Early Winter Newsletter

It is December 2nd here at Dawn to Dusk Alchemy and 93% of the year has gone. Our Nation has crashed into long, cold, and many wet nights, punctuated by yet to be felt effects imposed by our masters in Westminster. However there is a feeling of temporary joy on the horizon as we stumble or dance our way into Christmas 2025.

A Challenging Year for Small Businesses

2025, a year of mixed fortune for small businesses paticularly those that choose to market through craft or wellness events as we do (We also sell on line and via our ETSY shop). A disapointingly slow New Year and Spring time with low foot fall and little disposable income for many. We wish to thank you all for your faith in our products and your continuing support across this difficult year. If you are a new customer we welcome feedback and comment through any of our live events or media contact platforms. Your opinion gives us valuable guidance.

Christmas Service and Order Processing

We are all in search for value for money, paticularly during the Christmas Festive Season and we at Dawn to Dusk Alchemy are confident that we can still deliver just that. Our business is not planning a formal Christmas or New Year shut down and any orders that land in our web or ETSY inboxes will get processed as normal, usually same day. The limiting factor is if the post is open and working, however, if you are reasonably local to us and you are home, we will mostly hand deliver.

New Products Added

We have thoroughly tested, evaluated and launched a completely new line for Dawn to Dusk Alchemy. A Natural Deodorant in a fully recycleable push up card cartridge, plus at 100 grams total capacity and small size it is airport compliant. Based on pure milled lemongrass with beeswax and other fine ingredients, it is available on our website as well as usual event outlets, and is a better value for 80mls than from the usual 40mls from retail outlets for a chemical free, superior product. We are receiving some wonderful comments from those that have bought and tried it.

By popular request, Dawn and the Team have introduced another bar shampoo to our existing Luxury Lavender Shampoo Bar and Luxury Lemongrass Shampoo Bar. We have created a high quality Vanilla shampoo bar which too possesses the same creamy lather combined with the properties of Vanilla essential oil.

At live events only, look out for our seasonal soap specials: Scent of Christmas, Autumn Spice and Winter Spice. They are already in limited stock, and when they are gone, they are gone until late 2026. The very last of the much sort after Halloween “Hocus Soapus” is available – but be quick!

Custom Batches and Bespoke Gifts

If anyone would like to purchase a full batch (usually 12) of any of our products, or create any special gift box or package, we are always happy to help create that special, bespoke, choice. What about a scent or fragrance idea, or a soap content that you would like. It must, however be a viable quantity and be safety compliant as per regulation. We will always evaluate your request. Get in touch here to ask us about a custom order.

We now offer a request facility for anyone who wishes to commission a batch of custom made soaps of their choice. This by necessity is subject to fixed conditions and can be ordered through our website or at an event outlet. Check our Custom Soap Commissions page for more details.

It just remains for us to wish you all a very happy and incident free Christmas and where possible, a healthy, prosperous 2026.

– Dawn, Geoff & Steph
