Just thinking....I suppose I could always give my soaps to a charity shop...that way the soap would be doing some good to someone...

To my shame, I never crossed my mind to donate my soap...but it's definitely the answer to my predicament. I'm in the UK so I'm not sure how that would work. I wonder if the shelters here would legally only be able to accept soap from a registered, certified soap-maker (which I am not and...
