Is there, I ask you, a more perfect present than soap?
Everyone uses it, or at least, they should. It has moreover the swank value of being more environmentally friendly than gel or handwash, in their (mostly) plastic containers. It’s an ideal size and shape for wrapping, especially in a gift set, or, singly, for a Christmas stocking. It’s relatively cheap – and by that I mean, relative to something like scent, though the prices below vary markedly. And it’s more or less risk-free. If you buy a fragrance, you’re taking a punt on someone’s taste, but a nice soap is universally acceptable.
