From their creamy-soft textures to the fact that they’re made with Community Trade ingredients, these are the best body butters in town! What’s even better is that the company has created an adorable lollipop gift set featuring five of its best body butters. But be warned: As much as they smell and feel good, you cannot eat these products. Sorry. (thebodyshop.ca, $25)
