Pin Bombs: Taking a Bath With Sherlock Holmes
There is nothing like a bath. Let’s just be clear. As a Sherlock Holmes fan, I can also confidently say that there is nothing like a bath with Sherlock Holmes.
So how can you take a nice relaxing soak with the one and only consulting detective? Well, you’ll need a few supplies first: a bath tub, a Blue Carbuncle bath bomb, and a little enamel Holmes of your own.
Introducing Pin Bomb!
Comic book writers and media hosts Jason Inman and Ashley Victoria Robinson have launched PIN BOMB, a collectible nerd bathing luxury. Pin Bomb pairs vegan, all-natural handmade bath bombs with the collector mentality. Each Pin Bomb will be topped with an exclusive enamel pin!
The first year will see the release of new bath bombs bi-monthly celebrating all things Sherlock Holmes. The very first Pin Bomb features the World’s Only Consulting Detective, himself, and the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle short story The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle. The accompanying bath bomb is blue, like the Carbuncle, and features an exclusive enamel pin designed by Jason Inman.
We were lucky enough to get a pin bomb before the launch earlier this month, and let me tell you, it was LOVELY. The bomb dissolves very nicely and immediately transforms your water into something special. Also the scent really comes through without being overpowering.
Every bath bomb is handmade and uses all natural vegan ingredients, so you’re not bathing yourself in anything Moriarty has concocted.
The bomb itself smells delightfully fresh and comforting with scents of apple, orange peels, clove, and cinnamon. And let me tell you, it makes the water silky. You’ll feel nice and comforted and rich in luxury, even though this is a bath bomb and not a giant sapphire, but who cares. BATHS!
Also your bath water will turn a bit anime.
The Blue Carbuncle pin bomb is available on Etsy at www.pinbomb.com for $17.99 and includes the bath bomb and enamel pin. But wait!
Make sure you use the code above, BAKERSTREETBABES, and get 10% off your order. Because everyone deserves a bath with Sherlock Holmes. But move quickly because only 50 of these exist and then they’re G O N E. So make like Watson seeing a mustache wax sale and head on over to pinbomb.com and grab your carbuncle!
Huge thanks to Pin Bomb for sending us one of these!
