Dope Soap

Soap and Paper Factory Bella Collection is the lovely little swag that stocking stuffers and hostess gifts are made of.

Now available exclusively at Anthropologie, these wholesome indulgences for hands and home are hand-crafted by founders Shannon and Lisa. They boast all-natural ingredients and adorable, individually designed packaging.

The three lush fragrance options Bella, Midnight, and Close are guaranteed to please even the most discerning noses. I was given Midnight—fresh cut gardenia mixed with calming jasmine. SOOOO very good. And the adorably boho label is almost too cute to destroy by opening!

Stock up on these fab soaps and candles and you'll surely be the hit of the holiday season!

Soap & Paper Factory soap and candle tins are available exclusively at Anthropologie, as well as soapandpaperfactory.com

Shea Butter Soap, $8. 

Candle Tin, $16.

Where Do We Go For Gift Guidance?

Need something spectacular for your boss or stumped as to what to get your sister?

Whether you need a standard gift or something exquisite these are go-to sites, many with helpful gift finders:

Aedes de Venustas-- For something truly lovely.
Anthropologie-- Did you really think I don't cruise their site for every occasion?
Bath & Body Works-- Who doesn't love a delicious soap? I highly recommend Creamy Pumpkin. Sounds strange, but have yet to meet the person who doesn't love the smell. B&BW also carries the amazing Slatkin & Co. candles, as well as the C.O. Bigelow line (the SPF 15 Mentha Lip Balm Stick is my favorite).
Birchbox--Have a friend who loves product & is impossible to shop for? Set her (or him, no judgement) up with a subscription and they will get a box of deluxe samples every month. Who wouldn't love that?

Burke Decor-- More great gifts than you can shake a stick at-- but you will be so busy looking, you'll forget the stick. ;)
Dogeared-- Great jewelry, well priced, and their Karma in Action pieces go to help charities (One Voice, Girls Learn International, Inc., Heal The Bay, Stand Up To Cancer). It's basically giving two gifts in one!
Etsy-- Are you THE person who doesn't use Etsy? Handmade, vintage, pretty much anything your heart desires. Go now.
FredFlare-- Even Elle Magazine featured some FF gifts this year! For everything from stocking stuffers to a little something special for your favorite hipster.
L'Occitane-- Can't say enough wonderful things about this brand! The products are phenominal, and the company is fantastic. Everyone needs their hand cream-- buy a Hand Indulgence set and put one in each stocking.
LUSH-- Of course LUSH is doing amazing sets, including My Fair Lady: $8.50 of this gift is donated towards our Charity Pot fund, which goes directly towards grass roots charities working hard to fight for animal rights, protect our environment and create better social conditions.
Tarte-- Amazing beauty products, and save 30% with the code FFDEC through 12/12 AND Free Shipping on orders over $40!
Teleflora-- Make your house more festive, or send to someone. The Mercury Glass containers are beautiful.
Vermont Country Store-- For the classic, nostalgic, and hard-to-find.
Votre Vu-- Great gift sets! Love the Duette Luxe Lips & Hand Creme duo--Great hand cream (rich, delicious), fantastic lip balm in the cap!
