Yes — here’s how Ohio Valley Soap’s holiday kits and bases actually compare on price, size, and who they’re for, based on what’s in our Parkersburg shop right now.
If you want the short version: pick a choose-your-own kit so the scents are right, then add stocking singles until you clear $35 for free U.S. shipping. Local? Pickup at Avery & 32nd is usually ready in about 2 hours.
Holiday kits compared

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stocking Stuffer 3-Pack | $9.50 | 3 bars | Teachers, coworkers, stockings | Yes — pick 3 |
| Cozy Ritual Duo | $12.95 | Soap + body butter | Small “treat yourself” gifts | Yes — pick soap |
| Unscented Sensitive 4-Pack | $18.00 | 4 bars | Fragrance-free gifts | Yes — unscented only |

Shop insight: the 6-bar sampler sits $3 under free shipping — one stocking single usually clears $35. The unscented 7-pack already qualifies for free U.S. shipping on its own.
Goat milk vs glycerin vs oatmeal
| Base | What you’ll notice | When we hand it to you |
|---|---|---|
| Goat milk | Creamier, more opaque | Everyday wash gifts; “richer bar” requests |
| Glycerin | Clearer / brighter color | Visual gifts, loofah bars, fun holiday shapes |
| Oatmeal | Soft speckled look | Shoppers who ask for a gentler-feeling bar |
| Bamboo charcoal | Darker bar | When they want a bold look in a mixed kit |
We’re not doctors — these are handmade soap preferences, not medical claims.
