What is better when you can't decide what to pick and hate the idea of dropping dough when you aren't sure if you're going to like a scent or not? Soap samplers are the perfect solution! These are some very beautiful ones that I found today. (this was no easy feat!) I will start offering this as well. Everyone should. It is brilliant.

I have been admiring haus of gloi from afar for some time. Simply gorgeous soaps. They make me want to draw a bath in a medieval castle in a huge old fashioned tub with several candles burning. Love them!
Samplers are a brilliant way to date before getting married to a soap! =)
I'm using one of Misty's (Burnt Mill) terrific soaps right now. Love the "fries".
I've been thinking of offering samples like that, too. I already include free samples with orders, but I bet folks would like to be able to order a bunch at once.
And they look so nice all piled up.
those scrunchy crinkly french fry soap samples are DARLING! great pics, too. :)
Thanks for including my Goat's milk sampler! They sell very well online and off. A must have for any soaper.

thanks for featuring my soap sampler fries :P
it is always interesting to see how everyone presents samples
they are such a great way for people to try out soaps and scents from soap makers.
thanks again

I love soap samplers and am currently using one from tamiamitrails. For soapmakers thinking of putting one together, I'd recommend sample bar sizes of 1-2 ounces. Samples much smaller than that can be hard to use and don't really give me a good idea of the soap. I often find myself interested in scents that I wouldn't have thought I'd enjoy.
Mariad I went back and forth on what size to make mine. If I cut some smaller then you get to smell and try even more. I tend to do a variety of them some smaller and some bigger.
maybe I will try to lean more on the bigger side now :)
That's just my personal preference for bar size, I'm sure there are just as many people who like to try as many scents as possible, even if the bar size is smaller. A mix sounds like a good compromise.
I totally join you for coffee, I looove geeking out about soap ... And thank you for the super sweet words!
Pick my brains anytime! ;)
Wow what a timely post for me. I had just decided to do this. Love the unique way soapers come up with on packaging. The tower and crinkle cut is awesome.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the crinkle fries sampler. What a unique idea! I agree, the 1-2 oz sample sizes are ideal. While the smaller pieces can work well as sniffies, it sometimes doesn't allow for the true experience of the lather.
