Toiletry Gift Sets

Camberwick toiletry gift sets
Apart some character soaps manufactured by Jean Sorelle,Trumptonshire toiletries were the domain of a compnay called Wright,Layman & Umney.
At the beginning of the 70's they produced their own range of soap characters ... plus a range of bath foam ... and single tin of talcum powder.
And later on in the decade these were repackaged into various toiletry gift sets.And very good they are too !
The talc tins still carry the same 1970 copyright mark,so I suppose it's not totally inconceivable that they were original leftover stock.Which probably isn't that far-fetched as I'm not sure talc and foam bath actually have a shelf do they ?
And ebay has shown us that character soaps can still look shop-fresh even decades later.
Anyhow,new or not,all the constituent parts of these gift packs look exactly the same as the originals,with just the addition of some nice colourful boxes to house them in.
And perhaps the most obvious question is why they didn't do it when the individual products were first launched ?
Because if they did I've certainly never seen any.
