I'm just starting CP soaping but have been making body butters and lotion bars and lip balms for a couple of years. I give them away at work (my friends don't seem as interested) and have made substantial donations to silent auctions for the kids' activities. I don't want to start a business because I don't want the hassle of it (I follow GMP but don't like all the administrivia of it, and I dislike the labelling, packaging, etc.), especially because I want to make what *I* want. Donating/giving seems to be the way to go? I like the shelters idea....fancy soap and lip balm might be a nice treat. Any other ideas?
