Works in progress!

Things are jumpin' here at Baileys Basics! We're looking forward to offering gift boxes soon, including boxes geared toward expectant parents or new babies, and housewarming gifts. There will be a skin care gift box, too. In the process of getting these boxes up and ready, we've been pricing and sourcing supplies, including filler-paper for the actual boxes. After much deliberation, we decided to do our standard "find a better way to do it ourselves" sort of thing.... Enter the shredder and kraft paper!


Now, we're in the shred business. It's easier, faster, and keeps our costs down. In addition, shredding all that paper is therapeutic! We're pretty excited about the gift boxes, and hope all our customers will consider them when chosing a gift for friends or family! They look pretty good, if we do say so ourselves. Here's a glimpse of a box planned for a raffle.....

Another great work-in-progress was tested out this weekend at a family weekend. It's bug repellant! Formulated with essential oils that bugs hate, this salve-based bug repellant worked great. As of the end of the weekend Andrea only had one bite, and it was in a place she forgot to cover in salve! Namely, her foot. Brian never gets bitten, so he wasn't as interested. The repellant smells pretty good and has a great consistency. It will be available for purchase soon, but here's a photo of it, fresh from the stove......

Please check back soon for new products for sale, and for more work in progress!
