Sonshine Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I would like to buy some scented bar soaps for gifts. I don't know anything about soaps other than what I buy at Walmart. Online or instore - either one is okay. Any suggestions? I don't mind paying high than the regular price of course, but don't want ridiculously priced soaps.

MaMa2005 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Caswell Massey has some wonderful soaps. (http://www.caswellmassey.com/bar-soaps.aspx) My in laws give this as a Christmas present every year - we usually receive the 6 bar box, but some of the 3 bar boxes are nicely priced. I even saw some on sale! (Make sure you look at more than the first page!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Mungo Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 My favorite is Lush. If you shop at an actual store (they are mostly in large cities) you can ask for a $5 piece or whatever and they will cut it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belacqua Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I get all my fancy soap (ie: the stuff I hide from everybody else) at our local farmers' market. There are three or four vendors, and I've tried all sorts of jazzy scents. I imagine most farmers' markets would have something similar.

Britomart Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 My favorite shop on Etsy for soaps is this one. The first time I ordered from her, it was a gift for an out-of-state relative, and she wrapped the soaps very nicely and included a note from me, which was great. Then she sent a free sample to me, and it smelled so good, I ended up ordering for myself! :) I've ordered from her a couple more times, and always been very happy. I also like that you can order samplers from her, so you can try a bunch of different scents and see what you like. A lot of vendors on Etsy seem to be doing that now, and I think it's neat. I've seen it for things like yarn and mineral makeup too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laundrycrisis Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) I have used products from all of these companies: Lorreta Ellis: http://www.thesoappeople.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=2&Itemid=26 Laughing Rabbit: http://www.lrsoaps.com/ Vermont Country Store: http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/products/apothecary-products/body-care-products/natural-soaps/3-Vermont-Country-Store-Soaps.html?evar3=search Lately I buy all my own soap from Mountain Rose Herbs, made by Oregon Soap Company: http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/search/search.php?refine=y&keywords=soap&x=0&y=0 gosh I kind of feel the need to order some soap now :tongue_smilie: I came back to add: Pier I used to sometimes have really nice soaps. I don't know if they still do... also maybe Cost Plus World Market ? Caswell Massey and Crabtree and Evelyn are also fun. Sometimes Whole Foods has nice soap.

GraceinMD Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I agree with JudoMom and Crissy: http://www.amyjosoap.com (Amy's a WTM mom!) I have sent her soaps as gifts that were GREATLY appreciated, and I have kept a fair amount for myself. It's really good soap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonshine Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Mrs. Mungo - Do you know anything about the bath bombs on the Lush site you recommended. Those look really fun, but how many baths do they last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
