Snow Globe Soap: An Awesome Christmas Stocking Stuffer

Christmas is right around the corner, it will be here before you know it, so why not start with some little stocking stuffer gifts to give to friends, family and your co workers?

I usually start my Christmas shopping early, and this year I began in mid-August. I wanted to buy my co workers gifts in bulk for the cheapest amount of money I could find, and when I came across Snow Globe Soap at my local Claire's accessory store I knew they were the perfect gifts to place on their desk. The snow globe soap is pretty unique, the soap itself is glycerine with a figurine placed inside of the globe. The figurine is surrounded by water and when you give it a shake glitter will float through the water.

I had the option to choose a frog globe, duckie globe, reindeer, penguin, snowman or Santa Clause globe. Seeing how the frog and the duck were not very Christmas like I went with assortments of the reindeer, Santa, snowman and penguin.

I learned later on the snow globe soap only looks like there is actual water inside of it, when the soap melts you will find that the glycerine soap only created the illusion of water being in the soap. In reality it is a sealed ball with water in it, and it is much smaller than the soap globe makes it look.

The snow globe soap comes wrapped up in a small plastic box with red ribbon around it, the globe itself is is wrapped in a thin layer of plastic with a sticker at the bottom that holds the wrapping on.

I bought about 10 of them for only $1.99 each in the store. I placed them away in boxes and planned on keeping them there until Christmas time. However recently while packing up some things, I realized that the box that had the snow globe soap in it was wet looking. It turned out that one of the soaps melted, or got banged up and caused the inside to explode.
