Seasonally scented soaps are such a treat! (especially when they are handmade goat milk soaps straight from the farm if you ask me... ?)
While I have 12 scents of my goat milk soaps that I make year round and don't change, I do make FOUR limited edition seasonally-inspired scented soaps four times a year. They are exclusive to my seasonal collection box and not available outside of it. I love these boxes. They are very personal to me.
I should also mention that the scents are a surprise that I do not disclose. You'll find out the moment you open your box. Why? Because I want it to be a fun adventure that possibly includes you exploring a scent or two that you may not have even thought about.
You can ask current subscribers... I love throwing in some non-traditional scents for the season that just seem to "fit" in addition to familiar favorites.
This is a subscription box and I only make a set number of them for each season. My priority is fulfilling all of the subscriptions. Occasionally I have a few (in "few" I mean less than ten) extra boxes that I have a waitlist for. There is no guarantee for anyone on the waitlist. The only way you are guaranteed the collection is through the subscription.
Currently the subscription is $25 each box and it contains all four full size goat milk soaps that I make from scratch with milk from my goats. They are hand wrapped and arrive to you in a cute gift box made of recyled kraft cardboard.
Because I make these in limited quantities, my open subscription slots are often limited. If you want to check to see if any are open, email me anytime.
You can also add one to your cart in an order and I will respond with the status.
FAQ
1. When I add the Seasonal Collection Box to my cart on your website, it shows that it costs $0.00. Why is that?
This is for two reasons... one is because there needs to be a slot available to get on the subscription list and I don't want to make you feel you are automatically added under false pretenses. The second reason is that my invoices for subscriptions are sent through Square, not my website, so I set it up manually for you once I have a slot open. I will contact you personally either way to let you know if I have an open slot or if you are on the waitlist.
2. Will you tell me what the scents are before I sign up?
It is a surprise each time! And no, I do not disclose what they are!
3. When do they come out and when do I get charged?
I make one for each season. Release date is approximate and also dependant on if it falls on a weekend or holiday that prohibits from shipping. Here is the breakdown:
SPRING: Invoice Feb 1 / Release date approx. Feb 15
SUMMER: Invoice May 1 / Release date approx. May 15
FALL: Invoice Aug 1 / Release date approx. Aug 15
WINTER: Invoice Nov 1 / Release date approx. Nov 15
3. Can they be shipped?
Yes! You will be able to choose between having your boxes shipped or picked up locally. You can also add any of the other products I make to ship with a box with no extra shipping charge at any time. Ya just gatta let me know before I ship it since I can't actually run down the mail delivery person and get your package back once they have it.
4. I'd like to know what the scents are first, how do I get this information?
Not from me. Might I suggest:
-
- Finding a lamp that has a genie living in it and use one of your wishes
- Ask ChatGPT (for funsies... it won't know but I would love to know what it tells you)
- Ponder it while you're buying other goodies from me
- Talk to my cat Jacob (see below)
5. Why don't you offer seasonal goat milk soaps outside of these boxes?
It is complicated and it was not an easy decision for me to make. In short, I am a one-girl show with no employees so I make everything (literally... it starts with me taking care of my goats everyday) from start to finish is handmade by me. I have learned over the years that the only way for me to survive as a farm based full-time small business is to be as efficent as possible. Not only does this mean being very aware of my supply costs and time, but also making sure that my seasonal offerings are sought after and sold out before the next season (ie so that I don't have summer leftovers in the fall). All of this allows me to make these limited edition scents in my staple goat milk soap recipe without increasing their price for you.
There is a lot to it and I hope in the near future to explain this in more detail as a blog post. (Farm Blog is coming back!)
6. Are these seasonal soaps the same soap as your regular goat milk soaps?
Yep! My same well-loved goat milk soap recipe that I developed years ago, and the same that you will find as my staple 12 goat milk soaps that I make all year, every year. And of course the milk comes from my goats here on the farm.
7. What scents do you have in mind for the upcoming season?
Believe me, my brain is a very chaotic place. Chances are that even I don't know yet. And even if I did, I'm not telling.
8. Do you take suggestions for seasonal scents?
Oh yes please! I ask for input each season for the next season in my insiders email newsletter and on social media. (Facebook Page | Facebook Group | Instagram)
9. Can I gift a subscription to someone?
Absolutely! I set it up the same way and have the box sent to your special someone each time. I can include a personal note card upon request and no... I won't include a copy of the invoice. That's just tacky, ya know?
9. Ok so low key what can I do in order for you to tell me what the scents will be in the next box?
I'm quite tight-lipped about this. However, my sweet cat Jacob talks A LOT and would probably tell you if he ever learns to speak English. I love him dearly, but we all have to agree that cats by nature are deceitful jerks so I would not at all put it past him.
10. How do I get on the waitlist for any extra box that you may have for a season without doing the subscription?
Simple! You can do any of the following:
-
- Toss a Seasonal Collection Box in your cart and check out with a note that says you want to be on the wait list for an extra box for the season
- Subscribe to my email list and respond when I send out the call for waitlist interest
- Contact me directly via email or on social media. You can also text me (two-five-two--three-four-nine--zero-zero-zero-four)
11. So, seriously. Can I find out what scents are in the box?
So, seriously. If you aren't up for seasonally-inspired surprises, this box isn't for you. Just know that I put a lot of thought, love, and work into these boxes. If there is one in there that you don't vibe with, it makes for a good gift to have on hand for someone else.
12. How do I unscribe from getting future boxes?
All you have to do is email me and let me know. I do ask that you please email me BEFORE you get your invoice because... by then... I've already made your soap. See question #3 for invoice dates that apply to each individual season.
If you have any other questions, let me know!
