If you want to get a gift for someone who seems to have everything they need or want, here’s a bit of advice. You should get them something they can use up! Or else get them something that’s so different and creative that they’ll treasure it anyway. The soaps on the list could fill both suggestions.
1. Beaker and Test Tube Soaps
The Mad Scientist Soaps Gift Set contains a beaker and a test tube. Order as many as you like and Meilin at Two Eggplants Company will ship you the colors and scents you prefer. The soaps pictured are scented with raspberries, mint, and orange, but you can get unscented or even custom smells and colors. If you look close, you’ll see bubbles at the top of the “chemicals” in the containers! Perfect for a scientist (mad or not), a science geek, or a student.
2. Game of Foams
Is someone on your gift list a Game of Thrones fanatic? They’ll be thrilled to get a hand-carved soap with a crest for their preferred clan, here called Game of Foams. The Soap of Stark features a grey wolf on winter white, and the Soap of Lannister features a golden lion on crimson. Your choice, from GeekSoap.
3. Rice Krispy Treats Soap
This looks tempting, but don’t take a bite out of it! These Rice Krispies treats are soap made of vegan glycerin. Are they crunchy? I don’t know! But they will get you clean.
4. Fingers Soap
Get your hands clean with finger soap! These disembodied fingers come in a set of four so you can use as little or as much as you need. Creepy, yes, but they’ll certainly draw attention -and may even encourage the most reluctant kids to lather up in the bathtub!
5. Cinnamon Chai Soap
A cup of chai is so tasty and relaxing, but can be fattening if you don’t limit yourself. Cinnamon chai soap is NOT fattening at all, and has that same delicious scent that will linger after your bath.
6. Christmas Ribbon Candy Soap
If you buy Christmas candy soap, you’ll want to keep it for yourself, or give it early enough for the recipient to display before the holiday. Of course, no matter how impressed guests are with your artistic soap, they won’t actually use it because it’s too pretty. So what? Use it yourself or save it to put out again next year! Ribbon candy soap smells like Christmas candy and comes in a random variety of red, white, and greens stripes -just like the real thing!
7. Beer Soap
Brooklyn Brewery, a real beer brewery, offers Beer Soap in their gift shop. Yes, there’s beer in it, your choice of lager, ale, or stout. Hey, if beer is good for a shampoo, it must be good for body soap, too!
8. My Poop Does Not Stink
Now, this proves that you can get soap in any shape whatsoever. Titled My Poop Does Not Stink, this soap should always be in the bathroom -not the kitchen! Hand made by Leeana Provan of LoveLeeSoaps. She has quite a selection of more conventional soaps, too, including many Christmas designs.
9. Hamburger Soap
It’s pretty neat to have soap in the shape of a hamburger patty, two pieces of bun, a piece of lettuce and a slice of tomato! Stack your soap hamburger however you want. The bun is French bread scented, which makes sense, but the rest is …wait for it… bacon scented! No, it doesn’t make sense, but isn’t it wonderful? Of course, if you have time for a custom order, you can get this burger in another scent.
10. Elements
What’s your favorite element? A collection called In Your Element has a variety of soap bars featuring different element symbols. Shown is uranium, which glows in the dark. The elements are colored somewhat like the element it represents. The sodium bar contains salt for scrubbing! If you can’t make up your mind, BubbleGenius also has bars with several elements on them, spelling out “foam” or “soap,” or you can get a set of a dozen bars.
11. Periodic Table Soap
You can also get the entire periodic table in one bar of soap from Two Eggplants.
12. D20 Soap On A Rope
Soap on a rope has been a Christmas gift staple for men for well over a half-century. Make it more than useful to your favorite D&D geek in the shape of a D20 die! Next thing you know, he’ll be rolling the soap to determine what body part to wash next. The die is handmade with the regulation 20 sides, and it smells good, too.
13. Caffeinated Soap
Invigorate yourself in the morning with caffeine-infused soap. Each bar is made of vegetable-based glycerin with peppermint scent and caffeine. If you make a bar last for a dozen showers, you should get 200 milligrams of caffeine per shower, which can be absorbed through your skin depending on how long you leave it on.
14. Dentures
Dentures soap might not be the best gift for an elderly person who 1. wears dentures and 2. doesn’t see very well. But for anyone else it should be perfectly safe -and funny! Cup not included.
But that’s not all!
