Choosing Scented Gift Soap
Fragrance preferences are very personal and can make the task of choosing a scented gift soap a bit perplexing unless you are very familiar with the recipient's likes and dislikes. While there is no magic solution to this dilemma, after 13 years of making and selling our soap, we do have a few tips to take a bit of the guess work out of your search for the perfect bar.
1. When feeling a bit uncertain, choose a subtler, more delicate fragrance over one that is more vibrant and defined...unless, of course, a fragrance with spunk is what you are looking for! Our Shop By Fragrance page can help you determine which of our Still-Point Soap scents fall into which fragrance category helping take some of the hmmmm? out of shopping for fragrances on-line.
2. Use your powers of observation! Have you noticed that your child's teacher has rose scented lotion on her desk, a rose screen saver on her computer, and drinks her coffee out of a rosey mug? If so, than chances are pretty good that she would be tickled pink with a bar of our beautifully handcrafted Rose soap as a special thank you gift.
3. Tap your powers of deductive reasoning! Like people, fragrances often share similar endearing qualities which lend them a unique character and charm! So, if you know someone who is very fond of lavender, it is likely that they will also enjoy other scents falling within the "herbal" family of fragrances. Our Still-Point Soap Collections gift soap are three-bar ensembles featuring soaps which share their own natural affinity helping simplify the task of choosing which combination of bars to include in your gift.
4. Knowing a bit about a person's interests or passions can help narrow the choice. Do you have a friend or relative that has just recently decorated their bed or bath in a Victorian motif? Select a scent of soap that compliments their Victorian flair! Further customize your soap gift by tucking the bar into a beautifully beaded bag in their favorite color. Our Custom Gifts page can show you how. Is someone you know longing to take a tropical vacation during the cold of winter? Wish them Bon Voyage in style and surprise them with Tropical Delights Collection of gift soap, allowing them start their vacation a bit early.
5. Go with the flow and build on a theme. If you are assembling seasonal gift baskets for your friends and would like to tuck in a bar of soap, select a soap that fits into your chosen basket theme or color scheme. Is the gift recipient an avid gardner? A bar of Herbal Breeze scented soap would be a great addition and the herbal print tissue-wrap would add a colorful accent befitting the theme. Nestle a scented bar in a colorful pair of gardening clogs to give your gift that added touch!
6. Are you needing to buy gifts for a group? Than look no further! Simply select a variety of soaps, arrange them on a decorative platter or in a seasonal basket and allow your friends to have the enjoyment of selecting their own favorite bar for themselves! This crowd pleaser is especially handy when planning bridal or baby showers or a Girls' Night Out! And don't forget your office staff. Administrative Assistant's Day is just around the corner on April 23, 2008!
....and finally
7. Relax and have some fun! Don't make selecting a soap harder than it really is. If you like the soap, chances are your friends and relatives will too! If you still feel a bit hesitant about choosing that perfect bar...offer a Still-Point Soap gift certificate instead and let them in on the fun of selecting that special bar for themselves.
