Sweet Self-Care – Natural Gifts for the One Who Needs to Slow Down

Because everyone deserves a little calm this holiday season!

The holidays can be a whirlwind — the travel, the to-do lists, the endless “just one more errand to go.” In the midst of the chaos, it’s easy to forget the most important person to care for: yourself!

This season, skip the big-box bath sets and give the gift of real relaxation. At Edgewood Apiaries, our self-care essentials are made by hand, straight from Virginia hives. They’re simple, natural, and designed to soothe — body, mind, and spirit.

1. Lavender Honey Lemonade Soap Bar

Use it in hot drinks, on toast, or even as a face mask - it’s a great multi–tasker!
