Christmas Soaps etc?

A fragrance I love is Winter Wonderland from Nurture. I like it all year, but I have had people comment that it smells like Christmas. It behaves perfectly and doesn't discolor.

I was just wondering about that scent. I added it to my cart just this morning.

Another fragrance I love for Christmas (and all year) is Alpine Cheer from JustScent. One of my all time favorites.

You guys are so nice, making new Christmasy soaps for everyone. I give people my leftover farmers market soap .

One of my Christmas soaps. Scented in Sparkling Peppermint.

I think you will like it - I hope so. It is strong, and I have found that .75-.8 oz PPO is plenty. It sticks and lasts. If you don't like strongly scented soaps, you can use even less.

Sorry....I don't!
This video shows the overall technique. (I use squirt bottles instead of pour pitchers.)

Gah! @The_Emerald_Chicken! I am stunned! Please please don't look at my reverse feather swirl on this thread! Yours is so perfect. I love the snow-laden branches. I have watched that video probably 1,000 times. Some day. Some day.

Just finished bagging and tagging part of my Christmas gift to my church for the homeless, and the elderly, and others that are struggling this year. I made 336 guest size soaps and put 3 different soaps in an organza gift bag. Every time I made a batch of soap, I made extra, and filled my 12 cavity mould, shrink wrapped them and put them in a box. So many different blends, colours and scents. I am delivering them this week to the church for them to do as they want with them. My church, like many, many, other churches around the world give to the needy every week. I have made many other batches for them to distribute, it helps me get better at designing and making my soaps.

I just used it and can confirm it behaves well, doesn't discolor and smells very christmas-y. It smells a little harsh in the bottle, but I think it mellows out a bit once you soap with it.

I also like Frosted Fir by Brambleberry, which I think is smells like quintessential woodsy Christmas. I thought it behaved well and didn't discolor. I messed up the design, but thats a user error!

They are beautiful. What a lovely win/win. Reminds me of the soapmeister (YT soaper who has an incredibly soothing voice). I think he soaps a lot for a homeless mission at his church.

What a wonderful thing to give something beautiful to the less fortunate. I was planning on giving some of my "less beautiful" soaps to a shelter, but with coronavirus it was hard to get out there to deliver them.
