Handmade soaps make a truly wonderful gift. You can often buy them locally if you’re lucky but if not, there is a beautiful range that’s available online. I buy them at our local farmers market often.
One of the best things about giving handmade soaps is that you know that your gift will be enjoyed and it’s a luxury that only a few people would buy for themselves – they’ll think of you every day when they use your very thoughtful present.
My family and friends all know that it’s a perfect item for me and I’ve been lucky enough to receive it often.
Handmade soap isn’t just valued for it’s gorgeous smell and its practical use – they are also made without any weird and funky ingredients so can be used by all ages. If they’re bought from a reliable company, you’ll often find that organic ingredients are used and most handmade products offer great benefits to the skin, thanks to the luxurious yet pure ingredients.
Or why not buy some of these as a treat for yourself? They are very affordable and great value for money as they last for ages. I’ve included the ‘buy’ buttons below to make it easy for you to order online.

Oatmeal and Extra Stout Guinness!
Florida Oranges
More about these beautiful handmade products
If you choose the Florida orange, one of the most important ingredients is mango butter – it’s almost magical. It is brilliant for the skin in just about every way -it’s even said to prevent stretch marks and sooth insect bites as well as treating almost any skin complaint or blemish.
Goats milk is another ingredient that can work wonders. Drinking goats milk can have an amazing effect when it comes to treating eczema and other skin problems. When used in this way, it’s getting to work right where it’s needed. In the goats milk and honey product, coconut milk is also used to give the most beneficial results.
The Guinness and oatmeal type is a great choice for a guy who doesn’t want to use a product with a flowery perfume – although the Florida orange variety is great for guys too. The brewer’s yeast has long been know to be effective in preventing acne and it has properties which fight bacteria of all types. And of course, the shea butter is another amazing ingredient for great skin care.
The company that produces these soaps (yes, they are all from the same cottage industry) make only very small batches at a time and are conscientious about using the finest ingredients. They also make their own wrappers for their products too so you won’t need to worry about excessive and unnecessary packing.
The company consists of two partners, one a naturalist and one a cook! One of the owners likens making soap to creating fabulous meals. After all, both consist of mixing and blending the finest ingredients in the perfect proportions. The original recipes come from his partner’s Brazilian grandmother.
When I get a new bar of handmade soap, I cut in in half or even into quarters if it’s a large bar. One goes to live by the bathroom sink and the others go into my lingerie drawer! I use store them in the closet too because they give my clothes a wonderful smell.
I have a flat wooden dish in my bathroom which I’ve lined with pebbles. When I’ve used my homemade soap, I put it on the pebbles. This lets it dry out well without the bottom of the bar going soft and squishy.

Here are the states with no statewide mask requirement.
Alaska: Alaska does not require the use of masks, limit group size or business operations. All the state does is encourage Alaskans to do their part to limit the spread of Covid-19, recommending that residents practice social distancing and wear a mask, without any mandate. The mayor of Anchorage has signed an order requiring people to wear face coverings in public.
Arizona: Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, allows individual counties to mandate a mask, but does not have a statewide initiative. Scottsdale was the first to make masks mandatory starting June 19. Other major municipalities with requirements include Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff.
Florida: There is no statewide mask requirement.
Georgia: Statewide, masks are required for some essential employees, including restaurants and personal care services employees. Several counties and cities have mask mandates.
Idaho: The state does not have a requirement; several municipalities do, including Boise.
Iowa: No statewide requirement.
Mississippi: On September 4, Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, lifted the state face covering requirement. Just over a month later and amid rising case numbers, Reeves signed an executive order requiring face coverings in counties with higher Covid-19 case numbers. That order expires on Nov. 11.
North Dakota: (Update: Statewide requirement announced on Nov. 13.)No statewide requirement. Fargo has a local requirement.
Oklahoma: The city council in Oklahoma City voted in July to approve an emergency public safety ordinance requiring face coverings in indoor public places.
South Carolina: Several counties and cities, including Charleston and Columbia, have mask mandates.
South Dakota: Gov. Kristi Noem, a Republican, has taken a hands-off approach to Covid-19. In October, she wrote in an op-ed that the government should not mandate a mask requirement. “As I’ve said before, if folks want to wear a mask, they should be free to do so,” she wrote. “Similarly, those who don’t want to wear a mask shouldn’t be shamed into wearing one.” South Dakota is second to North Dakota in the number of coronavirus cases per 100,000 people.
Tennessee: No statewide mandate, but Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican, signed an executive order granting the mayors in 89 counties the authority to issue mask requirements.
Wyoming: No statewide mandate. Laramie County, home to Cheyenne, has a mask requirement that went into effect on November 1. However, according to CNN affiliate KGWN, the county’s district attorney’s office has said violations of the mandate will not be prosecuted.
