The Gift that Keeps on Giving - and a SALE!

Once in a while someone browsing my table of goods at Pike Place Market will ask if soap is an appropriate gift. It's funny, because we don't typically give deodorant or toothpaste as gifts, yet soaps (especially fancy ones) are well-received.  I think soap and other body products (like lip balm and lotion bars, ahem) are good gifts for a few reasons: everyone has a use for them, they are very affordable, and a high-quality body care product is a nice luxury.

Seattle Rainwater Soap Co. products are great gifts for many occasions:

• Birthday
• Get well
• Thank you
• Mothers/Fathers Day
• Boss's Day
• Secretary's Day
• Housewarming
• New baby
• Valentine's Day
• Congratulations
• Hanukkah
• Christmas
• "Just because"

Here's a short list of people who might like to receive a few bars of soap, a Skin Smoothie, Lip Smoothie, or a gift set:

• Mom
• Sister
• Daughter
• Spouse
• Girl / Boy Friend
• Niece
• Mother-in-law
• Sister-in-law
• Aunt
• Grandma
• Cousin
• Neighbor
• Co-workers
• Hostesses
• Party guests
• Roommates (it's always good to be sure they smell nice!)
• Friend who watches your house/dog/cat/plants while you are on vacation
• Teachers
• Coaches
• Men (yes, men use my products too; they especially enjoy Elliott Bay Rum, Cascade Trails, Ginger Zest, Almond Latte, and Chai)
• Yourself!

My prices are already very affordable (have you noticed that everything, including gift sets, is under $20?), but to make it even easier to cross everyone off your winter holiday giving list I am sweetening the pot a little.  Now through December 20, 2010, buy 10 or more single soap sampler sets (one each soap, Skin Smoothie, and Lip Smoothie) regularly priced at $12 and pay just $10 each. These qualify for free shipping (to a single address), as do all purchases over $100. I have added a special line to the Gift Set ordering page for these. You will also find a special line on the Soap page for a discounted price on bulk orders of 10 or more bars of soap.  Both deals are valid at Pike Place Market as well as online.

(Did I forget a recipient or an occasion? Let me know in the comments! I'd love to hear who you are giving my products to!)
