It's a very addictive hobby...but soap doesn't wear that fast and there's only so much you can give to friends and family before they start to think you're trying to tell them something
So, assuming you don't do this for a business, what do you guys do with your little treasures? Do you have cupboards full of soap bars??
Hi npsmama!
I give mine to neighbors, especially those who are struggling, the elderly in my town. But the one I really enjoy...is giving them as "Thank You" gifts to my children's teachers, teacher aids, principles (they each go to a different school). I give them to the receptionists at their pediatric clinic, as well as my doctor's office. I give them to the ladies at my local cable company's office. My landlord, My park manager, the waitress/waiter that we see regularly when we eat out, The manager of the restaurant, the kids soccer-baseball-football coach, the girls dance instructor, the piano teacher, my pastor, the youth pastor, childcare/nursery director & aids, the church secretary, that deacon that is always there when you need him. Your options are virtually endless when you start giving them away like that!
And it is SOO rewarding! Especially if I have had a bad day or week. I make a point to give some away. And it always makes me feel better!
And I love the charity idea. I have thought of doing that, many times. But wanted to make sure my donations would actually get to those they were made for and not be discarded due to policy. Thanks for sharing yours with us! I will add the address to my bookmarks!
