Willa Wonka Would Be Proud. For the Augustus Gloop In Your Life

This gigantic gummy bear, brought to you by Vat19, is sure to delight any fan of Willa Wonka, food, and/or laughing. It weighs half a pound (like a small delicious baby) and is 4 inches tall, not including the handy dandy stick that makes it easy to devour.

Christmas might be over, but this gummy bear is the best kind of birthday gift-- funny and delicious. Pineapple flavor would be my preference. Yes, I'm that girl that eats all the white gummy bears from the candy dish. Astro is an amazing idea: two bites of cherry until you work your way to green apple, definitely for the adventurist types.

Buy a ton to fill up your favorite peacock candy dish. Ha ha!

The Best Kind of Peacocking...Lollipop Peacock Holder

This Jonathan Adler Lollipop Peacock Holder is fashionable and delectable. Not only is it a social centerpiece, but it is creative as well. Finally, you can decorate your own peacock with a range of colors.

The price tag of $98 is pretty steep, but it is the most interesting candy dish I have seen in awhile. This is a great gift for those looking to add modern art into their home.

Plus, why stop at lollipops? I would put corndogs, kabobs, cigarettes, and anything else that comes on a stick in this peacock. It would definitely be the unhealthiest peacock on the block.

Darth Vader Would Have Flipped...Darth Vader Spatula!

And I thought Williams-Sonoma was a serious brand! This geekery is laughable. Debatable if Darth Vader would actually like this product- on one side, it is an honor; on another, you flip pancakes on his face. Either way, the Star Wars fanatic in your life will love it.

They really should come out with a set- Chewbacca Spatula, C3PO Balloon Whisk, R2D2 Ladle, & Yoda Pie Cake Server. It could be a hit! I would be the first in line to buy it for my dad...not me, of course. My favorite characters are the Ewoks anyhow. Stop judging. It could be worse, three words: Jar Jar Binks.

How to Ace Every Test...Use Flavorful Scented Pens!

Not only is this a treat for the person using the pen, but for his or her teacher and fellow classmates. Instead of the smell of BO filling the intense test taking room (most students don't shower before taking an exam. You know who you are), there will be Sugar Plum, Cinnamon, Gingerbread, and Candy Cane dancing in the noses of every test taker. 

Purchase these Holiday scented pens for teachers, writers, or as stocking stuffers.

You can't go wrong with something that smells amazing.

The Selfish Gift...Baking Kits!

Whether it is whoopie pies, doughnuts, or even the traditional cupcakes, Sur La Table offers some incredible baking kits for that passionate baker you know that keeps you fat and happy. Everyone has a friend or family member that always has something brewing in the oven that creates a delicious waft in the house that cancels out any disgusting pet odors.

In honesty, this is a bit of a selfish gift- he or she bakes, and you eat. It doesn't get any better than this. To add a twist, make a date of it. You give it, you bake it, and the giftee eats it. This is especially cute in regards to couples.

Word of caution, give this gift to your giftee when you two are alone; otherwise, you will have family you didn't even know come out of the woodwork begging for a taste.

Cupcake Candles, No Calories Included



Even the Cupcake Candle Packaging is Cute!

 Whether it is to celebrate the holidays or a birthday of a very loved one, these cupcake candles are sure to delight anyone and everyone. Etsy user, DanielleMarieRose, creates polished, deliciously-looking, and scrumptiously-smelling cupcake candles. I've already ordered four so far, one for the grandmother who has everything and three for myself (hey, being selfish takes years of practice) to decorate a vintage three tier stand my mom gave me.

These cupcake candles are adorable enough to make any grandmother, hostess, friend, and/or mother smile.

Quick tip: Danielle makes them in different colors, scents, and adds personalized packaging. Just ask, she is very accommodating.

Plus, what is great about giving candles is that nobody can ever have enough candles, and the gift eventually burns to completion. No more knickknack gifts sitting around to gather dust.

Just remember to inform the gift givee that the cupcake is in no way edible. Well, you could eat it but is wouldn't taste anything like a Sprinkles cupcake. Yum.
