This Christmas soap is scented with hot cocoa and peppermint. It is the perfect Christmas drink, and you need not be concerned about overindulgence as this is Mr. Woodhouse approved.

"He had, therefore, earnestly tried to dissuade them from having any wedding cake at all, and when that proved vain, as earnestly tried to prevent any body’s eating it. He had been at the pains of consulting Mr. Perry, the apothecary, on the subject." ~Mr. Woodhouse, of Emma, by Jane Austen.

Mr. Woodhouse would like us to believe he eats nothing but “thin gruel.” But what if he had a secret delight? A taste for hot chocolate that began as a sip at Christmas and turned into a daily indulgence? For though he could not abide the richness of cake, there is no mention of other desserts in Emma. Perhaps Ms. Austen did not want us to know that, in fact, Mr. Woodhouse had a weakness: hot cocoa with peppermint. So easily hidden in his cup, there was no need for anyone to know what he was drinking.

He is certain there is no peril to be had with such an innocent indulgence. Did he have it in the morning, whilst still abed? Or did he drink it near the fire, in his favorite chair? I suppose we will never know.

This chocolatey soap smells so yummy that you might need a cup of hot cocoa right after your bath!

Luxurious clay gives a silky feel to this festively scented soap and the elegant gold paper lines and swirl atop are the perfect indulgent touch for a special time of year. Scented with fig, apple, and forest wood.

“On one side was a table occupied by some chattering girls, cutting up silk and gold paper; and on the other were tressels and trays, bending under the weight of brawn and cold pies, where riotous boys were holding high revel; the whole completed by a roaring Christmas fire.”~ Persuasion, by Jane Austen.

This cozy passage of Christmas at Uppercross is so delightful we wish ourselves a seat at their table.

A Turn About the Room lip balm is a sweet peppermint flavor and so very refreshing.  Should you miss your invitation to take a turn about the room with Caroline Bingley, you may find just as much refreshment, if not more, in this delicious lip balm!

It is lightly scented.

“Miss Eliza Bennet, let me persuade you to follow my example, and take a turn about the room. I assure you it is very refreshing after sitting so long in one attitude.” ~Caroline Bingley of Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen.

Wooden gift boxes add another layer of elegance for your Jane Austen themed gift. This slide top wood box is our largest box.

This high quality wooden box is manufactured locally in Wisconsin.

Mr. Woodhouse goes for a walk one wintery morning and leaves Emma with Mr. Knightley. An excellent plan, to breathe in that crisp air, but little does he know what quarreling they will get up to during his absence!

This eucalyptus and peppermint scented bar is inspired by his winter walk--refreshing, brisk, and herbal! Scented with pure essential oils.

“Emma will be happy to entertain you. And therefore I think I will beg your excuse and take my three turns—my winter walk.” ~Mr. Woodhouse of Emma, by Jane Austen.

Your invitation to the Netherfield Ball has arrived. Enjoy your evening, but keep on the lookout for Mr. Collins!

This bar soap is dressed up with all the colors of the ballgowns you might see on the dance floor, and the festive scent of nutmeg and frankincense is perfect for the season.

“It is your turn to say something now, Mr. Darcy. I talked about the dance, and you ought to make some sort of remark on the size of the room, or the number of couples.” ~Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice.

"We have not met since the 26th of November, when we were all dancing together at Netherfield." ~ Mr. Bingley.
