Make a Difference By Shopping Small

Handmade artisan Christmas soaps make the perfect stocking stuffers for the holidays. When I used to sell handcrafted artisan soaps on my farmers market in the way way back, everyone would scoop up bars and bars of soaps for their stocking stuffers. It almost made standing for hours in the bitter cold worth it. And while I did enjoy my time as a seller – and the people most especially! – I don’t think I will ever go back to the chaos and challenges that come with selling handmade products throughout the holiday season. (Or summer even. I will never forgot those 100°F temps and having to keep cool by soaking my feet in a giant bucket of ice water.)

Having been a soap seller I now find it more important than ever to support other fellow artisans, whether they make handmade soaps or something else. Shopping small really does make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who craft their own products by hand. By supporting independent artists, you are not only directing supporting them and their families, but your community as well. When you shop from a small business 67% of the money you spend stays local. And that can have a big impact for everyone you care about.

Handcrafted Christmas Soaps for Holiday Stocking Stuffers

While I encourage all of you to get out and support your local artisans at seasonal holiday craft fairs and farmers markets this year, you can also avoid some of that insane holiday bustle AND still make a difference by buying from handmade soap artisans online. Following is a curated collection of my favorite Christmas soaps this from Etsy soap artisans. (You can also browse more handcrafted artisan soaps.
