Packaging and presentation play a predominant role in the gift-giving of
your handmade soaps, salts and lotions. Below are several packaging ideas,
but don’t let this brief list limit your creativity!
Paper
is a popular packaging medium because of the variety of papers
available. You can use brown Kraft paper, marbled paper, gift
wrap, wallpaper, any kind of paper you want. Your creativity is
the limit! You can use your computer to add designs and logos to
plain paper or you can paint or draw on the paper for an added
personal touch. You can wrap individual bars like a gift and
either leave plain or add extra embellishment by tying with ribbons, cording, raffia or lace.
Boxes and baskets are nice containers
for soap, especially when you fill the boxes with other materials. You can
fill the box or basket halfway with herbs, dried flowers or potpourri that
matches the scent of your soap. Gift basket fillings, other toiletries,
washcloths or sponges also make great fillers in the basket with your loofah soap.
Once you have added the filler and loofah soap, wrap the box or basket in
cellophane.
