Fresh Bet Bits, Claire Burke Original Memories, Home Fragrance Product Updates and Commentary

Apparently I went slap-crazy a few weeks ago when I ordered so many awesome new WoodWick goodies. I was delighted to see WoodWicks offering up new Reed Diffuser Refills because so many of our customers have requested these.

We are starting out with 10 WoodWick refill scents:

* Cinnamon Chai * Cotton Flower * Honeysuckle *
* Lavender * Linen * Orange Grove * Redwood *
* Sandalwood Clove * Tuberose* Vanilla Bean*


All of these Reed Diffuser Refill sets are beautifully gift boxed and include: one 7.4 oz bottle of oil and 10 new reeds. They are designed to fragrance for at least 3 months. Now you can create your own reed diffuser by using the glass container of your choice that best suits your decor.

You could even mix & match the oil scents to create your own custom fragrance. Lastly, this is better for our landfills so we don’t keep throwing away jars and packaging. Because the oil is the most expensive part, these sell for $20.00 vs. the entire set which sells for $27.00

We also have more new WoodWick Reed Diffuser sets now available in:
* Aloe * Lemon Chiffon * Orange Grove * Pineapple * Water Lily *

Lastly, we have 5 new Old Virginia Wax Tarts just in for Spring/Summer 08:
* Campfire * Lavender * Lemon Meringue * Orange * Soft Cashmere *

WOW, Wade & I had a hectic trip to Atlanta for 2 days to attend the huge January Gift Show to order new merchandise for Spring. Needless to say we were exhausted by the time we left. Here is a brief recap of what we have planned for Spring/Summer 2008:

* New WoodWick candles and Reed Diffusers.
* New Old Virginia Tarts.
* More new WoodWick car scents and Home Fragrance Oil scent choices.
* New WoodWick Fusion art-glass Candles & Reed Diffuser - simply stunning!
* New WoodWick Reed Diffuser oil refills w/new Reeds.
* NEW Olive Oil Organics in travel tin candles and large 22 oz clear glass. AWESOME scent!
* More new Hillhouse Farm Naturals tin candles and new Pomegranate Reed Diffuser.
* Hillhouse Good Dog Linen Spray and tin candle.
* NEW Greenleaf Reed Diffusers and refills. These are ceramic and so charming.
* Greenleaf has introduced a new scent called Evening Twilight which is a powdery soft scent that will be available in Aroma Decor Diffuser Oil.
* 2 New Greenleaf Aroma Decor Diffusers: Yellow Vase, Shanghai
* Greenleaf has also reformulated their lotions to include Jojoba making them even better!
* Greenleaf has a new Spa line which we will be adding soon: Bath Salts, Scrub, etc.

We are optimistically guarded that we will soon be selected to become an Aromatique retailer. They gave me their new Peach Pizazz candle to burn and it is phenomenal! We are excited to report we have ordered:

* The Smell of Spring
* Summer Sorbet
* Fresh Fig
* Citrus Plum Berry
* Peach Pizazz

Thanks to the feedback from Sandy Wood who was kind enough to share her thoughts with me regarding Aromatique!

We have also ordered several other new lines which will be arriving over the next few months:
* Baekgaard leather purse accessories in bright colors.
* Scentier Parfum Fragrance Lampes and Oils
* Lastly, we are expanding our Caswell-Massey lines due to your comments and strong interest to include: Men’s Verbena & Tricorn, Ladies: Almond & Aloe, English Lavender.

I also visited the Enchanted Meadow showroom and will be ordering a few of their new lines as well. So, it was a busy market and we expect Spring to be very busy at Freshbet. As always, if you have comments or suggestions, please email Bet.
