For now, wake up to a new day every day and be inspired to find the next big thing every time you take a bath with these BitSoaps.

They’re basically Bitcoin-shaped soap that comes in hemp oil, castile, and lavender scents. If you have Bitcoins in your digital wallet, then these will remind you to spend them when the time is right. The BitSoaps are available online for $4.42(USD) each. Naturally, their maker accepts Bitcoins as payment.

Bacon, Coffee and Whiskey Soaps for Hipster Germophobes

If you are as big a fan of crispy, crunchy bacon as I am all you will need to hear is this- Bacon Soap. If you need a bit more explanation, here it is. ThinkGeek has some hand soaps in bars that smell like manly food and drink. The hand soaps are available in three scents; the bacon scent we have seen before.

Made by Outlaw Soaps, the set of three scents include bacon, coffee, and whiskey. I can get behind the bacon-scented soap, it even looks like bacon with the red and white marbling. The coffee soap makes sense too, while I hate the taste of coffee, it smells pretty good.

The whiskey soap is the questionable one to me. I can only imagine explaining to a cop that pulls you over and smells whiskey that you just took a bath.

Unicorn Poop Soap: Smell the Rainbow

You probably have that one person on your Christmas list that has everything. If you still haven’t decided what to get them, might I suggest Unicorn Poop Soap? I guarantee you they won’t have that. I’ve long thought the unicorn would poop rainbows, it turns out I was right.

ThinkGeek has taken that rainbow poop and turned it into hand soap. What does Unicorn poop soap smell like? A mixture of things apparently including birthday cake, blueberry muffins, cola, butterscotch, and vanilla. The soap is vegan and made using oils that smell like stuff. Of course, those oils come from a unicorn’s butt.

The soap also has copious amounts of glitter inside. That sounds a lot like my daughter, apparently nine-year-old girls excrete glitter since she leaves a pile of it everywhere she sits. Unicorn Poop Soap is available now for $11.99(USD).

Each bar – or rather, slab – of bacon soap looks good enough to eat. It’s dyed and shaped to resemble actual bacon, but you’ll be pleased to hear that no actual bacon was used in making it. The soap is loaded with natural, vegan ingredients including coconut oil, avocado oil, and castor oil, leaving you with smooth skin after you rinse off the aromatic lather.

Alien Queen Mother and Babies Soap: In Space No One Can Hear You Get Clean

I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t take a bath with the Alien queen or her babies. But if you do encounter their nasty saliva and get all grimy from fighting them, you need to clean up once it is all over. Might as well get squeaky clean with some soap shaped like H.R. Giger’s Aliens.

This creepy set of four Alien soaps comes from Etsy seller TheHalloweenQueen in a variety of scents, and includes two queens and two babies. Aren’t they adorable? Well, they are until you drop one in your suds and can’t find it again. Then it attacks you underwater and lays eggs in your skin or just bites your butt.

If you’re willing to risk it, this set is very affordable at just $4(USD).
