My creative space smells very pretty this week .
I very rarely get to any markets but when I do
I try and support local makers and so I buy
handmade soap .
I put the soap away and throughout the year
I crochet some facewashers and
then package them together for
just in case gifts .
Just in case I forget a birthday or
need an extra teacher gift .
This time of year these just in case
gifts are very handy !
Wrapped simply in brown paper
with a paper doily and some coloured string
they do make a pretty gift , just in case !
Lots more creative spaces here .
That is a great idea. I do other things for just in case gifts, I might add that to the list.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea Clare .... definitely gonna have to pinch that one ;o)!!

This is great! And I just love how you use the paper doily. So very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHow bizarre! that is exactly what our teachers get every year and would you believe ours are packaged the same way! Not surprising though as they are such a fab prezzie and everyone always loves them. Happy hooking.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. There is something lovely about using handmade soaps.
ReplyDeleteso much pretty in this creative space. i can almost smell the soap!
ReplyDeleteTheres something about using a Crochet cloth ....It seems specila!
ReplyDeleteI need to learn to crochet!
Love the wrapping it really makes them
That's a great idea - I never seem to be able to do gifts in advance and be that organised.
ReplyDeleteLove handmade soap. Mmmm.
A really beaut idea, Clare.:-)
ReplyDeleteI also keep some nice candles, and a few sewing notions for emergency gifts.
My DH told a friend about some handmade oaps, I think they are made with goats milk and are very good for people with chronic skin problems like psoriasis.
A lovely idea - a New Year's resolution for me! how sensible to always have a thankyou gift in the cupboard ready and waiting for somebody.xxx
ReplyDeleteI have always loved this idea it is definitely a gift everyone would appreciate and it's so pretty too...
ReplyDeleteIf they smell as good as they look I'm guessing they're amazing!xx
ReplyDeleteThese look so darling Clare.
ReplyDeletei do "just in case " gifts as well...but lots of different things.
I might have to try this for next year though.Thanks for the tip.
These are just lovely - great idea! Glad I found my way here. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, they look lovely! What a great idea. :)
ReplyDeleteHi They look great- what yarn do you use?
ReplyDeleteSue x
Fab idea and i bet the place you store them in smells oh so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI make soap often as gifts but I just adore your wrapping...I never would have thought of the doily!
ReplyDeletejust looking at the soap I can smell it. Charmaine
ReplyDeleteThis week's creative space is really awesome. The woolly wrappers are very finely weaved and need utter concentration. Thanks for this post.
