J&D's Bacon Croutons

I have ordered several things from J&D's in the past. We've enjoyed both the bacon salt and the baconaise in our house. My husband is a fan of the bacon popcorn and slightly less of a fan of the bacon lip balm. Now we have a new product to try, Bacon Croutons. And you know, that sounds like a pretty good idea to me. I mean, yeah, they'll be nice in a salad, but imagine how good they will taste sprinkled over a lovely clam chowder, or pretty much any kind of soup. I bet they'd also be good in a party mix, with some pretzels and peanuts and cereal. Just a good idea all around. $2.49 a bag from J&D's.

Very cool gift for a Trek fan (Treker, not Trekkie, right?)). $25.99 at Secret Selves.

Bacon Candy

Ah, bacon. It is so popular that there are now different KINDS of bacon candy available. Not just the boring old chocolate covered bacon, this is a hard candy with a bit of a difference. Now, I am not the biggest bacon fan, and I have tried a lot of different bacon candies, but this one...looks like is might be a little smoother than the others. I make no promises. But, at the very least, you get a cute tin out of it. $8.95 at Gagets and Gear.

I know it's not for everyone, but for some reason, a lot of guys I know seem to love stinky cheese. Now, mind you, I like some semi-stinky cheese, but the super stinky kind? Uh...no. Maybe boys are more used to that locker room smell...Anyway, this hand-stamped cheese spreader is pretty cute and sophisticated enough to make a great host gift with a slab of said stinky cheese.

Cardboard Bowling

 This nifty bowling set caught my eye with it's fun, modern design, which it owes all to...cardboard. Which brings up the point that THIS bowling could be very quiet bowling.

And, it's on sale. Sounds like a lot of quiet fun to me. $19.99 at Urban Outfitters.

Ion Audio IT27 Vertical Vinyl Wall-Mounted Turntable

I will be completely honest and say that I am not sure that this wall mounted record player is a good idea. It looks cool though. And yeah, it might save some table top space.
