Bath & Body Works was a staple of our youth. Just hearing the name takes us back to middle school dances and the inescapable cloud of fruity body mist in the gymnasium. And how about those hand sanitizers that hooked onto your book bag? We lived for them (though now we're a bit more picky about which ones we'll palm).
But as we've matured, so has Bath & Body Works. And the brand's holiday offerings, new launches, and classic throwbacks are worth going to the mall for. Don't believe us? Click ahead and feel the good memories start to wash over you.
Don't have space in your tiny apartment for an actual tree or festive garland? This is the next best thing. (And much less messy, too.)

We had countless Bath & Body Works-brand loofahs back in the day, but something about a sea sponge feels so much more grown-up.
Bath & Body Works Sea Shower Sponge in Bumpy, $4.50, available at Bath & Body Works.
You'll find this one right near checkout, and we highly recommend snatching it up. The minty scent seems to freshen our breath at the end of the day, and puts us in the holiday spirit.

No Bath & Body Works roundup is complete without at least one hand soap. This foamy formula is our favorite, because it transforms our sink into a wine fountain. Just, please, don’t actually drink it.
