Handmade Soap Can Be Great For Men Too

There are tons of different kinds of soaps out there for women, but for men, the options are a bit more limited. Red Leaf Bath and Body has a line of “soap and shave” soaps that are designed specifically with men in mind. The soaps come in a number of different manly scents: leather, firewood, lettuce, black tea and clover. You can buy the handmade soaps on their own, or as part of a gift set. We love the idea of handmade soaps for men. What other handmade items do you like making or buying the men in your life?

Woodworkers Run an Etsy Business From Their Farm

Robin and Kathy Tucker are proof that you can have a successful business no matter where you live. The couple make beautiful wood mosaics that they sell through their Etsy store.  Woods come fro South Africa and Sri Lanka and  are handcrafted from the couple’s farm where they try to live as off the grid as they can (they even hand pump their own water!) Etsy made this video with them a while back to give us a glimpse at their process. Check out the vid for a look at their craft, and then visit their store to see some of their current creations!
