Oprah's Favorite Things: Claus Porto Soaps from Lafco New York

Every year around Thanksgiving, Oprah has her "Favorite Things" show. Showcasing each item she considers to be a great gift idea. It is quite the task to be able to be a part of the audience on the Oprah show, and nearly impossible to be a member of the audience for Oprahs Favorite Things. Most of us watch from home, wishing that we too could be receiving such incredible gifts!

This year, one of Oprah's favorite things, is Claus Porto Soaps from Lafco New York. This company has been around since 1887, creating these wonderful products in Portugal. These extra large bars of soap are available in packs of 3, and come in 18 different scents. From refreshing Grapefruit fig to Honeysuckle, there is a fragrance for everyone. Each bar of soap is made from 100% Pure Vegetable soap base and skin softening Shea Butter. Combine these with the finest fragrances from the South of France that will last to very end of the bar.

All these ingredients are then milled seven times, as is their way in Europe. Thus producing a very dense soap with an ultra rich and luxurious lather, making it obvious why Oprah chose it as one of her "Favorite Things"! The 3 packs retail for $42, which is very reasonable for such a lovely gift item. They would make a great hostess gift for all those Christmas parties you attend. Or stock them for your own guest bathroom!

If you weren't lucky enough to live in Macon, Georgia for Oprah's Favorite Things Show this year, then visit www.lafcony.com or your local Neiman Marcus to purchase the Claus Porto Soaps. While it won't be as simple as receiving it as a gift from our favorite day time talk show host, it is fairly easy to get your hands on what is sure to become one of our favorite things! Your bath will be more enjoyable, and your skin will thank you!!
