SOME BUNNY WILL THANK YOU

A-tisket, a-tasket, here's an alternate Easter basket. A raspberry-scented pink bunny soap guards two Easter egg-sized soaps nestled in a cheerful, 4-1/2-inch tall metal pail that can double later as a vase. All glycerin soaps are handcrafted and pails are available with pink, yellow, or green backgrounds. A perfect hostess gift.
