Each box contains at least 12 ounces of soap. We gather together a box of soap ends, flower shapes, mini bars...and pack it to nearly overflowing with soapy goodness. Maybe (like me!) you'd rather have a small slice of soap for just a little while beside the sink, instead of using a whole bar. Perhaps you don't want to bring a whole bar camping, to the gym, or on a trip? This is a great solution! No two samples are duplicated, so you get a very wide variety of our soap line. Add a handmade, cotton soap pouch, washcloth or plant fiber bag to make it a great gift!
