Behind the Scenes: Restocking Stores & Packing Gift Boxes for an Event
Some days at Eco Living Aruba look less like beekeeping and more like an assembly line — and that's exactly what this week looked like.
Restocking the Stores
Every bar you see on a store shelf — like at Bliss Superfood — starts out here, stacked and counted by hand before it ever leaves our workspace. No warehouse, no automated fulfillment — just batches of Ocean Soap, Honey Soap, and Aloe Soap, packed and ready to go out the door for restocking.
Hand-Stamped Gift Boxes for an Event
At the same time, we've been hand-stamping a run of custom kraft gift boxes for an upcoming event — our bee logo pressed on one at a time with a wood-handled stamp, the same way we've always done it. It's slower than printing labels in bulk, but it's part of what "handmade" actually means around here.
Whether it's a store shelf or a gift box headed to an event, everything still starts on the same table, made the same way it always has.
