This is that special time of the year where we play "can we keep enough stock on the shelves" and all the courier services slow down. Here's a brief rundown on some of our more popular "Back In Stock" requests and what their status is.

Queen B Beeswax Candles

Queen B Beeswax Candles make a stunning gift in their pillar candles, but their beeswax Tealight Candles and their Jam Jar Tealight Candles often make it on to Christmas tables for decoration and mood lighting on Christmas Day. Each Tealight Candle burns for 8 to 9 hours and the Jam Jar Tealights (pictured below) only do 4-5 hours, but they look stunning in the little glass jars and refills are available so you can  use the glass jars over and over again. Buy them in a 2 + 8 set (2 jars, 8 candles) and 8 + 8 set (8 jars, 8 candles) or a refill candle set.

We also have beautiful hand rolled pillars in various heights and widths that burn for up to 200 hours.  They are all due back in store by the end of this week.

Shampoo Bars from Beauty & The Bees

Sticking with the beeswax theme, we're very particular with the companies we choose to work with who use beeswax as their main ingredient. We have the discussion about the original of the beeswax to ensure they work closely with their beekeepers. Both Queen B and Beauty and The Bees do this.

We have very little stock of the shampoo bars on the shelves at the moment. They have proven more popular than anticipated this season. They are quite the unique personal care gift to give someone instead of just regular soap. If you're not sure which soap suits you, we have tester packs with a sample of every soap bar in the range. Trial and error is the best way to find that perfect match for your hair type. This is the largest shipment from this brand ever to land in store, so we shouldn't run out through the holiday season.

Boody Underwear

We have been out of stock of a fair bit of the Boody Underwear range for some weeks now. We should have everything back in stock by the end of this week or very early next week. Cotton is a resource hog, especially with water, and unless it's organic, uses a lot of synthetic pesticides. Boody is made from 80% bamboo, spun in to a viscose fabric that's ultra soft and far more eco-friendly to produce the raw materials. There are some chemicals used in the process but it is done using a Closed Loop System so nothing leaks in to the environment and there is no residual left in the fabric once it's done.

There are some new styles, sizes and colours available that will be added on to the store as quickly as we possibly can for you. Boody is worn and loved by many of the staff at Shop Naturally.

No Nasties Kids Play Makeup

This has been hot property and out of stock with the brand until this week. As I type this, our delivery from No Nasties is coming via Express Post and will arrive in our warehouse dock in the morning. Every Christmas this is one product that's really difficult to keep on the shelves. Kids Makeup is a hot ticket item and there just isn't an equal in the market in Australia to this brand.  So many kids makeup sets contain chemicals and skin irritants and preservatives. When kids lick and eat all kinds of things they shouldn't, this is one area where it pays to go natural.

Designed for play, the colours in the sets are bold and bright and fun with accessories to match, packed in brown craft boxes to keep the eco-friendly feel of the brand. We're just a little bit more than excited about their water based nail polish arriving next week. The makeup sets are here for sale now, but the nail polish is 'coming'  very very soon. It's available in a pink and purple shade and we're super excited that Australia finally has a decent water based nail polish again. Hopscotch Kids stopped formulating  years ago and we just have not been happy with other brands.
