Hello! The holidays are just around the corner, but there’s still time to seriously think about the upcoming weeks and plan your approach. It’s easy these days to lose track of time, get all stressed out, and think to yourself (or out loud) that you’ll be glad when it’s all over. Hopefully you can find some ways around that. Do you sometimes think that you really just don’t have the holiday spirit? Roy Smith said it well: “He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.” I think for those who have Christmas in their heart, “Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful” (Norman Vincent Peale). I’m here with some shopping ideas and help, visuals, inspiration and information to help get you on the right track to holiday spirit and festivity. I hope the upcoming weeks and holidays find your heart overflowing with holiday spirit, and that your time with family and friends is truly magical.

Shopping There’s a school of thought out there that suggests there is somehow a correlation between the price tag on a present and the amount of love and affection you carry in your heart; that if you really love someone, you must spend a lot of money on a gift for them. Not only is that not true, but the most expensive gift in the world can’t take the place of a gift of time or a gift from the heart. In fact, the older I get, the more I realize that the only gifts I really want for Christmas are those that can’t be bought. So start out telling those special someones in your life how much they mean to you. Try to get away from just numbly checking off items on a wish list. Think of ways you can give of yourself, of your time, from your heart. Then, if you’re so in-clined, think about some gifts of pampering from Susan’s Sumptuous Soaps. Give your loved ones more reasons to take some extra time out of their busy schedules to relax, unwind, and nurture their body and mind. Dare I say that gifts from Susan’s Sump-tuous Soaps contain more love than any com-mercially-manufactured gift can ever begin to offer; more quality body-loving ingredients; more ways to convey thought-fulness than a lot of STUFF (and taxing your finances). Because after all, it’s not about the price tag.

Gift Ideas From Susan’s
Sumptuous Soaps A SINGLE ITEM: Looking for a gift for a teacher? A secret pal? A neighbor? A bus driver? A mail de-livery person? A bar of Susan’s Sumptuous Soaps would make a wonderful little gift - either the “standard” bar or a SUDS FOR STUDS labeled bar! In the pages that follow, you’ll see the soaps that are currently on the shelves. $5 each. A pot of Luscious Lip Butter would be a great little gift also! $4 each. Guest-Sized Soaps come in a package of five and you can choose from Baby Bee, Or-nate Heart, Basic Heart, or standard mini-bar ($8). There are a number of Gift Soaps shown on my website priced from $8 to $10. A package of “Petits Fours Glacés” consists of 12 half ounce soaps ($15). How about a block of Goat’s Milk Soap (without Silk) that weighs about a pound? It’s uncut so you can cut it into bars in the size you like best. If you order Oatmeal, Milk & Honey or Wild Mountain Honey, I’ll put some cute little bees on top! $15. A CELLOPHANE GIFT BAG: A pre-designed cellophane gift bag includes three beautiful Victorian heart goat’s milk soaps (approximately 9 oz. total) in your single fragrance choice. It is tied with hand-frayed ribbon made out of some beautiful roses fabric. $12. Have you got a fisherman/woman on your list? How about a cellophane gift bag containing four bars of Fisherman’s Soap, tied off with a bobber? $20. A GIFT BASKET: Do you want to have me create a special Susan’s Sumptuous Soaps gift basket or box for you based upon your desired budget? Is there someone on your list who would appreciate a gift box of Susan’s Sumptuous Soaps products all coordinated in one fragrance line? I can put together a gift box including 4 soaps, an 8 oz. Crème de la Crème Hand Cream, Bath & Body Oil (4 oz.), Fizzing Bath Powder (16 oz.), and a Sumptuous Solid Perfume (1/2 oz.) - all in your choice of the same fragrance - for $80. I can include a lovely notecard with a person-alized note from you, if you wish. I can even have it delivered for you!

HOLIDAY MAIL FOR HEROES
Participate in the Red Cross Holiday Mail for Heroes program. This program enables Americans to “Give Something That Means Something.” The Red Cross is inviting the public to send cards of thanks, encouragement and holiday cheer to members of our US Armed Forces, veterans and military families, many of whom will be far away from home this holiday season. Changes have been made this year to the program so check their website: http://www.redcross.org/support/get-involved/holiday-mail-for-
heroes
TOYS FOR TOTS Participate in the Toys for Tots Program by donat-ing a new, unwrapped toy as a Christmas gift to a less fortunate child in the community. You can find more information on their website about the program, as well as other ways in which you could contribute:

“Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t

Our hearts grow tender
with childhood memories and love of kindred,
and we are better throughout the year
for having, in spirit, become a child again
at Christmastime.
