Pleasant Surprises
Nov. 21st, 2006 05:38 pmHere's a very nice thing: I discovered a local soap-maker at the Renaissance Faire up here this summer, and fell in love with a lot of their stuff.
So I went to the website and bought gifts for my agent and my editor for the holidays, lotion, soap, and a roll-on scent in Blue Moon for my editor, and in Orchard Blend for my agent. Shipping was cheap, delivery was quick -- and when I opened the box I found two body butter bars in the same two scents. Looked on the invoice, where the owner had hand-written: "Thanks, Amy! Please find two free body bars included also!"
How nice! I mean, I haven't checked, and given their prices I'm sure the bars are only $4 or $5, but still -- that's profit she gave away. I think I'm never buying handmade soap or lotion from anyone else.
For anyone interested, it's The Handmaiden's Garden.
