The glow-in-the-dark [Space Invaders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stellar-works) mini soap set is an exciting new twist on a classic arcade game. The game had players shooting at little 8-bit aliens scrolling down the screen. However those little aliens are now glow-in-the-dark, germ-killing allies. Each box comes with 12 mini soaps in three different designs, wrapped in a fancy box. The soaps also smell like Mountain Dew. In the vast amount of [gamer merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-pacman-gaming-pixel-light), this video game soap set stands out as having a practical application. It’s something that will be used everyday rather than left on a shelf to collect dust with other collectibles. This Space Invaders soap set is a great gift for the gamer in your life. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Retro Gaming Merchandise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new and practical applications for classic video game themes, like germ-killing soap sets. - **Novelty Bath Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop unique bath products that offer a fun and enjoyable experience, such as glow-in-the-dark soaps with nostalgic designs. - **Multi-purpose Gamer Gifts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine gaming themes with practical everyday items to create unique and useful gifts for gamers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gaming Merchandise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new product categories within the gaming industry, such as hygiene products, to cater to a wider range of consumer needs. - **Personal Care Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce playful and themed personal care products to add excitement and enjoyment to daily self-care routines. - **Gift and Novelty Items:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative and practical gifts that appeal to specific interests, such as video games, for niche markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Game-Themed Soap Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-x-call-of-duty.md) - [Game-Inspired Soap Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gameinspired-soap-collection.md) - [Gamer Body Wash Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irish-spring-nicesmelling-gaming-shower.md) - [Game-Inspired Hygiene Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minecraft-diamond-scrub.md) - [Gamer-Approved Soap Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-x-minecraft.md) - [Branded Gaming Showers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaming-shower.md) - [Nostalgic Superhero-Inspired Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowabunga-cleanse.md) - [Sci-Fi Bath Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-bath-soap.md) - [Fantasy-Inspired Soap Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-1.md)
