Shoppist’s 25 Gifts of Christmas: Day 20

Now that the holidays are officially upon us, we here at Shoppist are in full gifting mode. Each day this month, we’ll unveil our 25 top gifts to buy in Philly this season. (Trust us: We’ve shopped everywhere to bring you the best of the best.)

For about a decade, Bath & Body Works took over the gift-giving world, especially when it came to stocking stuffers. Now, the bath gifts have grown up, and gotten way cooler in the process. Instead of Juniper Breeze shower gel, wrap up bars of Duross & Langel’s handcrafted soaps, which not only come in gorgeous colors, but amazing scents like peppermint oatmeal, chocolate cherry, buttercream and pumpkin oat. To really get festive, spring for the gingerbread men bars, which might even get kids to start loving bath time.

The Details: Handcrafted soaps, $7.50 each at Duross & Langel, Midtown Village.

Give To: Everyone! These are winning stocking stuffers.
