My name is Laura Harkins, and I started making soaps about three years ago as a hobby. I decided to call my soaps ‘ Laura’s Soaps’.

I enjoy using many different fragrance oils in the soap recipes. I have had a stand at Buddy Walk and at the Illuminate Night markets run by Recreate and have sent my soaps all over New Zealand.

My soaps make great affordable gifts for mothers, aunties, sisters, brothers, teachers, and anyone who likes great-smelling soaps.

My Mum Jenny helps me work out the recipes for cold pressed soaps and quantities for each batch of soaps I make. I use the most natural products I can buy in my soaps. I also make shaving soaps in tins which are great gifts for men, and ‘Relaxing’ bath salts. I have recently added a shampoo bar and conditioner bar to my range. You can see them in the pictures below.

I like to wrap the soaps up so they look nice, and people like to use them and give them as gifts to their friends and families

Partnership with Special Gifts

Katrina and Suzanne first met Laura at Recreate’s Illuminate Night Markets, where we purchased her amazing smelling soaps and bath salts as presents for friends. Therefore, she was one of the first people we contacted to join us as a gift partner, and we were excited to include her hand-poured soaps in many of our Special Gift Boxes. Since joining us at Special Gifts, Laura has extended her product range to include bath bombs and shaving foam, which we are excited to include in our gift boxes.
