Buying for a friend is one thing — buying for one of your sorority sisters is another. You may not be as close, but there’s a unity there that suggests that a thoughtful gift is needed (just not one that’s going to totally blow your savings). We say play it safe and go with a gift set, but not just ANY gift set. Green is good (and I’m not talking about Christmas trees and mistletoe here). The Body Shop’s products are all eco-friendly, promote free-trade, HIV and AIDS initiatives, and global awareness for domestic violence — all things your sorority endeavors to do.

That’s why we’re totally lovin’ their Nutmeg and Vanilla gift sets. They smell all sweet and yummy like the holiday season, they promote something socially positive, AND they’re all on sale right now for $10.50 – $38.00. A gift that actually gives back — isn’t that what the season is all about?
