ISO soap dishes

[Skatergirl46]

I’m wondering if anyone here knows of a supplier of cheap wood soap dishes? I want to make gifts of soap for my friends and I want to include a soap dish so that the soap will last as long as possible for their enjoyment. I did this once several years ago and some of those people are still using the little wood soap dishes. I always tell people not to let handmade soap sit in water, but it has been my experience that they just go home and put it in whatever dish they already have, good or not for keeping soap dry. I could make them, it’s just that I’d rather spend my time making the soap. TIA

I like these. Good value and decent quality. You have to closely check them though as I've had one or two in each box that need to be re-glued.

How many do you need? I have a gal in Claremont that makes mine. PM me I am picking up 100 dishes sometime this week.

I've ordered these several times. They come from China so they do take some time, but they are very nice and work great.

I'm interested in the same thing as Skatergirl. Can anyone provide a comparison of the wood slats vs the recycled mesh type (other than cost)? I've been using the mesh because it seems like easier cleanup, but they're definitely more expensive, which is real consideration when you don't sell. I'd actually like to find that material in bulk and cut my own, but haven't run across it.

I have a girl that will make them for approx $1.25 each, which is nice because they are made in the US!! If anyone is interested just pm me. I have her make them out of pine and they last forever

I haven't searched for the best prices, but I think vinyl pool mats like these are what a friend used and cut herself. Finding them in a recycled material would be even better.

These are what I use, though they might be a bit pricey: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ABPB0UI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've got 6 of them lined up along the back of my kitchen sink and another two in the shower.

That’s what I have in mind. I am thinking about maybe 30 of them will do.

I am waiting to hear back for price and if my friend can get them made before the holidays. These are cut from one piece of pine so no legs to fall off, beveled and sanded with a belt sander. I have been using my original dish I purchased 15 years ago from a soaper that convinced me they are the best for soap. For anyone that wants a few I will sell off a few. Will be picking up 100 sometime this week. The pic shows 2 new in shrink wrap and 1 that has been in my shower for approx 3 yrs

I will have 100 dishes available for $1.25 each + shipping if anyone is interested just PM me. I sell these for $5.00 ea and they go like crazy during the holidays. These ARE NOT from China but made for me by a vendor friend of mine. For the price they make a nice little gift for a customers that purchase multiple bars of soap. Customers love little "Thank-you" gifts.
