$70.00Our community asked for this gift set this year, so we made it! In this Rest and Recharge gift set, your loved one will receive one handmade (with Whidbey grown-and-gathered plants) soap, lip balm, shampoo bar, dish soap bar, lotion bar, a handmade soap rest, a one-of-a-kind hand-painted mandala stone, and a gift tag with your message handwritten on it.

- One-of-a-kind, hand-painted Mandala stone. Hand-painted by our friend Renee at Freeland Art Shack here on Whidbey. Whether used as a meditation stone, a worry stone, or as a piece of art, it's a restful and relaxing gift. Mandala stones in this gift set will vary in color from shades of green to shades of blue.
- Rest soap. This soap contains our own lavender, catmint, and chamomile, plus a bit of purple clay softness and activated charcoal and a bit of lavender and chamomile essential oils to round out the scent. It smells AMAZING! A great nighttime face washing or shower-before-bedtime soap.
- Whidbey Forest Kiss lip balm. Perfect for wintertime dry lips, this balm contains local, ethically foraged windfall Douglas fir, cottonwood buds, and plantain leaves and our own lemon balm.
- Whidbey Lavender Rosemary Mint shampoo bar. Our most popular shampoo bar last year!
- Lavender & Lemons dish soap bar. We made these to bring a bit of sunshine to daily chores and dark gray winter days.
- Whidbey Beach Feet Relief lotion bar. A lotion bar for tired feet, ankles, and calves--whether that's from beach walking, hiking, gardening, skiing, aging, or working all day long!
- Western red cedar soap rest. Created by our friend Teresa of Mountain Tree Farm in Arlington, WA with windfall western red cedar.

Whidbey folks, you can choose the Pick Up option to avoid shipping costs at check out, and you can pick up from our herbal studio here. If you're shipping for Christmas, we ship U.S.P.S. Priority, and we recommend ordering by December 12, 2022 ideally, and at the very latest December 16th, 2022. If there's another winter holiday you're aiming for (hurray for Diwali, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Boxing Day, and also just because gifts!), please try to allow 10 calendar days for shipping in the continental US. It likely won't take that long, but we don't want to disappoint you if the post office decides to take its sweet time!

Product details...
Storage and life of the products: To extend the life of our soap bars, shampoo bars, and dish soap bars, store them where they can dry quickly after use and where they don't get regular spray from the faucet. Store the lip balm and lotion bar in cool locations away from direct sunlight. Best to use the lip balm and lotion bar within 18 months of purchase.
Size of soap, shampoo, and dish soap bars: Four-ounce bars. These are made by hand in small batches and hand cut by cool women, not machines. This means most bars are 4 ounces and that the bars can range from 3.9 ounces to 4.4 ounces, most are 4 or more. We keep anything smaller than that for ourselves and our families, to give as gifts to neighbors in need, and to cut up and give as free surprises and samples to people who buy our products. We're not machines, people, nor do we want to be. :-) Size of lotion bar: At least 2 ounces. Size of lip balm: One ounce.
