    IT’SUGAR Seriously Sweet Holiday Gifts

    With the holiday season quickly approaching the pressure is on to find the perfect gift for all of the special people in your life. IT’SUGAR, the sweet experiential candy retailer, knows that absolutely nobody regifts candy and is here to help with some hilarious holiday offerings.

    For me, I love this cookies & candies idea, since all the people won’e reject a super cute holiday cookie. When I gave IT’SUGAR’s chocolate to my friends, all I felt from them was they were so happy to get this sweetness.

    With highlights, including the Happy Whatever Doesn’t Offend You Chocolate Bar, Magical Reindeer Poop (strangely tastes exactly like chocolate covered cookie dough), Santa’s Sack, Yellow Snow Balls, A Little Head Gingerbread Man, Totally Baked Gingerbread Man, and the Happy Poo Year Chocolate Bar among many others – there is no doubt there’s a sweet find for everyone from your family and friends, your significant other, that office Secret Santa and even for that inevitably always-drunken Uncle.

    Here are some ideas for your family and friends.

    COCOA MIX & MARSHMALLOW CUP
    $7.99
    You know what they say! When the goin’ gets chilly, the chilly get cocoa (…or something). And nothing will warm you up quite like this adorable cup of cocoa mix with mini marshmallows. Complete with a mixing spoon and sweet snowman graphic, this cocoa kit makes the perfect holiday stocking stuffer.
    UGLY SWEATER GINGERBREAD MAN
    $9.99
    Many fear them. Some love them. But come holiday season, no one can escape them. We’re talking about ugly sweaters, of course! This year, even our tasty gingerbread man got one of his own and it’s made of delicious red and green icing.
    HAPPY POO YEAR CHOCOLATE BAR
    $3.99
    New year, new s#!*. This Premium Dark Chocolate Bar cuts the crap and promises a very happy “poo” year.
    MAGICAL REINDEER POOP
    $8.99
    Weird fact: magical reindeer poop looks, smells, and tastes exactly like chocolate covered cookie dough! Okay. So maybe magical reindeer poop is chocolate covered cookie dough, but that doesn’t make it any less tasty (or hilarious).

    ELLOW SNOW BALLS
    $8.99
    Urine for a treat with our silly box of lemon sour balls! Don’t forget, this is the ONLY time it’s okay to eat the yellow snow.

    This cherry gummy bear is a full 2 LBS! That’s big. Like really big. Like as-big-as-your-head big. Perfect for sharing, but we won’t tell if you keep it all to yourself. 2 LBS.
    TOUCH MY ELF CHOCOLATE BAR

    $9.99
    Biggest. Candy Cane. EVER! This ultimate Christmas-time treat weights over a pound
    and measures in at a foot and a half tall. Now all you need to do is find a big enough mug of hot cocoa to go with it…
    WHATEVER DOESN’T OFFEND
    YOU CHOCOLATE BAR
    $3.99
    Is this politically correct enough? Our premium milk chocolate bar makes a perfect gift for the person on your list that will try to find something offensive about this.

    Following directions has never been so easy! This sweet and silly premium milk chocolate bar makes the perfect finishing touch to a gift basket or holiday stocking.
    SECRET SANTA CHOCOLATE BAR

Presenting: a jumbo crispy milk chocolate bar for someone you don’t know that well but have to buy a gift for because Janice in HR had the brilliant idea to do Secret Santa at the office this year. This one’s for you, Janice.

    Woo with Bamboo @Gaiam dog bowls

    Pocky can’t wait to dig into tonight’s pre-dinner snack, served in her new green bamboo dog bowl by Gaiam.  But she knows the drill- first tricks, then treats.  “Sit!”  “Paw!”  “Lay down!”  “Roll over!”  “Good girl!”  OK, now for the toughest trick of all…

    "Stay, Pocky! Stay!"
    “Stay, Pocky! Stay!”

    The temptation to chow down is killing her.  What’s worse is that Momo can’t read- it clearly says “DOG” on the bowl.

    Momo wants in on the bamboo action too!

    After patiently waiting, the time has come.  “Go ahead and eat, Pocky.  You’ve earned it!”

    eatbowl

    Pocky’s bowl is by Gaiam, the creators of pet & earth-friendly pet products.  This one was made from recycled bamboo fiber and rice husk.  It’s lead and cadmium free, FDA approved, SGS certified and made in the good ol’ US of A.   It’s big enough to fit 24 oz of goodness for your pup.
