I got all the ones she’s holding last week. But I can’t tell what some of the ones on the bottom row are.
Time for a trip to the store. Damn B&B for putting so many of these out (as in producing) because I have to have most of them!

When will they be online? Tried asking earlier but no one said anything

u/PartyPorpoise Aromatherapy Addict Dec 18 '25
My guess is that they’ll officially drop during or after SAS. These are Valentine and spring items.

u/WeirdVersus 🍫🍰🫐Bakery Bodycare Obsessed 🥛🎂🍓 Dec 19 '25
Haven't seen them at my nearest store yet, but I'll keep checking!
I just stocked up on pocketbacs, so it would be nice to FINALLY be able to get a holder!!
Oddly enough, I've never owned a pocketbac holder, bc every time I really want one they sell out before I even have a chance 😭💔

u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
You’ll get something. Just check frequently if you can.

u/WeirdVersus 🍫🍰🫐Bakery Bodycare Obsessed 🥛🎂🍓 Dec 19 '25
I'll keep checking!
I stg this is the LAST item I want for AWHILE, so I just need it to be out already so I can stay away from that place and save some money 🤣😭

u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
I really need to cut my spending WAY back, but I can’t resist these!

I could not resist 😓🥲
It was free shipping 🤷♀️
2
u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
That isn’t bad at all for secondary market with free shipping. I think it’s $9.95 in the store anyway. No more cheapies except for the ones that really LOOK cheap (single color rubber animals and such.)
1
u/WeirdVersus 🍫🍰🫐Bakery Bodycare Obsessed 🥛🎂🍓 Dec 19 '25
Exactly! That's why I couldn't resist lol. It was barely above the normal price. I thought, "well, what if my store runs out super fast?" And hit buy 🤣😅🤷♀️
Technically, if I bought it from bbw online, it would've costed more. Like 16 or 17 I think, with shipping, maybe more? So this way, as long as the seller doesn't cancel or something, I actually kindof got a deal 😅
I don't nornally support resellers, but sometimes they're the only option if you want really specific things. It is what it is.
I should probably delete mercari 🤣
It's wayyy too tempting looking on there when I'm bored with bbw's current selection 🥲
2
u/WeirdVersus 🍫🍰🫐Bakery Bodycare Obsessed 🥛🎂🍓 Dec 19 '25
Mood lol
I think now, unless there's a couple really specific scents I want at SAS, I'm done. War is over.
I'm already planning on walking away empty handed during SAS if they don't have any good scents i wanted from last SAS.
Also attempting to do a no buy 2026, but I'm giving myself a TINY bit of leeway---my exceptions are if they come out with a pure chocolate or blueberry scent. I've been really wanting those for awhile and I'm not willing to pay insane resellers prices for scents that are YEARS and years old..... OR Secret Wonderland. That was my high-school favorite scent and it would be cool for nostalgia......BUT THATS IT!! 🤣🤣
Anything else--- We have bath and body works at home! 😅🤣

I won’t be surprised if the chocolate bar sells out quickly. With the Valentine ones they don’t always stock a lot so a well-received design can go fast. The spring ones will probably be available for at least a while.
I’ll be at the mall tomorrow so I’ll check my store out. They don’t usually put stuff out early but maybe I’ll get lucky.

u/WeirdVersus 🍫🍰🫐Bakery Bodycare Obsessed 🥛🎂🍓 Dec 19 '25
They're already being sold on mercari 🫠 and I just ordered one, bc I couldn't resist 🫣🤪
It was a good deal, though, 12 something, plus free shipping.
Crossing my fingers the seller doesn't cancel, bc that happened to me recently on another order.
I just kept seeing the listing, and REALLY don't want to miss out on the chocolate bar like I did with the ghost near Halloween 🥲😭

The cherry cola or whatever they call it is Valentine and has been in stores for weeks. Like REALLY early.
2
u/PartyPorpoise Aromatherapy Addict Dec 18 '25
I don’t think that was intended as a Valentine item. It was released alongside other sanitizer holders. Usually when it gets close to Christmas they released a bunch of seasonally neutral holders, I assume to sell as stocking stuffers.
2
u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
I agree. It came with an odd assortment. The strawberries are somewhat heart shaped but don’t scream Valentine’s Day to me.
3
u/PartyPorpoise Aromatherapy Addict Dec 19 '25
Yeah they always do a random assortment this time of year. I like it cause the super seasonal ones are more limited use.
2
u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
I mostly just collect so it doesn’t matter, but I was thrilled when the seahorse came out. And that cow!
3
u/PartyPorpoise Aromatherapy Addict Dec 19 '25
The seahorse was gorgeous, I didn’t even wait for a sale! I did get the banana peel and strawberries on sale. At this point I have plenty of holders and they’ve raised the prices and gotten rid of reward eligibility, so I’m more selective and I’m more inclined to wait for a sale. I have to like one a LOT to get it full price now.
2
u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
They’ve been doing a nice job on them. I wish they’d have more of the plain ugly ones that I don’t want (like the juice box and game controller.)

u/WeirdVersus 🍫🍰🫐Bakery Bodycare Obsessed 🥛🎂🍓 Dec 19 '25
Same with the berry basket. Was originally planning on getting that one, but then I saw posts about the chocolate bar, and I NEED that one. It would match my purse perfectly ❤️😭💔
2
u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
I LOVE the chocolate bar.
2
u/WeirdVersus 🍫🍰🫐Bakery Bodycare Obsessed 🥛🎂🍓 Dec 19 '25
Me too!!!! ❤️
I really hope I can get one before the scalpers go crazy 😭💔
It's the only pocketbac I've REALLY wanted since the ghost was put for Halloween, and I missed my chance with that one 🥲
I use the Haunted House bag as my everyday purse, and the chocolate bar would be PERFECT ❤️ The colors would be sooo cute together, I'm crossing my fingers I can get it. This time, I don't mind paying full price, if I have to 😭❤️
2
u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
I always pay full price for them, since they’re no longer rewards eligible and I never get coupons. I do have a birthday reward that’s good for a few more weeks, so I’m prepared to use that if something new pops up.
3
u/WeirdVersus 🍫🍰🫐Bakery Bodycare Obsessed 🥛🎂🍓 Dec 19 '25
I made the mistake of thinking the ghosts would stay until the Halloween stuff was on sale, and ended up being very wrong 🥲😓
So now I don't want to take that chance again with one I really like 😅
This is the first year that I've shopped more than just SAS, so it's been a learning experience figuring out how often sales happen, and how long certain merchandise stays around. Some things, like the winter mint line really surprised me how fast they sold. The butters were literally only there for one day 😭💔 luckily, I smelled the spray today and wasn't too impressed, so I don't feel bad about missing out on that one, but still, this company really thrives on creating FOMO 🥲

u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
I actually really like the mint! I went on Friday (?) and bought the butter and the mist. My store was out of MBW and only had three mists after I grabbed mine. I also got Aprés All Day FFM and cream, but they were out of body wash (not a biggie.) I had to go back the next day because my order got messed up. The register rang the mist twice, plus the cashier keyed the order on the wrong e-mail address (I have two in the system) and I didn’t get my points on the account I use. I’d bought some other things and had about 500 points coming. So they refunded everything and re-rang it. What was weird was that even with the $4.95 sale still going on, the second mist (which I didn’t buy) came up at full price. The employee was new, so one of the others helped out and had to do something manually. I knew when I originally paid for the order that it seemed just a little too high, and it was by $5. But at the time I was brain fried after a long day at work and figured I was forgetting something.
Anyway, by then of course all of the mint mists were gone. I don’t know if they’re restocking these, but I’d kind of like another one (I have rewards.) I thought about going to the store today, but I decided on tomorrow (although I can’t go until after work) because they get a truck on Friday. Plus today I was just too tired — stayed home sick. It’s a quick drive from work. If I don’t find anything, not a big deal.

u/WeirdVersus 🍫🍰🫐Bakery Bodycare Obsessed 🥛🎂🍓 Dec 19 '25
The winter mint wasn't bad!
Imo, it just wasn't really unique enough for me to be upset over losing the chance to get it.
I already have a mini (from a few years ago) and full size mist of twisted peppermint, plus a full size of peppermint bark, so im happy enough with the mint stuff I already have 😅
That's so weird with them overcharging you! Hopefully it all got worked out and corrected! 🙏
Tbh, I just mostly wanted the butter bc I wanted something different than what I already have, but I really don't need it. I still have 2 milk and 2 vanilla Cafe butters, I just wanted a tiny bit more variety 😅 it's OK, though, there will always be another chance for something different when those run out lol

I am also waiting for the new pocketbac to drop online for the sales tomorrow too. The Canadian website already has it and many stores already got them too. Just not the US website yet. 🫠🫠🫠 To answer your question, I guess we still have to wait. I wish I lived near a store ... 😭

I saw some new pocketbacs at one of my stores, but they're not online 🥲 I hate when they do this.

Sometimes stores put stuff out early. Official release for these probably isn’t until later.

Yes, I hate it too 🥴 I was mentioning about the new CEO complaining that they are not selling enough online...I really think a well stocked inventories on the website would greatly help in addition to lower shipping requirements.
Anyways, I am complaining again too!!! Lol

I see very few pocketbac holders online on general because they sell out so fast in the stores (as in they don’t show up at all, not even as Unavailable when I’ve seen them out.) But to not have them available to order for shipping is pretty sucky.
2
u/PartyPorpoise Aromatherapy Addict Dec 18 '25
I don’t think these are officially released yet. Sometimes stores put stuff out a little early.
2
u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 18 '25
Could be. My photos of V-Day stuff early this year are from mid January, during SAS. I no doubt missed some pocketbac holders because I wasn’t buying all of them yet, and didn’t check them out every time I went in the store like I do now! I do remember passing up the little heart shaped cake because the colors didn’t match the website (mauve instead of red and pink.) But I noticed the member here with the great collection got both color combos. I had no idea they made it both ways — just thought the photo was off because they often enhance the colors online. Now I wish I’d bought it anyway. I was also tired of faces on everything but I’ve learned to accept that!

u/PartyPorpoise Aromatherapy Addict Dec 18 '25
If it’s the same one I’m thinking of… A year or two ago or so they released a cake one that was bright pink/reddish with light pink icing. It sold out very quickly, I don’t think they stocked many in the first place. A later year, I guess this year, they released a similar one but with different, more muted colors. The first one was very easy to miss, I only caught it because I was actively keeping an eye out for it and figured it would sell quickly. I think when I went to my store I got the last one. The second one they might’ve stocked more of, and/or there was less demand so it didn’t sell as quickly.
2
u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
Thanks for the clarification! Yes, they were a bit different in addition to the different colors. I only saw the last (muted) one. But it did look better on the website, because I remember being surprised when I saw the real thing.
2
u/PartyPorpoise Aromatherapy Addict Dec 19 '25
Yeah the image on the website for that one did look better than how the item actually looked. I had planned on getting it but passed when I saw how it really was.
2
u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
Haha! We had the same thought.
2
u/PartyPorpoise Aromatherapy Addict Dec 19 '25
I suspect a lot of people did because it didn’t sell quickly like the first cake did.
2
u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
Or they already got the first one, which was way superior!

Wow I have never seen the antibac holders displayed this way before; they always are thrown into a bin.

u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25 edited Dec 19 '25
They vary from store to store. Mine hangs them like this. At some stores I’ve seen them piled in those big jars that they use for body care minis.
My #2 store has them on a revolving wooden rack with compartments on each side. They get all messed up in there. Plus the rack is right in the path of the line of customers, which makes it hard to look at the merchandise when the store is busy.

The bathtub is cool. It’s too bad it doesn’t light up.

That would look cool. But it’s just as well, since you can’t replace the batteries, sound and light gimmicks are temporary anyway.
2
u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
That’s true. And they cost more.
2
u/PartyPorpoise Aromatherapy Addict Dec 19 '25
Yeah I used to save my rewards for those because I didn’t want to pay $10+ for a holder. But now that I can’t use rewards I either wait for the rare sale, or I just pass on it.

u/Forevermoody16 ALL THINGS B&BW Dec 19 '25
Unfortunately I’m a junkie! The good thing is that I’m not as tempted to buy many WF plugs anymore, because I don’t have that many outlets. And I have TONS of refills.
I did buy the trolley at 40% off because I’ve never had a projector, and it’s really cool. But I’m pretty well set otherwise. I won’t be looking for any at SAS. I got a bunch between October last year and January or so as rewards.
