Bath and Body Works Tyler Texas

January 10th, 2010

As you walk through the Broadway square mall in Tyler you can not help but smell the joyful scents pouring from Bath and Body Works.

When you have to buy a gift for that woman that you have no idea what to get her, Bath and Body Works is the best place to shop. I know that it is always hard to know what type of scent that people like. Every woman seems to have their own taste. But they have everything for everyone’s personal liking, candles, soap, lotions, Anti-bacterial, body spray, perfumes, and much more.

If you are anything like me, you don’t like leaving the house without a bottle of anti-bacterial. But the thing I hate is the smell. Bath and Body Works has found an answer for this frustrating problem that has been bothering women for years; Scented anti-bacterial. It kills germs and the only smell that stays is the pleasant smells, such as, jasmine, cherry blossom, lemon, or vanilla.

You can always find great deals for gift packages, and sale items. If you do not know what someone likes, give them a little of each scent. Mix and match fun items, jasmine scented body spray, cucumber melon candles, vanilla lotions and lemon hand anti-bacterial. You can find so many different ideas for gifts online and in the store. There are so many more gifts than just a bar of soap or candle. There are even potted plants and gardening gift ideas on the Bath and body Works website; including the futuristic item, “Garden in a bag”. You can choose between the “Happy Birthday!” Viola Mix or the “thinking of you” Pansy. You can not go wrong with chocolate. A Godiva candle and truffles make the perfect gifts. You can shop for the perfect “fun gift” such as cute and comfortable house slippers, or warm bath robes, or soft blankets. But do not over look the classic gifts that make Bath and Body Works so popular for so many years, such as the Signature Collection Classics Body Lotions. Try out the exciting smells, like Pink Grapefruit, Creamy Coconut, Cool Citrus, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, or Coco Cabana, and many more.

You can create a relaxing spa at your home. Get candles and relaxing room fragrances to set the calming mood. Bath and Body Work has great Aromatherapy massage oil. You can choose the best oil for your moods; Sleep- Lavender Chamomile and Lavender Vanilla, Stress Relief- Eucalyptus Spearmint and Tranquil Mint, or Sensuality- Jasmine Vanilla. You can complete a nice massage with the True Blue Spa Roller Ball Massager, or the 5-prong Massager by Bath & Body Works Accessories. You can give yourself a perfect home done manicure or pedicure with great kits, and True Blue Spa accessories. True Blue has such accessories such as nail buffers, hand lotions, manicure scrub, and the “Beauty Queen Waves Moisturizing Gel Gloves”. Aromatherapy has hand creams for your mood, such as energy and a stress relief. Look for great facial items brands such as, Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology, Murad Skin Care Kits, Zeno Acne Clearing Device, and Sara Happ. After a relaxing night cuddle up in a comfortable robe and warm slippers.

Check out their website on a regular basis to keep up with the great sale prices or you can go into the store. Ask a Tyler TX sales associate how to get on the e-mail list. Bath & Body Works sends coupons and alters you of sales in store and online.

Holiday Reading

December 17th, 2009

Well, Christmas is upon us again and we’re all busy rushing around looking for those perfect gifts for the people in our lives. As someone who grew up in a family of teachers, books have always been a huge part of our holiday giving. For our family a welcome part of the holiday experience has always been taking the time to sit down crack open some new reading. I’ve written fairly extensively about Tyler’s area bookstores, but given the season I thought it might be advantageous to our readers to quickly revisit some of our better establishments for those looking for some seasonal literature.

Barnes and Noble

B & N in Tyler always has some great deals for Christmas. If you’re looking for the latest best sellers you can’t do much better the retail giant. They usually offer about a twenty or thirty percent discount on whatever happens to be hot at the time. They also have a huge selection of calendars, cards and other gifty items. Another advantage of shopping there is the café. The Starbucks franchise sells everything any coffee addict might want, from travel mugs to bags of coffee beans. The one disadvantage (if it bothers you), are the crowds. As with most retail stores; the Barnes and Noble does a large percentage of its business at this time of year. If you don’t mind the rush however, this is always a great place to check out.

Fireside Books

For those looking for literature on the more unique side I would suggest Checking out Fireside Books at 110 East Houston. This is a locally owned bookseller specializing in used and rare books. The store is not as trendy or seasonal as B & N, but for those on our Christmas lists who value those more obscure or hard to find titles this is good place to check out.

Pea Picker Books

I my opinion Pea Picker is not a store for those bigger gifts. The business carries largely paperback books of varying quality and is probably not the place for nicer purchases. If you’re looking for stocking stuffers or more last minute items you may have some success, but don’t expect to find too many gems.

Lifeway Christian Stores

Lifeway is another good seasonal store (not unlike B & N actually) with a Christian theme. The store carries the latest Christian literature, music and gifts. They also sell mugs and coffee. The new location is a beautiful store, and will undoubtedly be a busy place in Tyler this Christmas.

The Scroll

I must confess that the Scroll is one of my area Favs. It is a Christian bookstore with a wide variety of literature. They carry all kinds of music, gifts, mugs and other items with a religious theme. The staff is there to offer any assistance the customer may require. This area business has been a staple in Tyler for a lot of years so expect a busy store.

There are a few other Booksellers in town but these are probably the best ones to visit for the holiday shopping. For those who require a more detailed description of the stores listed above, visit the Tyler Blog section of this site and look for the following titles: A large bookseller with local appeal, Still think there are no are no old bookstores in Tyler, The Scroll Christian Bookstore in Tyler, Pea Picker Books in Tyler, and The New Lifeway in Tyler.
