Virgil's Fine Soaps Announces New Men's Gift Baskets that Appeal to the Average Guy
Troy, OH (ContentDesk) August 12, 2005 ?
With the holidays fast approaching, one common problem persists. What do you buy your favorite guy? If a plasma TV is a bit out of your price range, and he already has a lifetime supply of golf balls and sports jerseys, Virgil's Fine Soaps offers a solution by
announcing the launch of their one-of-a-kind Fisherman's Friend Soap & Gift Baskets. The baskets are an extension of their popular line of hand poured soaps for hardworking hands and provide an alternative to the "blah" holiday gifts guys usually get under the tree. Women love the baskets because Virgil's premium handsoap fights strong odors of fish, garlic and tobacco while it scrubs and moisturizes hands. Guys love the bakets because the soap isn't flowery and they have a lot of useful fishing tools inside.
Virgil, the President (and avid fisherman) oversaw the development of the baskets and made sure that everything in the baskets was legitimite and useful. "Average guys like taking care of themselves, but they don't want to feel flowery." Virgil Schroeder says, "Average guys get excited about quality and usefulness, not glamour. Our soaps and gifts take the effort out of scrubbing up, appeal to an average guy's interests and fit into any budget."While the $250 million+ men's personal care market is focusing on the classic Metro-Sexual, Virgil's Fine Soaps is taking the "average" approach by designing soaps and gifts that appeal to a guy's practical side. Virgil's homespun feel and classic "general store" brand taps into family and tradition without the use of glitz or macho sports themes.About Virgil's Fine SoapsAt the heart of Virgil's Fine Soaps is patriarch Virgil? a big-hearted family man with a love of nature and a passion for fishing. A chemical engineer with GM for 35 years, Virgil and wife, Katie (a consumer scientist with Ohio State University), developed Fisherman's Friend Soap.
It took two years and 104 experimental batches in Katie's kitchen to perfect the innovative combination of hand-stirred scrubbing pumice, anise essential oils and moisturizing aloe to meet Virgil's high standards. The hobby turned into a business in 2004, when his daughter stepped up full-time to help license and sell Virgil's Fine Soaps. Virgil's other two children help with sales, marketing and website design, and his son-in-law, an executive chef, helps develop new scents. With Virgil's, it's all in the family.Available on the internet, at http://www.virgilsfinesoaps.com, Virgil's Fine Soaps can be purchased wholesale for retailers and is found in shops and boutiques thoroughout the United States and Canada.Contact:Katie Schroeder, Soap QueenThe Pure and Simple Company, LLC(937) 689-4324http://www.virgilsfinesoaps.com.

Wine And Cheese Baskets
A popular gift during the holiday season or at exclusive events is the wine and cheese basket. The combination is as old as time, and wins hearts and favors with ease. It indicates a sophisticated palate and a superior appreciation for the good things of life.
Selecting the right wine and cheese is as much a matter of personal preference as of the area from which they are produced. Usually, the amalgam from a particular location works best and saves you much time and trouble while giving. However, when it comes to experimenting with the two, there are myriad styles to adventure with.
Made with as much care and artistry as wine, cheese is a product of careful craft and ingenuity.
Prepared from cow, sheep, goat or yak's milk, cheese can be fresh, poached, or hard; with a washed, flourished or natural rind, and melted or cured. Cheese can even be spiced up or enfolded in leaves for new aromas to sink in. Farm cheeses or industrial cheeses come in various...

Magazine Ads A New Decorating Idea
Without realizing it, I stumbled across a trend in decorating that I had no idea existed. It seems that many people are using vintage magazine ads as home decorations. For example, if you have a home bar, you may be interested in framing some old Ballantines ale or Jack Daniels ads. If your first car was a 1969 Chevelle, you may want to frame a vintage Chevrolet ad. Colorful full page ads seem to spark the most interest.
I've heard all sorts of great ideas from people. The latest was a...
