Different Kitchen (chocolate chip cookies)-These were ok. I bet these were totally awesome when fresh,but, by the cookies got to me, they were hard and stale. Her site shows some really good looking baked goodies, and I'll be using my coupon for goodies soon! (http://www.differentkitchen.etsy.com/)
Bathgasm (Ginger Lime)-I have heard so many good things about this company. First off, this company's name makes me blush. (yeah, well, I'm a cheap date, lol!) I just read the name, and I turn pink. I got a heart scented in ginger lime, and althought not my favorite scent, it made for a great bath. A great Etsy company! (http://www.bathgasm.etsy.com/)
Jodi's Craft Emporium (2 tarts-oatmeal, milk and honey, and mulberry cream)-Out of the 2 tarts, I liked the Oatmeal, milk and honey the most. In fact, I still have it-it's incredibly long lasting! Mulberry cream was ok. I'm going to be checking Jodi out more closely in the future. (http://www.jodiescraftemporium.etsy.com/)
Rocky Corner SoapWorks (Mocha Love soap)-First off, it wasn't a sample, but a full sized bar-I have to appreciate that, and the design in the bar was pretty. I did take it for one test drive, and it lathered wonderfully. But, I couldn't get over the scent. When I first opened my sample box, all I could smell was mint, and I'm not a mint kind of gal, and this bar of soap was full of mint. The description of the soap reads (partly)- Everything a woman loves !!! All rolled into one soap !!! Chocolate, Coffee and Peppermint! I guess I'm not every woman. Don't get me wrong, a little mint I can handle, I love York Peppermint Patties, and a true mint I can handle in smallish doses in my bath and body. I just wish I could have smelled the coffee and/or the chocolate. (http://www.rockycornersoapworks.com/)
Pearlcreek Goat Milk Soap Co.(Incensed Soap)- I have never had a big chunk of patchouli scented soap before, and I was hesitant at first. I mean, I thought I didn't like patchouli! Guess what! I like it, I like it!! And I really like the huge sample Pearlcreek sent in-in fact, I had to cut it in half, it was so big! I'm not sure why it has charcoal in it, it makes a big mess in the sink, but hey, it smells great, and lathers even better! All these years gone by missing patchouli....(http://pearlcreekgoatmilksoap.com/)
Ugly Duckling Designs (3 heart shaped tarts, Sassy Sweettart scent)-I'm not sure of the scent, can anyone fill me in? To me they smelled like fruit loop cereal. And boy, they sure pack a punch! One little tart filled my huge bedroom for hours and hours! Whoa, baby, I gotta get me more of these! (http://www.theuglyducklingdesigns.com/)
A Penny for Your Thoughts-Cute paper products. Not sure when/if I would ever use things like these, but sure as shootin', I will eventually, and it's nice to know that there is someone out there that has really cute items. (http://apenny4u.shophandmade.com/)
Hippie's Creations (Winter fresh soap)-Nice sized sample, creamy white. Minty, but not overpowering. Left my hands feeling nice. I did notice though that this soap was a bit soft, like it needed to finish curing. (www.hippiescreations.etsy.com)
Pastry Girls-2 words-yum-me!! (http://www.pastrygirls.etsy.com/)
Sweet and Savorys- I think I got the Moist Chocolate Fudge Chocolate Chip Cookies. I'm going by process of elimination, as this was a package not labeled. The flavor was good. Unfortunately, as usually happens with sample boxes and baked goods, they were stale and hard. (http://www.sweetandsavorys.etsy.com/)
Made With Love (Toffee)-I received a nice sample of toffee. It had a hint of mint to it, but I'm not sure that was intended. I must have been one of the few people on earth who has never tasted toffee before, so I have no basis of comparison. It was really good! I'm really psyched over her site too, because of her chocolate key. (http://www.sever96.etsy.com/)
Sweet and Kind of-I'm always looking for blank cards to stash away, and this one is a definite keeper. It's so cute! It says, simply, "Love grows". After being married for such a period of time (I'm in my 40's, so I'll just let you guess) little cards can be a nice way to show your beloved your feelings any time of year.
