Ok so I got suckered into doing a tiny giftables fair this coming weekend. I have a ton of bears I've made and I have 2 more left to do. I have them all wrapped nicely in cellophane and I'm going to leave one out as a display.

Now, which scent should I pick? I'm marketing them as mostly baby room fresheners so have 85% of them as baby room scents (children's room, vanilla lav., welcome home, doodle bug, ones like that). The ones I have that aren't typical kid scents are 7up pound cake, creme brûlée, flannel sheets. I have a ton of fragrances.

I was thinking perhaps Amish harvest since it's been a HUGE hit (I have a ton of testers testing melts and every single person has been head over heels for it!!!) but then wonder if I should stick to my theme of childhood scents OR if I should stray entirely and go with something seasonal? (Candy cane with vanilla, or something childish but seasonal, kwim?)

I have banana, peanutbutter cookies, milk and cookies, hot chocolate, a ton of seasonal ones...Too many to list.

So, what would you do? I'm so torn and I'd like to get them done up tomorrow while DH is off work.

What about winter slopes?

ETA Ror Fresh Winter SLopes

LOL to Yeti Breath!

I love something with skiing. That's a great train of thought!

Because you guys are awesome!

It's Icy Peppermint > Gingerbread > Sugared Pine.

It smells really good to me. Very fresh. It seems very outdoorsy to me. Very winter.

I don't think any one scent sticks out very much, it's very nicely blended. The peppermint just tickles the back of your tongue when you sniff it, to give you that blast of mint. Why is there not a smell feature via the internet yet???!!

I made them awhile ago when the kiddies and I were stuffed up. Mine were beyond crumbley and not so great! Putting EOs directly in the shower was way better. I probably did something wrong.

After sitting, I can kind of smell the pine meets berries. Not my fave but we will see what the testers think!

As a customer, I always look for a baby-toddler friendly version (oatmeal and honey, lavender chamomile, those types.). I would definitely offer those. The kids smell so good, lol!

Ugh, mine isn't throwing for long! I did a 4786/4627 blend 1/4 blend, it smelled great but only lasted 3-4 hours. Maybe I'll try it blended with 464.

I think I'm going to go with decadent peppermint cocoa.

The peppermint really stands out so I think it should be in the title so people aren't caught off guard. I don't want them to think its going to be really chocolatey, kwim?

Oh, maybe winter is better than Christmas. I'll see how it looks on a label.

I did it in a parasoy blend (1/3rd soy). My nose might be off too, I've done a lot of scents lately.

Do you like it? I poured some last night and it just smells like wine to me! :lipsrseal. Not really what I was expecting. Hopefully it'll be better once it cures. I just don't smell the lovely berries that I was anticipating. The reviews were so good, I bought a bigger bottle of it too!

Eta: from peak.

Omg, I laughed so hard @ the dog farts!! It's funny because I could barely smell the tarts with my nose on hem, but old mall the baby's tush across the room!!

I'm just worried about long term damage! I love smelling things! Lol!

You ladies are so awesome!! I can't wait until I get my brain back (aka: stop breastfeeding and sleep through the night, LOL!!)

I think I love Christmas cocoa for now, and the decadent for later!

If you search display or even look below this thread for 'similar threads', you should see some examples!! Tiers with crates and corrugated paper to stand clamshells upright are pretty cool and inexpensive!

Ooh, good one! That would totally work!

Dark chocolate, peppermint swizzle stick, and a smidge of toasted marshmellow.

I'm at a loss other than boring peppermint patty names! :rolleyes2

Omg, that's awful! :S. still managed to smell the baby's stinky bum though! Lol!

I hate that I can't smell my melts in the morning! :undecided. How long does your candle nose usually last you?m

Would it help at all if you wore a mask or is it a lost cause?

Title says it all! Those thing seat up fast!!! And, ummmm...things are SO much easier and relaxed with a presto pot compared to a double broiler!

Oh man, that would be nice! I have 2 small kiddies (4 and 10 months) so my 'office' is the computer room, kid craft room, mamas craft room (I knit a lot and sew a tad), my treadmill room and my wax room, lol!! Aaaaand, it's not really that big!

Yep! Seems they are great after sitting for a bit. The scent throw is unbeatable with 4627 in there. I had some in baggies for samples and I could smell them while walking outside!

I'm going to need a room just to store them, lol! We haven't been able to eat at our table in a week!

I've been finding some testers via a local moms swap group on Facebook. I mean, I can only test my scents so far, right?! I've had amazing feedback, I couldn't be happier with what I am hearing!

I posted last night again for some new testers (posting they are required to have their own melter) and one girl said "I want to try these melts I've been hearing about!".

Another girl said she hates using P-lite because they are so expensive and others have told me they can never get more than 1 burn (I have the same results with the S brand, personally) and she said "FINALLY!!" to having something local and I have a bunch of people asking me about pricing and selling!

I'm so excited. I knew it would be a good thing here!

So, my soft wax actually is sort of neat! I was really worried because they wouldn't crack to pop out. Well turns out the whole tray of 6 will slide up and out with a push and you can break off a square or two and plop it back in!! I wonder if people would mind? I mean, it's no extra work and it's not messy at all.

The throw is just amazing and I really want to keep using my blend!
