[@sorayastevens545]

Hi Jerika, so many great gift set tips, I love it! And yes, I would like to see a video about customizing Shopify listings! Thanks so much for everything you do for us!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

You’re welcome, soraya! Thanks for watching ☺️

[@oAmericanSweethearto]

I needed this video 😩 I’m struggling to sale my breast cancer awareness gift boxes and it’s discouraging me from try more holiday gift sets

[@ebonysebony405]

The intro effects are levelled up! Thank you for the video always informative and fun :)

[@ItsTrenace]

This video was right on time. I am a candle seller and was interested in a gift box. The info in this video was very helpful. Took notes and will be doing research. THANKS!!!

[@hollyanderson2102]

Thank you so much for this information. It’s so helpful! What I was wondering: for your gift sets, do you place your nice white box in a separate box? Or do you simply add your shipping label to the white box?

[@angelamarroquin9669]

Do you ship them out like that and just tape it all over or do you put the gift box in another box? If you do add it into another box, how much do you size up for the outer box?

[@karissakelley3710]

I'm wondering the same thing! Also the size of the box

[@joanneelliott4850]

This is exactly what I was just thinking throughout the video. If my candles are not bubble wrapped properly they’ll get smashed as the have been before

[@natashajoseph-deleon6572]

Thank you Jerika. This is very helpful. As a new business owner, the details can become overwhelming and intimidating. You are helping so much!! God bless you 🙏🏽❤

[@JerikaZimmerman]

[@xavieracoleman2657]

Perfect timing as I am putting together my bundles

[@catherinedrew203]

Hi! I'm a new crafter. You make me feel like I've got something to offer those who want to give something nice to their loved ones. I knew absolutely nothing about these things you talked about but now I feel like I can finally do this! I started making soap just a month ago and today I spent all day making and playing around with different scents and making soap that's appealing to the eye. I'm hoping to retire in 2 1/2 years so I need to get started making my product (and name) known now. Thank you so very much for this info!!!

[@melindaduncan3073]

We appreciate you my bubble BFF! You have really made a difference in my thoughts and what direction I’ll be going when I finally decide to launch. When did you know it was time for you to pull the plug and launch your business? Thank you for all of your helpful information.

[@morodriguez4485]

I would love to see a video on customizing Shopify for this option for holiday season ‘22

[@debkirk9536]

You are so wonderful and such a wonderful teacher. I love watching you. Thank you 😊

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thanks so much, Deb!

[@bibianesproule6585]

Hi Jerika, last year we sent glass jars of product and ended up wrapping them individually so they wouldn't break - do you do that or just let the crinkle be your protection for the jar?

[@aquamarinemintakangoddess9073]

I was wondering this too, were you able to figure it out?.

[@davenosoaps4225]

Your awesome for sharing! I did gift boxes for Christmas and it was a big hit!

[@violetvallery5991]

Thank you!! i have been struggled with this... putting up my gift set. i always look forward to your tips.

[@BlueJuniperSoap]

[@tonyabrowninghikes]

Thank you for sharing so much about the soap business and how you do this. I am new to soaping but hoping in time I will fell confident enough to start selling.

[@michellebarclay7138]

[@boop7313]

Yes!!! Thankyou Jerika!! I would so appreciated a video on how to customise orders on my squarespace website too if at all possible!? Nobody seems to be doing that (I'd be so keen to see that. I managed to add two variations of a product but it's not perfect.. Thanks for this video too , perfect timing for me. Ty Ty xx

[@karinaaguilar4887]

Can you do a video on how to set up the gift options on Shopify? Including the personal messages for the Birthday Cards

[@moiraesfate1]

Thank you so much Jerika. I've been thinking that it's time to up my game. Unfortunately the last two months have been difficult so I'm just getting back into the game. I'm trying to level up my game. Meaning, offering more items with the same or similar scents. Like bar soap, sugar scrub, and bath bomb in apricot peach. I'm also going to add a lip balm in melon. I had considered gift boxes but you've really helped me put things into a more cohesive mindset. I was wondering how exactly to do it.

[@fionammorrison]

Thanks so much for this information. I volunteer for the Epilepsy Association of the Maritimes as I have epilepsy and we are always looking for ways to get the message out there and I think if we could do something like this it would help spread joy with the gift and knowledge. Thanks Jerika!

So with that gift Box, do you put it in another Box to save it from being banged up from shipping or do you leave it as is and put all of the shipping information on the outside of it?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

We will put the box in a padded bubble mailer to protect it ☺️
