Stock Up Your Retail Store With Last-Minute Kris Kringle Gifts Under $10 & $20 — Why Wild Essence Soap Is the Perfect Choice
It happens every year: customers rush into stores during the final days before Christmas looking for something thoughtful, something affordable, and something that looks like they put in more effort than they actually had time for. Last-minute Kris Kringle gifts are one of the biggest impulse-buy categories in December, and shoppers want items that tick three boxes: affordable, beautiful, and universally loved.
This is exactly where Wild Essence Natural Soap shines.
For retailers, stocking Wild Essence soap in the lead-up to Christmas is an incredibly smart move. With price points comfortably under $10 and $20, these artisan soaps become the ideal grab-and-go gift for office Secret Santas, school gifts, neighbour drop-offs, stocking stuffers, and small “thank you” presents. Fast to understand, easy to pick up, and visually appealing on a shelf — they convert wonderfully during the Christmas rush.
Why Kris Kringle Picks Need to Be Simple, Natural, and Useful
Kris Kringle gifting is notoriously tricky. Shoppers often don’t know the recipient well, but still want to give something nice. That means retailers must offer products that are:
Unisex
Low-risk
Practical
Feel more premium than their price
Suitable for any age
Handmade natural soap sits perfectly in this category. It’s a safe choice, but also feels special. Customers love that they are giving a handmade, Australian-made, natural product instead of a novelty item that ends up unused or tossed away.
This is one of the reasons retailers consistently report high sell-through rates on artisan soap during the December period — it meets the exact emotional need of a “nice gift that isn’t too personal”.
Why Wild Essence Soap Sells So Well for Christmas
Wild Essence soap isn’t just another bar on the shelf. Each bar is crafted with pure essential oils, skin-loving butters, and botanical ingredients, giving it a luxurious presentation without the luxury price tag. When displayed in-store, it naturally attracts attention with its earthy colours, creamy textures, and minimalist packaging.
Here’s why your customers will reach for Wild Essence again and again:
✔Beautifully Packaged and Ready to Gift
The Wild Essence gift-ready packaging means shoppers don’t need to wrap anything. For last-minute buyers running into your store between work and the Christmas party, this ease is a major selling point. The natural aesthetic also fits perfectly with the growing trend toward eco-friendly gifting.
✔ Under $10 or $20 — Perfect for Secret Santa Budgets
Most workplaces set Kris Kringle limits at:
$10 gifts
$20 gifts
Wild Essence soap falls naturally within these brackets. A single bar sits under $10, and a two-bar or soap-and-organza-bag pairing fits perfectly under $20. This gives your customers flexible options and higher average order value opportunities for your store.
✔ Truly Natural — No Synthetic Fragrance
More customers than ever are reading labels and avoiding artificial fragrance oils. Wild Essence uses only pure essential oils, not synthetic perfume. This aligns beautifully with conscious consumers looking for cleaner, simpler skin care.
When browsing for quick gifts, shoppers feel confident choosing something natural and gentle — especially if they don’t know the recipient’s sensitivities or skin type.
✔ A Gift That Actually Gets Used
So many Secret Santa presents end up in the bin or the back of a drawer. Soap is one of the few gifts that always gets used. It feels indulgent, smells beautiful, and adds a touch of luxury to someone’s day — without the buyer spending a fortune.
How to Maximise Impulse Sales in Your Retail Store
If you’re stocking Wild Essence soap for Christmas, here are a few proven strategies to increase conversion during the December rush:
1. Create a Kris Kringle Display
A small counter display labelled:
“Kris Kringle Gifts Under $10 & $20”
instantly attracts shoppers who are panicking about last-minute gifting. People love having the choice made easier.
Group soaps by scent families (fresh, floral, calming, uplifting) to make selecting even quicker.
2. Bundle Options for Under $20
Create simple pre-bundled packs, for example:
2 Wild Essence soaps in a organza gift box
1 Wild Essence soap + organza gift bag Red with beads for Christmas feel
1 Wild Essence soap + organza gift bag
These bundles give customers that “curated gift” feel and often double your average sale value.
3. Position Near the Counter for Impulse Buys
Place Wild Essence soaps near your registers in baskets or trays. December is the month where customers are already spending more — adding a thoughtful $10 or $20 gift feels effortless.
4. Emphasise “Natural” and “Australian-Made”
Consumers are drawn to authenticity. Adding shelf talkers reading:
“Handmade in Victoria”
“Pure Essential Oils”
“No Synthetic Fragrance”
“Natural Kris Kringle Gifts Under $20”
helps reinforce the value.
Why Customers Will Come Back for More
While many shoppers will purchase a bar as a quick gift, Wild Essence often becomes the product they remember — the one they enjoyed using and want more of. This helps retailers generate repeat customers well after the Christmas rush, turning seasonal gifting into year-round sales.
Wild Essence Natural Soap ticks every box
For retailers, the best products at Christmas are those that sell themselves: beautiful, practical, natural, and affordable. Wild Essence Natural Soap ticks every box. Whether your customers are searching for a thoughtful $10 Secret Santa idea or a beautifully presented $20 gift, Wild Essence delivers exceptional value and everyday luxury.
This Christmas, make your shelves irresistible — stock up on Wild Essence and capture the last-minute gifting market with ease.
