Why Handmade Soap Makes the Perfect Gift

~ All-Natural Ingredients – True Lather soaps are made with high-quality bases like goat milk and natural glycerin—ideal for sensitive skin.
~ Affordable Luxury – With artisan scents and skin-loving ingredients, they offer spa-like quality without the high price tag.

Creative Gift Wrapping Ideas for Handmade Soap
Want to make your gift stand out? Here are some easy and adorable wrapping ideas to elevate your soap-gifting game:
~ Twine + Kraft Paper – Wrap each bar in brown kraft paper, tie with twine, and tuck in a sprig of dried lavender or rosemary for a rustic, farmhouse look.
~ Muslin Bags – Place the soap in a cotton drawstring bag (you can stamp it with a message or name). Perfect for eco-conscious friends.
~ Mini Baskets – Combine a few bars in a woven basket with a washcloth and wooden soap dish for a mini spa set.
~ Custom Tags – Handwrite short notes like “You’re the balm” or “Have a bubbly birthday” for a playful touch.
~ Clear Wrap + Ribbon – Show off the soap’s natural beauty with clear cellophane and a colorful ribbon—especially nice for holiday stockings.
Pro tip: Include the name of the soap and scent on a tag so the recipient knows what they’re getting!
