Plain Jane Giveaway!
“A few years ago we started a tradition on our family, that we would only give homemade gifts for Christmas. Let me rephrase that a little bit – I give homemade gifts to the mommies and girls, daughters and grandchildren. My husband gives Walmart cards to the daddy’s and older boys 🙂 I usually knit them something, but last year I wanted to do something different. I remembered that I used to make soap and how much we loved it. We were already making our own laundry soap and loving it, so I devised a gift basket with some handmade soap, chapstick, candles, and a few other things, and gave those to the ladies in our family and they were a big hit. After they used them up, they wanted more! So, with one thing leading to another, you know how that goes, I ended up making lots more and opening an Etsy shop. It’s nice to bring in a little bit of extra income and it’s something my husband can help me with, which leaves me lots of time to sew, which is my first love in the crafty world. We’ll usually set aside a day and make several batch’s of soap and candles, body butter and sugar scrub. When I make Chapstick and Owie Stuff, I normally make about 50 at a time, so that lasts a good while.”
Karen has graciously offered to send one of you a gift basket containing all of the same lovely items she sent to me! To enter the giveaway, tell me which you would be most interested to try!
For extra entries, share on facebook, twitter, follow the blog, etc. Leave a comment letting me know what you do!
This giveaway will end Saturday, June 18th at midnight and a winner will be announced on Monday.
*Please note, I was not paid to write this review. I did receive products to try, but these thoughts are all my own.*
oooh the sugar scrub with green tea sounds wonderful! 🙂
Oh my! I would love to try ALL of the items LOL. They all sound so lovely. The laundry soap peaks my interest as well as the lip bqlm and the body scrub!
I would love to try any of those things! The sugar scrub sounds just lovely, though!

I would love to try the laundry soap. I have a kid with sensitive skin too, and nothing seems to work. I've tried making my own with no success. The soaps sound great as well!
I'd love to try the laundry soap! I made my own for over a year and saved a LOT of money doing it, but found that my clothes never smelled "fresh" and seemed to wear thin and fade much faster, so I switched back to store bought. I'd much prefer something natural and homemade!!
I follow you on Facebook!
What a great giveaway!! All the items sound good, especially the laundry detergent. We all have severe allergies and use seventh generation products but they can be pricey. Also I love sugar scrubs so that would be nice to try as well!

I LOVE soy candles, so that sounds great to me, but I admit that with 6 kids, the "Owie Stuff" piques my attention. Always on the lookout for a more natural laundry soap that actually works, too.

It would be very hard to pick one item. I personally would use the body butter to help my dry, itchy, psoraisis skin.
What a wonderful giveaway! I would love to try out the laundry soap. We are always looking for ways to be gentler on my son's eczema skin.
