As I continue to grow the lavender business, I am looking for further ideas of products. I am trying to keep outside the box and not do the same products as others(soap). One example - lavender hot chocolate.
What things would you like?
The website has most of the product line listed.
Thanks,
Laurie

In the winter I make a hand salve for the season. I always add lavender essential oil. Its amazing stuff. I made some for the girls I worked with for christmas and they loved it. {except one but for her if it doesn't have a brand name it isn't going to work. Silly girl} You could add the buds. i think they would just crumble away as you emulsify. That would just enhance the smell. |

lavender shortbread is amazing and keeps well
lavender lemon curd is also wonderful.

I love all things lavender. My favorite to make is champagne lavender jelly. Decorated beautiffully. Lavender shortbread cookies. I make a nice soy lotion candle in lavender. All natural.

lavender filled mug mats, dresser drawer scents in satin or calico, bunches for putting in a small vase, satin sachets for brides, anything to decorate with. Good luck

Awesome! I would sell them in a gift shop in your B&B too so they could use them while they are staying with you.

Making scone packages one of the vendors here does, but is a good idea. What do you think about lavender rice bags for bed warmers?

I love taking home the yummy luxuries I have on vacation..so I think it would really appeal to customers being able to take home what ever little lavender items you serve them for breakfast.

Boy, I agree with the suggestions of adding to cookies and scones, jams, jelly, syrups and tea blends.
I think there is TONS of potential!
You go girl!

I did a barter with Laurentany and she sent me a mix for White Chocolate Lavender Scones, very good! I agree with the syrup and jams. Maybe Peach Lavender Preserves. I second the butter cookies too. Tea Blends.

Lavender sugar is pretty easy to whip up and pretty to boot. Add a recipe or two...
Jams are a good idea and I have a few recipes for it.
Keep the ideas coming!!!!

Great idea, Heather. I'd love to take a prodect home from a B&B where I stayed.
I'm thinking lavender honey or lavender sugar to mix in tea or cookies. Also, someone gave me a lavender bud-several stalks of lavender where the stalks were folded up to cover the flowers inside hanging it with a purple ribbon. It hang in my linen closet...not your normal bag of lavender. I love the smell of lavender. Joey

you read my mind, I was thinking chocolate!
Also because you have your B&B I would do a syrup and jam line (lavender) you could have it available for breakfast for your customers, and then sell it to take home.
