Soap Gift Sets

Handmade soap gift sets, ready to give

Soap is one of the easiest gifts there is. Everybody uses it, almost nobody buys themselves the good stuff, and a handmade bar feels a lot more thoughtful than another candle or a gift card. Our gift packs bundle our most-loved bars together at a little less than buying them separately, so you can check a few people off your list in one click.

Every bar is made by hand in small batches in Massachusetts, from organic oils, and cured until it's hard and long-lasting.

Our soap gift packs

• Locker Room Gift Pack. Give Yer Balls a Scrub and Post Game Interview, two bergamot and bourbon bars for groomsmen, dads, coaches and teammates.
• Champagne Toast Gift Pack. BubbleDrunk and Mother-In-Law's Favorite, two bubbly, champagne-scented bars. Our favorite hostess gift.
• Sweet, Fresh & Simple Gift Pack. One sweet bar, one fresh bar and one fragrance-free castile bar. A safe bet when you don't know their taste yet.
• Fan Favorites Gift Pack. Four of our best sellers in one set. Great for families, stockings or anyone who wants to try a few.

Build your own soap gift set

Want something specific? Make your own set from any bars on our soap shelf. A good rule of thumb is one sweet, one fresh and one woodsy, or build the whole set around one person's favorite scent family. Every bar is $11 or less, and US shipping is free on orders of $75 or more, which works out to about eight bars. Not sure what they'll like? Our soap quiz can help, and our gift guide matches bars to the people on your list.

Sending soap as a gift

When you check out, tick the "This is a gift" box in your cart and add a personal message. It'll come through with your order. You can ship straight to the person you're shopping for, which makes soap an easy gift for someone you can't see in person. Because we make everything in small batches, order a little earlier than you think you need to around the holidays.

Who soap gifts are good for

• Hosts. Bring a bar or two instead of, or along with, a bottle of wine.
• Teachers, coaches and coworkers. Thoughtful, useful and easy to give in a group.
• Stockings. A single bar fits perfectly, and a pack covers a whole family.
• Gift swaps. A funny bar like Give Yer Balls a Scrub wins white elephant and Yankee swap games.
• Groomsmen and bridesmaids. Small, personal and something they'll actually use.
• Yourself. We won't tell.

Tell them to use it

Handmade soap is meant to be used, not saved in a drawer for a special occasion. (There's a whole internet trend about this called the lavender soap theory, and we're firmly on its side.) Keeping the bar on a dish that drains between showers helps it last for weeks. More in how long a bar of soap lasts.
