Fun with Gift Baskets

I had so much fun getting creative with our gift baskets this year. For some of my family members, I made up these collections based on things they liked. My favorite was the gorgeous sunflower bundt pan DH found for my MIL (who loves to bake). The soaps and sponge looked so pretty all wrapped up in the cake pan.

I loved some of the dishes we found so much that I bought as many as were avaliable in order to make more of these lovely gifts next year.

The last of my gingerbread and snowmen soaps fit in nicely as little fillers. I might do them again next year; they sure were cute!

I loved watching my family open their soap gifts; they could smell the soaps as soon as the paper was off, even before opening the boxes and were excited to see which soaps I had put in for them. :)

The company did very well through the holidays. Best sellers this month were: The Variety gift collection, the Jumble, Cold Hard Steel, M-81, and Sweet Dreams. Be watching the site for the tart 'Winter Grapefruit' to make a limited appearance; it was a huge hit when I first offered it so I am bringing it back for the rest of the season. Needs another week or so on the curing rack and then be sure to get one while you can! :)
