New packaging for baby soap
This is my new packaging for baby soaps,I wanted to have a soap dish for the flannel to sit on but I couldn't find any that were in the price range that I wanted so I managed to find some plastic containers that looked a bit like a bath and the flannel sits on top I think they are ok,and they may sell,
