Nevada County Gift Shopping – Hand Made Soap
Sunday, October 19th, 2008IF you frequent the various markets in Grass Valley and Nevada City you’ll have come across Frontier Angel Soaps, that is if you can get through the crowds of people at their stall to be able to smell their excellent range of soaps! They make the soaps by hand locally in Grass Valley, and as I walk the dog at night I always look forward to the smell of the batch of soap being made, especially pungent on clear, cold, still nights.
Anyways, looking for another local gift idea? Well we have been sending these soaps around the country to all and sundry and after the initial response of “thank you for the soap you sent from Grass Valley for my birthdaty / Christmas / whatever (delete as applicable)”, we usually get a follow up response a few months later which normally starts like this “remember that Grass Valley soap you sent me, can i get some more?”.
So we can heartily recommend giving this soap as a present. It’s not your run of the mill soap. It’s hand made, and it’s very nicely packaged. Here in Grass Valley you can buy it at the Briarpatch, or at Amy Taylors (on Mill St). And if you want any further details about the soap or where you can buy it, see the Frontier Angel website. One word of warning, if you are sending these soaps out of the area, buy them early and ship them early so you can spend less on shipping.
