Gift Ideas Under $25 - Handcrafted Soap Bars from ManHands

A hearty welcome to ManHands Soap - the newest addition to my line package.  I don't normally take on new lines this time of year, but I'm so excited about this one that I made an exception!

ManHands Soap is the manly scented soap company that you need in your shop immediately - especially in your men's gift section. 

The line was born one day when founder Adam Anderson went to wash his hands and noticed the only soaps he could find in the house were a bunch of girly scents - scents no man should ever have to smell like! 

Among the unique, manly scents are such evocative names as Bacon (#1 seller - no surprise), Cash, Cedar Log Cabin, Pine Tar, Pizza, Zombie Repellant, Lumberjack, Corn Chips and...well, you get the idea.  There are many more.

Bacon is the #1 selling scent

Each 3-oz bar is handmade individually and tested on dudes, not animals.  It is a glycerin-based soap formula that is palm oil-free and vegan. 

Retail each bar for $6.00.  Opening order minimum is only 50 bars, so let's get these in your store right away so you can delight your customers with the gift suggestion for the man who is so hard to buy for.

Gifts Ideas Under $25 - Hand Cremes from Lollia

Hand cremes from the Wish and Breathe collections

Luxury hand cremes from Lollia are always a welcome gift.  For your customers seeking a thoughtful gift that is not too personal, make Lollia's hand cremes your go-to suggestion this season.

Available in seven distinct, romantic fragrances, each hand crème is a rich formulation of shea butter, aloe and avocado oil.

Lollia is well-known for beautiful packaging, but it is also an exceptional product.  Each collection also includes an eau de parfum, a shower gel, bath salts, bubble bath and a soap.  Because each one is a consumable, users will return to your shop when they need more.

Relax is Lollia's #1 selling giftable fragrance collection

Still not convinced this is an ideal gift suggestion?  The hand crème is such a popular item that Lollia offers it in 3 sizes:

• Full size (4-oz) - retail for $25
• Travel size (1.25-oz) - retail for $15
• Petite Treat size (.33-oz) - retail for $7.50

Not sure which scent to get someone?  Relax (pictured above) is Lollia's #1 best selling giftable fragrance collection.  It's hard to go wrong with this lavender & honey based fragrance.

Keep in mind that the smaller sizes are also great impulse items, so fill a jar or vase with them to promote multi-unit sales.

If you're not currently a Lollia retailer, it's not too late to get the collection in your store for holiday sales.  All you need to choose is which 3 fragrance collections to start with (and I'm here to help you with that), and the opening order assortment is already set.
