Few people will admit it but I'm sure most everyone has a pair of shoes, a gym bag, or a drawer somewhere at home that could use these deodorizers. What I really love about these are that they actually remove odors rather than just masking them thanks to 100% activated bamboo charcoal. Pair this with, oh, I don't know, how about an Original Bag of Poo and you've got yourself an awesome gag gift suited for a sibling.

I've already bought three of these to have on-hand as stocking stuffers and you should too.
