Today, more people are looking for ideas that have meaning behind their gifts by selecting symbolic items for friends and family. When you choose soap belonging to our Magic Senses Butterfly Collection, you’re embracing a universal icon representing change, transformation, resurrection, celebration, youth, joy, and love.

The Gift of Butterflies

Give the gift of butterflies for birthdays, Valentine’s Day, and for those ‘just because’ moments. Tuck a Cheerful Butterfly inside an adult Easter basket to deliver a luxuriating treat. Think outside the box – the butterfly shape can also encourage kids apprehensive about the bathtub to feel more at ease.

Since the butterfly is a symbol of transformation, our Cheerful Butterfly Collection makes a delightful gesture to a loved one in the midst of a significant change in their life. For example, leaving the safety of its cocoon, the butterfly and a recent graduate are both moving on to the next important phase of their lives. The design of the Butterfly Collection also falls in line with the colors representative of a baby shower.

When ordering any of our butterfly soaps, please allow 1-2 days for handcrafting sealed with love, vegetable glycerin, coloring, and fragrance oils. Since handmade products slightly vary in color and design, our glycerin soap makes the perfect one-of-a-kind gift.

Our Cheerful Butterfly Soap

When butterflies take to flight, they appear to be dancing in the air – they are a perfect reminder to loosen up and enjoy life. The colors of our Pink Cheerful Butterfly Soap also create memories of the beauty of spring and joys of warm-weather days. A clear base with pink and light purple swirls make up the bulk of the ‘wings’ with ‘antennas’ rounding off the rest of the butterfly. Other Cheerful Butterfly soaps to enjoy include our Confetti and Blue.

No need to venture into the woods to get a whiff of fresh berries. At Magic Senses, we offer a satisfying substitute that adds the warmth of raspberry kisses to your bathing experience. Our Raspberry glycerin soap is a handmade, handcut natural cleanser presented in a clear red-pink base. Inside, you will find an explosion of inviting shapes and colors. It’s certainly one of our more playful selections in our line of vegetable glycerin soaps.

Ideas for Raspberry Glycerin Soap

The scent of raspberry is warming, romantic, and dreamy. The fragrance coupled with the cheerful color scheme is a popular choice amongst the ladies, and makes the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day and birthdays. When looking for a baby shower gift filled with warmth, you won’t be disappointing in choosing our Raspberry soap.

Another creative way to use our Raspberry glycerin soap is to send a teenage girl off to college with a basketful. The gentle ingredients in the soap will help balance her transitioning skin – protecting it from the harsh chemicals found in the majority of commercial soaps.

Benefits of Raspberry Glycerin Soap

We only use natural ingredients in the creation of our irritant-free soap: vegetable glycerin, water, as well as natural colors and fragrances. The soap works wonders for sensitive skin and offers satisfying moisturizing qualities. The Raspberry glycerin soap also makes an effective addition to a daily cleansing regimen aimed at combating the symptoms of common skin conditions, such as excessive dryness, eczema and psoriasis.

Fruity Glycerin Soap Collection

If you’re in the mood for berry picking with Magic Senses Raspberry soap, why not try an entire fruit basket of fragrances? Our handmade Raspberry glycerin soap is part of the Fruity Glycerin Soap Collection, which also includes the citrus zing of Grapefruit and the delightful design of our Green Apple soap.

• Oak Moss – Some people believe that you can use oak moss to attract money.

You can pamper yourself or share with family and friends as a gift. Because of its green color, Two to Tango makes an enchanting gesture for the holidays.
