Giving Thanks with Self-Care: Gratitude and Gifting Ideas

Introduction
The season of gratitude is here. While we gather with loved ones and give thanks, let’s not forget the quiet power of self-care and the joy of simple gifts. Whether you're showing appreciation to a teacher, coworker, or hostess—or simply treating yourself—handmade soap is a gentle reminder to slow down and savor the moment.
