Unusual Christmas Gift Ideas:Big Ass Beer Soap

It’s big, it’s bold, it’s Duke Cannon Big Ass Beer Soap. No, it doesn’t smell like booty, but it will hold up a long day of hard, honest work. Forget the beer nuts and bad juke box tunes, this sudsy souvenir scrubs up your outside so you look just as phenomenal as stellar stout or hoppy IPA makes you feel – and you won’t even need beer goggles to catch a glimpse of your newfound aesthetic perfection. Duke has partnered with our BFFs at Old Milwaukee to mesh the classic American tradition of high-quality domestic lager with a soap formula that’ll get even your dirtiest crevices nice and clean. Old Milwaukee has been in business since 1849 and it’s our hope that this soap will find a similarly awesome place in our collective history.

Not too high on the idea of your special dude walking around smelling like a dive bar? Never fear, as we mentioned up top the soap isn’t actually beer scented. Instead, each bar is infused with the warm, inviting scent of sandalwood. It’s manly enough for a construction foreman or cartoon lumberjack but subtle enough to slink around under a suit and tie. Sneak a box into your man’s Christmas stocking, toss it into a dude-themed birthday gift basket, or stick it in the shower just because you can. We hear the results are practically intoxicating.

Details:

  • It turns out there are actual skin benefits that come from the beer, but that's just a nice side benefit of doing something awesome
  • Made by Duke Cannon in partnership with Old Milwaukee, purveyors of a quality domestic lager enjoyed by hard-working Americans since 1849
  • Big Ass Beer Soap that suds up well, gets you clean, and smells outstanding
  • It doesn't smell like beer - it has a woodsy, sandalwood scent that smells like a man should

Does she have a home filled with furniture and art that feels one-of-a-kind? Is he an independent spirit, including his indie style? Then it’s best to shop for unusual Christmas gifts outside the mainstream big-box stores.

Pinpoint Their Style

“Unusual” means different things to everyone — one person’s “unusual” is another’s “downright ugly”. To get the style just right, take clues from social media.

Unusual Pairings

How well do you know this person? It’s tough to choose an unusual gift for the home or wardrobe if you don’t know them really well (including those distant cousins you never get to see.)

There are so many unusual pairings of flavors in everything from chocolate to popcorn — and that unexpected flavor combo is sure to be a conversation starter around the tree.

6

On Location

What is one of his or her favorite places? Start your search with gifts that are specific to a location. You can even discover unusual gifts that show latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates, so you can map out their favorite spot.
