We're forever in search of the perfect hostess gift. Soaps are good, especially for someone with hand-washing averse kids (maybe the yummy scents and pretty colors will trick them into it). But those specialty soap stores are needless to say, a bit pricey.

Sweet Grass Farm offers a range of all-natural French milled soaps made of olive oil and infused with vitamins and moisturizers. And the price is right, so you can stock up on the lavender, fresh white lilac and lemon verbena scents. The New Hampshire-based manufacturer has a range of herbal home and body products, including the FarmBaby line of lavender-infused wash, creams and spray.

Always the perfect guest, you're sure to be invited back.
