This week I'm featuring some amazing small businesses that make artisan soaps and bath products for men. Not only are all the products super giftable for you favorite gays but they are all also super affordable (almost all the products are under $30, and the individual soaps are all $15 or less). I think artisan soaps make great stocking stuffers and I will definitely be placing a few orders from this list for my holiday gift giving. (I admit, there may be a few self-gifts too because some of this stuff is so good I want it for myself!)
The Ultimate Gay Men's Gift Guide:Top Picks in Soap and Bath Products
Pure Goat Soapworks: Located in Allegan, Michigan, Pure Goat Soapworks makes artisan goat milk soaps from natural ingredients. I’ve personally ordered from them twice now (and plan to again soon) and I really love the bar soaps I’ve received - they are long lasting and smell great! My personal favorite from what I’ve ordered is the ‘Water’s Edge’ scent. They also just came out with two beer soaps called Six Pack Suds which I think are super giftable for your favorite guys.
Alpaca Soaps: Natural soaps made by a sister duo Paulette and Cindy. They have a great story about starting a business together as ‘newbie seniors’ you can read HERE. They have a great ‘Bourbon Street gift bundle of soap for men that you can get HERE.
Etta + Billie: Food scented soaps that make me hungry! Their products are made with natural ingredients and made in their California studio. Etta + Billie donates a portion of the sales to organizations they believe in. You can see their entire selection of gifts for men HERE, but my top picks are the Chai Tea Soap and the Cold Brew Mint Coffee Soap.
Mood Indigo: They have a variety of artisan made men's soaps and beard products and plenty of pizzazz! (Just click over to their site to see what I mean!) See their selection of men’s products HERE.
Pep Soap Company: They have an olive oil soap for men called Hey Handsome that’s ‘sweet smooth with a kick.’ It’s scented with ylang ylang and spicy clove. Get yours HERE.
