If you had $100...

[MaitriBB]

... what would you buy for soapmaking?

DH and I are each taking $100 from our tax refund and spending it on ourselves. I haven't decided what to buy yet! I want a soap cutter, but a.) that's more than $100 and b.) I think DH is going to get me one of those for my birthday.

So, if you had $100 to blow on soapmaking stuff, what would it be?

 

[gratia]

Maybe some F/O's and E/O's that I would want to add to my line but had to save up for or just to experiment with. Or an oil you wanted to try. Im not into molds but if you are then a mold?

 

[2lilboots]

I would buy EOs and FOs with it. (cuz that is what I did)

 

[MaitriBB]

I'm eyeballing this if I can talk my DH into $200 (and I think I can since he's wanting to spend more than his $100 on a tablet)

Very Nice. I would like to find a really nice coffee FO.

You and me both! I've tried a coffee soap twice and both times had problems - the first time, I misjudged the size of the new mold so it was squat and ugly, and the second time (different FO), I got black spots everywhere

I don't plan on going all out and buying coffee butter to put in the soap. But a nice rich coffee scent, that doesn't smell fake. I have my coffee beans in the freezer awaiting this soap batch!!!!!!

Coffee EO, Coffee Butter combo. Or Some Austrailian Sandlewood. Probably the coffee combo though. I want to make a coffee soap but with all natural products, no FO. ................mmmmmmm........thinking about how delightful that soap would be

Vanilla, lavender and Coffee EO.... Im pretty sure thats all 100 would buy for me lol
That or a nice wooden mold

 

[marghewitt]

I would buy more shelving units to cure my soap on! I think that would buy me 3 from Costco. My husband builds all of my molds I'm so lucky he makes all of his own bee hives and has a great woodshop!

 

[marghewitt]

Now that I think about it I wonder if I could get him to build me some shelving.... hmmmm.

 

[melstan775]

I would stock up on the oils I wanted, buy some EOs and/or FOs, and if there was any money left, shelves to put it all on.

 

[Trxflyer]

1 hr with psychologist to try and kick this soaping addiction .....

Then go home, beg wife for another $100 and get the nicest EO I could buy with it.

 

[2lilboots]

Next time I have a couple extra bucks I am going to get a stainless steel water distillerer??sp* I have been checking them out at amazon. But I have spent this months soap budget.

 

[lizflowers42]

Rose EO Jasmine EO and Vanilla EO how great would it be to have those scents be the real deal?

Coffee EO, Coffee Butter combo. Or Some Austrailian Sandlewood. Probably the coffee combo though. I want to make a coffee soap but with all natural products, no FO. ................mmmmmmm........thinking about how delightful that soap would be

Hmmm, I may try it and see how strong I can get it. And if its not super duper strong I can always use it in a lotion bar ;-) Thanks

I am debating this myself! My DH and I are also spending some of our tax return on ourselves and there is SOOO much that I want to buy I can easily spend hundreds so I am trying to figure out my game plan.

I would like to order Coconut FO from a couple places that I have not ordered it from yet because I can't find a good one and I have someone that wants me to find a good one! Anyone find a good one anywhere?
