Starfish and Sea Urchin Soap in Tahitian Bamboo Box*
This starfish or sea urchin soap favor comes packaged in a tiki style bamboo box.
This lovely party favor is sure to delight guests whether your wedding is set on an island or simply has a beach theme. The unique-looking Tahitian box is made of bamboo, and it is small, intricate and sure to impress all on its own. Each box is handcrafted and features seashells placed on the outside, so every beach-themed party favor on your tables has its own character and no two are quite alike. At 2" x 2" x 2" the box sits neatly on a napkin, beside a place card or in the hollow of a shell-filled centerpiece. When it is opened, this wedding favor bamboo box reveals a small soap in the shape of a starfish or a sea urchin, nestled perfectly on a bed of wood grass.
Guests will be enchanted with the aroma of the ocean when the soaps are revealed, as the French milled starfish and sea urchin wedding soaps are touched with a hint of sea mist scent. Not only does it instantly set the mood for an island style wedding, but every time your guests use these lovely soaps in their own home they are sure to think of your special day. The bamboo box outlives the soap, which is the quiet charm of this favor: it becomes a trinket box on a dresser instead of something cleared away with the plates.
You can also personalize the outside of the keepsake bamboo box with a custom tag, personalized in-house by HansonEllis, so guests will always remember where they received this unique party favor. The personalized tags can showcase the name of the bride and groom, offering that perfect finishing touch on a beach-themed wedding favor.
Not only will these soapy starfish and sea urchins allow guests to take home a hint of island, but you can combine them with other favors such as the Personalized Sand Dollar and arrange them on tables at your reception. With a guest name on each tag, the favors double as a seating guide. Do not forget to finish off the celebration in continued style by sending Mini Thank You Messages in a Bottle to express your gratitude for their attendance on your special day.
Add your tag wording above, choose your quantity, and send every guest home with a little of the ocean.

Which one should I choose
The description places this favor among the other beach pieces, so the choice is really about what you want the guest to take home: something to use, something to display, or a message to read.
| Starfish and Sea Urchin Soap in Tahitian Bamboo Box | Choose it when you want a scented favor guests will use, arriving in a handcrafted bamboo keepsake box. |
|---|---|
| Personalized Sand Dollar | Choose it when you want a flat keepsake to lay at each place setting, and combine the two on the same table. |
| Mini Thank You Message in a Bottle | Choose it for the thank-you sent after the wedding rather than the favor set out during it. |
| Plain paper favor box | Choose it only if the favor is a filler; the bamboo box and soap survive the party, a paper box rarely does. |
For a beach wedding, the bamboo box and soap is the favor guests keep; add the sand dollar for the tables and the message bottle for the thank-you.
