Thanks for stopping by our new "how to" page! We have been thinking of sharing more of our own experiences on how we went about creating our own gift shop business (for no charge), if we see there is enough interest from our visitors. This is not quite a blog yet, but that might be an option for later. In our first installment, we'd like to share what we have learned about similar business opportunities to our gift shop that you can get lots more information about on the internet.
Recently, we have been searching the internet to learn what is available on-line that may be of interest to our site's visitors that want to learn how they can start an internet based business, similar to our Gift Shop, that they can run from their own home.
Creating your own spa products and making your own gift baskets are just a couple of examples of businesses similar to our own home based gift shop business that look like they:
- can be fun to do,
- be started in your spare time,
- be run out of a spare room in your home to start,
- have minimal start up costs,
- and have growth potential.
Creating your own spa products and making your own gift baskets are two business opportunities that we both are specifically interested in and which work well together as well as individually. Charlie Rutkowski, the site developer and owner of Rutkowski Gift Shop, was educated as a chemist and feels the information available on creating spa quality bath and body products looks very easy for anyone who knows how to cook. You do not need to be an experienced chemist like this gift shop's owner to be able to make your own spa products! If you can follow a recipe in a cookbook as good as Charlie's wife, Andrea, then you should be able to make your own spa quality products at home. Just following the recipes is enough to start, but if you want to experiment a bit and be creative, then that's even better!
Here are some resources to show you how to make your own spa quality products that we found to be interesting:

Be aware that you may be able to sign up for some free information from each of these resources; and, that each site linked to also provides materials for purchase that are guaranteed by the respective authors and their payment processor. If you have an email account that allows you to have multiple screen names, we would first suggest you set one up specifically to use when requesting free information from any internet site. Otherwise, you may want to consider using one of the email services where you can create a free account. The reason for doing this is that if the sites you sign up with start sending you a lot of information, then you can keep that information completely separate from your personal e-mail. We have only reviewed the general content available from each of the above sites; but, we have not reviewed any of the above individual site privacy notices. They may or may not be as careful as we are with the information you provide so you should review any of them you are interested in carefully before making any decisions to sign up for free information or to buy anything offered for sale.
Have you noticed the many gift baskets and gift sets available elsewhere on this site which have bath & body products bundled together? We have lots of gift baskets and bath & body products available for sale on our site. Be sure to buy a gift today for someone that matters to you.
