Greetings one and all!
Here at the Haus we have a number of new and exciting things planned for the first part of 2011! Last year was a great year for us and we hope to continue to improve the service and products we provide you. Here are some dates to mark for Gloi happenings in the coming weeks:
Roll on perfume bottles are now available as an option in our perfume section.
January 7th - Litchi Milk Tea is arriving at last! Our newest catalog scent will be available in our full product line. This will also be the last day for Yuletide items - be sure to stock up on any departing favorites!
January 20th - The first of our reformulated cold process soap bars will be in stock! We are really excited about our new longer lasting formula - we've heard good things from our testers! Not all scents will be in stock immediately - please expect approximately 2 weeks for full stock. We will also be putting up a cure date page so you can stay advised of what will be available when.
January 30th (approx.) - Valentine's release day! We have a trio of scents for your enjoyment that we are very excited about (formal announcement to come soon). In addition, we will be releasing the first products in our "Aether" unscented line - all of the same goodness of Gloi lotions and scrubs without added fragrance for those with sensitivies or workplace perfume restrictions.
Other changes and happenings coming in the next few months:
Body Emulsions and Pumpkin Butters will be resized. We've talked to a lot of you about what you want packaging-wise from our products and have come up with a size assortment we think is the best of both worlds. Pumpkin Butters will still be available in their current 2oz and 6oz jar size, however Body Emulsions will be sold in an 8oz bottle (with optional pump) only.
Label tweaking. We plan to take advantage of having an "in-house design team" - Matt's parents are quite happy that he's FINALLY doing something with his design degree - to refine the color schemes to reduce order mis-picks caused by "look alike" labels. Look for new labels to be appearing in the next couple of months and phasing in as products sell through.
Shipping price increase. Unfortunately we will be increasing shipping charges by about 5% due to a rate increase with the USPS. Our shopping cart determines shipping by requesting a quote from the USPS server so this change will be automatic. We will be keeping the maximum domestic shipping charge of $10.50. This change takes place on Jan. 2nd, so all orders placed after this will be charged according to the new USPS rates. We will as always do our best to keep shipping rates as low as possible and refund overages when they occur.
Thank you all, we look forward to serving you in 2011!
Britton + Matt

I can't wait for Litchi Milk tea!!! I need to restock my emulsifying scrubs and whipped soaps and I really want a pumpkin butter in this scent... (and in Imp!)
ReplyDeleteVery excited to hear about the Aether line - I like having an unscented lotion on hand for when I don't want to clash with my perfume.
ReplyDeleteReally excited for Valentine's scents, and I think the Aether line is an excellent idea - your formulations are so good, I would love an unscented pumpkin butter for my kiddo.
ReplyDeleteYour labels and general branding are really well done IMO, so I'll be looking forward to the tweaks.
I'm trying to check out and the site will not let me add postage :(
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to all the new Haus changes, so glad the emulsion is staying, the best lotion around.
ReplyDeleteI love the emulsion but i hate bottles and much prefer them in jars!....I think im probably the only though :) I can just decant them out into old jars and luckily i love the butters too so i will mostly stick to them from now on.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to valentine offers! ;) And other future 2011 haus offerings!
Put in my valentines order yesterday, super excited after how delicious my halloween products were :-)
