I was so inspired at the market by a young man who was enthusiastic about my soaps but didn't have much to spend. He later came back with his bother and made two more visits to my table with both his brother and sister, smelling every product and evaluating which their mom would like best and what the scents reminded them of her. She retired and moved to the South Carolina with their dad..., she was a nurse and loved to garden (so the lavender would be good because she loved growing flowers, but then again the soap with the fall leaves will remind her of fall in new England; oh, hey, smell this one... on and on it went)... They spent so much time delighting about how pleased she would be with their gift, and they ended up putting together a small basket of 3 soaps, one chosen by each. I'd love to meet this woman who I don't know, but I do know this... she raised her children with love and in turn is very well loved and appreciated. And even if they're not her perfectly favorite products, she's really going to enjoy her soaps just knowing that her kids were thinking of her and wanted to make her happy. Wow, some customers really make a lasting impression.
