VERMONT COMPANY SHOWCASED

IN TALENT LOUNGE AT CBS TELEVISION SPECIAL

Carved Solutions, a Vermont-based company specializing in custom carved, personalized soap and candle products was showcased at CBS Television’s 9TH annual “A Home for the Holidays” Talent Lounge.

“A Home for the Holidays,” is a television special that will be broadcast Friday, Dec. 21 (8:00-9:00 p.m, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. It includes moving performances by celebrities like Sheryl Crow, James Blunt, Fergie, Carole King, Reba McEntire and appearances by actors including David Krumholtz, George Lopez and Rene Russo. It was taped in Hollywood, Calif.

Celebrities appearing in the special were presented with gifts in the Distinctive Assets’ Talent Lounge from eight companies, one of them Carved Solutions. The Williston company furnished its signature luxury gift set, which includes a custom embroidered, 100% ring-spun cotton finger towel , and a trio of Vermont made 100% vegetable- based, triple-milled soap bars, carved “PEACE”, “LOVE”, and “JOY.” A gift certificate to order direct from www.carvedsolutions.com allowing the stars to select a personalized item of their choice was also part of the package.

Russo, who has starred in nearly 20 major motion pictures, said of the Carved Solutions products: “Absolutely brilliant. I love it…smells clean and gentle”

King, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who’s won four Grammy Awards, said “the products are lovely.”

Carved Solutions was invited to the Talent Lounge after being approved by Distinctive Assets (an LA-based entertainment marketing company) and the show’s production company. “A Home for the Holidays” is produced by Triage Entertainment and Goldsmith Entertainment, in association with the Children's Action Network and the Dave Thomas Foundation.

Carved Solutions, established in 2006, is owned and operated by husband and wife team Mike and Dawn Lancaster of Williston. Products include custom carved personalized Vermont-made soap and candles, complimenting custom embroidered products, custom work and private label products.

In today’s anonymous world the art of gift-giving has changed dramatically. With so many mass-produced, overseas items populating today’s storefronts, the ability to give a gift that imparts an intimate awareness of individual caring has been lost. Carved Solutions brings back the warm feelings of recognition, awareness and connection. By customizing Vermont-made soaps, candles and embroidered gifts with an initial, monogram, name, message even a logo or illustration you have the power to personally touch someone’s soul.
