Lingonberry Spice Cold Process Soap

1. A Jolly Ride Gift Packaging

For a simple and festive packaging idea, wrap the soap bar in wax paper, adhere a piece of washi tape, and layer with distressed wax paper and word sticker.

Don’t have a word sticker on-hand? Consider cutting out text from the pages of an old book or magazine.

2. A Festive & Pretty Palette

These Lingonberry Soap bars are pretty in pink, a stunning packaging idea for mothers, sisters, and girlfriends alike! Simply wrap soap bar in patterned paper, layer with card stock, attach ribbon, and add a couple sprigs of foliage to complete the presentation.

 

3. Perfectly Packaged With Natural Elements & Stripes

For a natural and festive look, wrap the soap bar in dark patterned paper, attach ribbon, and add twigs as desired.

4. A Touch of Pine and Cinnamon

This holiday-inspired packaging comes with scents that celebrate the season! Those who receive it will be sure to treasure their wonderful gift during the cold, winter months! To make, tear a strip of card stock to leave one, rough edge and wrap the bar of soap in it. Attach jute twine, cinnamon sticks, and pine or rosemary sprigs.

 

5. Modern Lingonberry Spice

We’ve made packaging a cinch with these pre-made labels! Simply print your free label, hole-punch each end, and thread baker’s twine through to adhere it around the soap. Wrapping your Lingonberry Spice bar couldn’t be easier, and we’ve included four label designs for you to choose from.

Tip: Try printing your labels on Kraft paper or card stock for a natural look.

 

Wild Rose Floral Bath Salts

6. Tiny & Tied With Twine

Always be prepared with a gift for any guest or neighbor who drops by with these small, adorable jars. Pour the bath salt into a jar with cork stopper or seal-able lid, and attach baker’s twine for added charm.

7. Scoop & Savor

Soaking in a warm bath is exactly what you and your loved ones will need to fight off the winter chill. Pour the bath salt into this clear jar with wooden spoon, wrap in baker’s twine, and tie to hold together the scoop. Add trimmings or foliage as desired.

 

8. Flirty Vials Sealed with Wax

Vials or test tubes can make any gift effortless to put together and delightful to receive! Fill each test tube with floral bath salts, attach a gift tag with twine, and tie test tubes together with ribbon.

Take it up a notch: Melt wax over the cork stopper to make an even tighter, airtight seal.

 

Handmade Cashmere Soap

Add a touch of elegance to your gifting with this chic packaging idea. These would also make swoon-worthy favors at a bridal shower or other get-together with your gal pals. Simply wrap the hand-poured soap bar with ribbon, tie into a bow, and attach a jewelry embellishment, such as this clip-on earring that lost her partner!

Pumpkin Bubbling Bath Truffles
