A few years back I was hosting a party and had a large basket of prizes for the games.  Each time a child got to choose a prize they went for the teddy bear soap.  I was a little baffled as to why they would want the soap.  The basket also included candy, toys and Hamtaro DVD’s.  What child doesn’t love Hamtaro?!  For the life of me I couldn’t figure out why they wanted the soap until I started cleaning up.  Low and behold I discovered one of the soaps with a giant bite taken out of it.  The kids thought it was chocolate!  Moral of the story: if you’re going to have one of these popsicle soaps in the bathroom, you might want to post a DO NOT EAT sign.  Just saying.

Available for purchase at Soapylove for $8.00 each.

Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions,  sesame seed bun on a couch.  Hmm, just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Hands down, these are the most creative note pads I’ve ever seen.  That being said, they’re also the most expensive note pads I’ve ever seen.

Not that it would ever happen or would even be practical but I’d love to see one of these installed in an ATM.  Can you imagine having a cat take your checks or give you money?  How awesome would that be?

There’s a new paper craft out of Rilakkuma (relax bear) and his friends.  You may remember a couple of months back I shared about the “Bonjour” paper craft.  As before, they’re all free to download at the Lazy Bear blog.  However, I’m sorry to say there’s no cowbell or Will Ferrell pattern.

Well I guess we’ve got a bit of a theme going on today, bread with happy faces.  I would like to say I planned this but it just kind of happened.  Kismet.

Available at Plasticland for $30.00.

It looks like bread, smells like bread, feels like bread so it must not be bread?  Turns out these bread rolls are stress balls only much cuter than the ones you get at conventions.  And yes, they actually make them to smell like bread which may I add is so wrong.  Just looking at them makes me want to run to the bakery.

Available for purchase at Breadou for $9.50 each.

Are any of you purchasing the new iPhone?  Some of my family already got theirs.  I was able to test it out and I have to say the video call feature is awesome!  I must have one now, darn you Apple.

I think there’s a typo on the Kinder Kaboodle site for this bag’s description:

“drawstring Kinder Bag is perfect for your little girl”

Little girl?  Well that can’t possibly be right.  Surely this is for older girls since I want one.

Available for purchase at Kinder Kaboodle for $39.95.
