Bath and Body Works

Bath and Body Works opened on the 9th and 10th in Kuwait at the Avenues and Marina Mall. Yes, you guessed it, it was brought to you by Al Shaya. This is part of the stores first expansion outside North America. The store is an exact replica of stores I've been to in the US. The products are very reasonably priced and some items are even cheaper than in the US. For example, the small hand lotions were 5 bucks each in the US. Here they sell for 1 KD each. Maybe its for a promotional time period, but it shouldn't increase that much later on.

For those who haven't tried Bath and Body Works, they have some of the best fragrances around. My wife loves their stuff. Every year when we go on vacation to the US or Canada we come back with something like 5 kgs of soaps, scents, conditioners, shampoos, and other stuff. The thing they don't have here is the scented wallflowers. These things you plug into the wall and they scent up the house for a good month. The sales people said they were working on converting the electricity issues and would be in Kuwait some time in January 2011. My wife is waiting patiently.
