll never miss another new post! Please stay tuned for more new exciting content coming soon!
Have a great day!

Hello everyone! Happy Hump Day! I hope you’re doing well.
Two days ago, on Monday, May 4, 2020, BBW Rewards members got their first look at the upcoming summer collection. Tess from Life Inside the Page shared these details as well. According to current knowledge, the collection features two body care scents, quite a few hand soaps in multiple formulas, and several candles. While the majority of the hand soaps are already available on the BBW website, the body care has not yet appeared. This is sure to be a big hit once everything is available- the scents sound amazing, and the packaging looks beautiful!
Let’s first talk about the products that are already available- the summer hand soap collection. As of now, there are two related packaging styles for the seemingly seaside-inspired collection, both named “Seaside Treats”, and one for the “Fresh Squeezed” fruit-inspired collection. All three are currently available online, with several individual scents already having sold out for certain periods of time.
The first collection appears to be inspired by the sea, with coastal-inspired colorful watercolor-style packaging. The collection features 6 gentle foaming soaps: old favorite Boardwalk Vanilla Cone, fall-inspired Crisp Morning Air, brand-new sold-out Cotton Candy Skies, previously popular Turquoise Waters, and apparently-new Beach Bliss and Sea Salt & Lime.
The second collection, also called “Seaside Treats” features the same 6 scents as its colorful counterpart, but in neutral, metallic packaging. These neutral-packaged soaps are also only available in the new “Gentle Gel” formula, not the classic and much more common Gentle Foaming.
The third and final currently-available summer hand soap collection, known as “Fresh Squeezed”, features colorful 6 fruit-scented gentle foaming soaps- brand-new Blueberry Lemonade, summer classic Coconut Colada, somewhat-common Island Papaya, PocketBac favorite Pineapple Mango, fairly new but popular Raspberry Tangerine, and classic Sun-Washed Citrus- all in corresponding packaging. Each soap’s packaging is decorated to look like the two (or more) fruits it represents.
A similarly-packaged hand soap duo currently called the “Black & White” collection- hence its monochromatic packaging- has yet to be released. The two current Black & White hand soaps are Beach Cabana (in white packaging with gold and gray accents) and Endless Weekend (in black packaging with gray and white accents.) Both scents have been available at BBW in various forms for quite some time as I am writing this, and due to their beachy aesthetic are especially popular in the summer months, during times such as SAS. The two soaps feature the same black pump handles but have contrasting packaging.
UPDATE: Friday, May 8. Hello everyone! I didn’t feel like erasing all of the “coming soon” collection details above, so I’m just going to share the products as an update now that they are actually online.
BODY CARE: Boardwalk Taffy and Sea Salt & Lavender made their body care debut and are currently available (as of 1:00 PM CST) in shower gel and fragrance mist form (Boardwalk Taffy) and body cream, shower gel and fragrance mist form (Sea Salt & Lavender. Two similarly packaged scents, Sunrise Sail and Coastal Hydrangeas, also launched, but had not been part of BBW’s body care previews and therefore completely elusive. As of 1 PM CST, Sunrise Sail is only available as a shower gel and body cream, and Coastal Hydrangeas as a fragrance mist. (All other options have sold out.) A new Men’s Collection scent, Coast, also dropped and is currently available as a recently-introduced 3-in-1 hair, face and body wash (which used to be just a 2-in-1 hair and body wash), body cream, cologne, mini cologne, and deodorizing body spray.
CANDLES/HOME FRAGRANCE: The summer candle collection dropped today as well. It includes the two candles shown in the preview, Berry Waffle Cone Cone and Summer Boardwalk, as well as Warm Apple Pie (online exclusive), Sandcastles & Sunshine, Turquoise Waters, Ocean Driftwood, and Coastal Sun. Four new Wallflower plugs also dropped: Gem Butterfly Nightlight, Stained Glass Lighthouse Nightlight, Guitar, and Watermelon.
Two new individual candles also launched, Aloha Kiwi Passionfruit (in a pinkish-red color) and online-exclusive Cucumber Melon in new packaging.
Two new candle holders, “Sparkling Shells” and “Palm Tree Skyline” also debuted.
HAND SOAPS: The “Black & White” collection, which was teased in the summer previews with Endless Weekend and Beach Cabana soaps in monochromatic packaging, was released with the two preview soaps as well as two others, Fresh Lavender Mint (in white) and Crystal Waves (in black), both completely new scents.
A colorful collection of four gentle foaming hand soaps also launched, and does not yet have an official name. This collection was not shown or mentioned at all in the summer previews. The four soaps are Island Papaya (in light ballerina pink), Cotton & Freesia (in light mint blue), Fresh Mint Apple (in the same shade of pinkish-red as the Aloha Kiwi Passionfruit candle), and Pomegranate Lemonade (in dark plum purple). All four soaps are online exclusive, and all but Island Papaya are completely new.
Two gentle foaming soaps in packaging similar to 2019 and 2020’s “Foamy Friends” soap and Pocketbac collection (which featured scents such as Stay Magical in Pineapple Punch and Feline Good in Cherry Sweet). The two soaps are “So Fantastic” (in the scent “Jawsome”- what does that smell like?? “A fintastic, ocean-y blend of golden apricot, blue orchid petals & coral sands”, apparently) and “Shell Yeah” (in much more straightforward “Peach Passionfruit”.)
Two other soaps from the collection, Be Magical (Unicorn Milkshake) and Stay Pawsitive (Iced Vanilla Cookie) were re-released online. They debuted earlier in 2020 along with the rest of the “Foamy Friends” 2020 collection.
HAND SANITIZERS: A brand-new hand sanitizer spray (not branded as “Pocketbacs”, like the foaming mousse antibacterial santizers and the GermX-style pump bottle, but similar to the “Pocketbac sprays” from a few years ago) was released today, in the scent “Pineapple Colada”. The packaging is similar to that of the “Fresh Squeezed” hand soap collection. (Pineapple Colada is not to be confused with Coconut Colada, which is a soap included in that Fresh Squeezed collection.) A completely different hand sanitizer spray, Citrus & Sunshine, was teased in the previews, but has not yet been released online (to my current knowledge).
The Men’s Collection Ocean PocketBac was released in a 5-pack today, and is still currently available (as of 1 PM CST). All other hand sanitizers and holders (besides Pineapple Colada) are currently sold out.
Congratulations! You made it to the end of this unbearably long post. My apologies! There’s just so much to get through.
Oh, and one more thing before you go- that elusive bakery collection (Cherry Hand Pie, Blackberry Cobbler, Strawberry Maple Waffles, Chocolate Peach Macaron, etc.) are (or were) back in stock now! (Only Clementine Sorbet, Chocolate Rose Macaron, Frosted Pumpkin Cookie and Blueberry Pie and are available right now. Sorry!)
Thank you so much for reading this post! I hope you enjoyed it and, like I am, are excited for all the new summer goodies at BBW. Stay tuned for more exciting content coming soon!
Have a great day!
