Soap With Hidden Surprises

"Soap Gifts" Encourage Waste Reduction

As an answer to people throwing away their soap bars before they are completely used, Yoon Kuk Hyun came up with a witty and fun design that motivates consumers to use their soap to the end by including a special gift inside it.

In order to get to the present inside the Soap Gifts, you have to use it up.

I love it. It is a simple and clever way to reduce waste and help the environment. It kind of reminds me of the Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs with the toys inside them.
