The Bag of Coal Soap Makes it Intimidating to Clean Your Hands

For the naughty or nice, it's fun to play a little trick on them with the Bag of Coal soap.
Coal isn't just for Frosty's eyes. Available in the muslin pouch are four pieces of hand cut soap, each realistically made to resemble actual lumps. Though some may be skeptical to use it at first due to its charcoal color, many reviewers have commented that this is one of the best soaps they've ever used. Complete with a holiday theme, the bag allows individuals to check off "Naughty" or "Nice" if they decide to give this as a Christmas gift. Etsy user Besem Natural Scents created two soft aromatic fragrances for her Bag of Coal soaps: lavender and sweet anisette, which smells like licorice.
