50 Days of Holiday Gifts: The Handmade Soap

THE HANDMADE SOAP
Full Moon Milk’s Bike Mechanic soap smells a lot better than you might think—it’s woodsy, which is exactly what a lot of dudes are going for. The chunky cubes are made on a farm near Bloomington with milk from the owner’s cows and herbs from the garden. The soap also contains raw egg shells, red clay, several moisturizing natural oils and butters, and scents of cedar and patchouli (of course). Perfect for any guy who’s way into his bike. (Hint: He’s still riding it, this time of year.) $5 on Etsy.
