Peak's Spruce Christmas Tree just says Christmas.

NG has it. It is very strong. People either love it or hate it. Some people want everything in this fragrance, only.

Try Sage & Lemongrass from Peaks. It is wonderful.

Try sage and lemongrass from Peak. Everybody loves it. Very clean smelling.

Just received Mill Creek's Pumpkin Spice. You can really smell the pumpkin.

I use M&P in a salt scrub that is wonderful.

They have great lip balm holders.

I found one at Soapies-Supples.com that is beautiful. It is handmade and well made. Only $8. They have other sizes, too, like for lotion bars.

I use Natures Gardens. It is very nice. I do not like florals, especially gardenia, but this one is not bad.

If you are looking for larger baskets, try Good Will or Salvation Army stores. Also, if you have an Old Time Pottery in your area, their basket prices are usually pretty good.

Use clear m&p. I fill the bag half full. I then use a long twist tie or pipe cleaner and twist around the top of the bag. I twist the other end around my cabinet knob. When it starts to set, I spray with alcohol and insert fish. I then add more m&p. Kids love them. You can add a drop of blue color to the soap or leave it clear.

I'm in Tn and the shipping is worth the quality of Peak's oils. Just wish I were closer so I could order their other products.

I sell more tarts than anything. I sell them for 75 cents each. I wrap each one individually. I buy the small cello bags from Rustic Escentuals. Put one tart in each bag, fold the bag over and place a small round stick- on label with the fragrance typed on it on the bag. I have a huge basket that I keep filled with seasonal fragrances. Co workers are always asking me to bring it in. People love them once they try them. Especially the electric tart burners. I will sell the burners at cost, just to get people to try them.

Lavender Fields from Oregon Trails smells just like the plant. No soapy smell. It is very nice.

WSP has a very nice spray. Can be used as body blitz, room spray and linen spray. Retains fragrance very well.

Most are way too strong. Honeysuckle Kiss from Oregon Trails is very nice, though.

Any of the Kuma Satra fragrances from NG are great for b&b, especially Satin Sheets. Their Gardenia is also very nice, and I don't even like Gardenia. Theirs is the only one that I can stand to use. It actually smells kind of nice.

I don't even like Lavender, but Oregon Trails has one called Lavender Fields that is very nice. Sells well. It smells just like the plant.

Satin Sheets is my best seller in B&B. Haven't tried it in candles. Passionate Kisses also sells well. I renamed that one Heavenly, tho. Very strong in B&B, but sells well.

Blackberry Tea from Peaks is one of my favorites. Blackberry Sage is also very nice. From Peaks, also.

Kangaroo Blue has some nice ones.

Peaks is wonderful.

Try using the very small lip balm pots. Put your fortune inside and put the pot in the bomb.

I have a friend who buys between $300 and $400 every Christmas. She and her husband own a company. They buy employee and family gifts from me.
