Gate-side gifts sorted before T1 security at SCL
Bath & Body Works in Terminal T1 sits landside, handy if you’re meeting someone or checking in early and want last‑minute gifts before security. The store runs typical mall hours for Santiago, roughly 10:00–21:00 depending on the day, so it’s usually open for afternoon and evening departures. Expect the standard US-style layout: walls of shower gels and body creams, plus a central table piled with seasonal promos.
Full-size body lotions and shower gels often run around the CLP $8,000–$12,000 range when there’s a 2-for or 3-for deal, and their pocket hand sanitizers sit closer to CLP $1,500 each. Scent lines like Japanese Cherry Blossom, Warm Vanilla Sugar, and A Thousand Wishes show up here, though limited editions rotate and can sell through before the weekend rush. If you’re tight on cabin bag liquid limits, focus on minis and travel-sized mists instead of the big 236 ml bottles.
Three-wick candles are stocked, but these add real weight in a carry-on; plan on roughly 400 g per candle plus glass. Pricing usually mirrors Chilean mall stores more than US outlets, so don’t expect duty-free style discounts. Staff typically speak basic English plus Spanish, and you can pay in CLP with major cards like Visa and Mastercard. Lines build after about 18:00 when evening long‑hauls to North America and Europe start loading.
Tip: if you’re connecting into T2 later, buy here in T1 first; this is your easier shot at gifts before you get into the heavier immigration and security flow on the international side.
