2. Presidential Power Minerals Bath Salt: Do you need a break from all the election talk you’ve been experiencing the last year and a half? I know I do. A great way to do that is to get this official White House product mineral bath salt and indulge. Just do it after you’ve voted!

3. Presidential Power Hand & Body Wash: I know some of the Beauty Brains are happy to see the White House get cleaned. No matter who wins today, you can clean up with this substantial hand and body wash.

4. Republican Elephant Handmade Glycerin Bar Soap: For the red-leaning love in your life. Forget the nonsense about Republicans being dirty. This soap proves that politics can still be clean.

5. Presidential Shave Kit: It’s a shame that there won’t be a woman heading the White House this time. If the Republicans win today, we’ll be close but she won’t be in charge. I can’t wait for the day when there will be more than just a presidential men’s shaving kit. A woman has to get in there one day, right?
