Are you planning to give any DIY gifts this year? If so, try this Cranberry Vanilla Shea Butter Soap, an easy homemade soap recipe perfect for gift giving!
It has a bit of a holiday feel with the inclusion of dried cranberries. I added some vanilla soap fragrance to give it a soft, pretty scent. The dried cranberries will make the soap last longer than if you used fresh.

All of the soap recipes sound very intriguing. I plan to make several different ones. What is the shelf life of all of your soaps?
