I love giving homemade gifts for Christmas....and I LOVE receiving them, too.
I love giving homemade gifts for Christmas....and I LOVE receiving them, too.
The thought and love that pour into something handmade are just so special.
If I don't have the time to make a gift, many times I will find a way to support Moms who are running a business at home.
Meet my friend Amanda.
She is an amazing Mother and has been such an encouragement to me.
She also makes the loveliest handmade soap.
It is 100% natural, with no artificial colors or scents, and preservative and chemical free.
Just what I love in my home!
I love her soap and with scents like Rosemary Mint, Sadie's Lavender, and Ava's Almond ...who can resist?
Amanda was kind enough to offer Blissfully Content readers 10% off of their order from her shop: Levi's Lye Soap.
Just use the coupon code: blissfullycontent10 during checkout.
They truly make GREAT stocking stuffers!
Amanda is also offering 2 fresh new bars to one lucky ducky reader!
They are PERFECT for Christmas!
Peppermint Scrub
"This scent is cooling, refreshing and very fragrant. It brings the smell of summertime peppermint to wintertime in the form of a nourishing bar of soap that will exfoliate your winter skin so well."
and Virginia Cedarwood.
"Handmade especially for Matthew, this scent is sweet and woody. Gentle enough to calm nerves after a long day for the working man, while abrasive enough to scrub away dirt with added grits. It will deter insects during a day in the woods. It is perfect to store in his closet and drawers to repel moths while not in use."
With nourishing ingredients like coconut, olive and vegetable oils, local spring water, and grits the soap is cleansing and nourishing!
We have been using both bars and they are so wonderful....refreshing, they have a great lather, and exfoliating. My skin feels hydrated and clean.
To enter, just leave a comment!
For a second chance to enter, visit Amanda's shop and tell me which handmade soap is your favorite in a separate comment.
Be sure and leave a way for me to contact you!
Winner will be drawn on Monday, December 3rd and will receive 1 Peppermint Scrub and 1 Virginia Cedarwood handmade soap....just in time for the holidays!
Good luck!

OH,I can already smell the gorgeousness from here.Thanks for the chance..xx
How I love Amanda! Since the baby came, we lost touch (how do you do that when you live 15 miles from one another??) I am sure that these two soaps are amazing -- I love her oatmeal soap for our baby, and the lavender....
Best luck to all the entrants!
I agree Julia, homemade gifts are the best!
What a lovely giveaway...I would probably love the almond or the peppermint soap!
I love homemade soaps! Those two scents sound wonderful--thanks for the giveaway!

Me too! I love Amanda. In fact we just "talked" via email the other day.
I've been thinking about her soaps... needing to restock. May I have a chance to win her two newest scents?
(thanks)
Cederwood and Almond. Although I cannot speak high enough of the Honey Oatmeal or the Lavender. That stuff is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would love to try this homemade soap for the first time!
I think my fav to try would be Sadie's Lavender. Lavender is so calming.
Oh love Amanda, I can truly say that, somehow people come into your life, and you are just a beter person for it.
Having had a sample of her soap, and loving it, i can say first hand how wonderful it is.
Anyone would be thrilled to receive such a gift!!!!
I would try the peppermint, how wonderful for the holidays!!!
How wonderful! I love homemade all natural products. Thanks for the chance to win!

I love homemade gifts. I wish my family members did, that would make gift giving so much easier and nicer.
I would like to try the Virginia Cedarwood ... I really appriecate when there are products for men ... seems like so many things are for women and men get left out. Thanks, Julie and Amanda!
I hope this contest is open to Canadians...the soap looks beautiful.
I took a look at the shop and I would like to try the lavender soap - nice and relaxing!
What a wonderful gift to give or to receive! Lovely and I love the heart behind it all :)

I would love to try the honey oatmeal soap! Sounds like it would smell good and be a good exfoliant!

She packages them with sweet little ribbon... I know I will like her soup just because of this little detail.
I have always wanted to try my hand at making soap but have yet to actually do it.

Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility
issues. When I look at your blog site in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, superb blog!
Check out my webpage :: mac baren dark twist
I checked out the website and I would love to try the virginia cedarwood for my family!! Thanks for a chance to win. Dawn

Homemade soap is wonderful - and that you have a friend who makes it must be a blessing indeed!
I'm a sucker for all things lavender so Sadie's Lavender sounds like heaven to me!
I too love homemade soaps. The store bought kind seems to smell stronger and stronger, and not in a good way :(. Thanks for a chance to win
