If you or your kid is having a Star Wars-themed party, check out these cool R2-D2 cupcake wrappers and toppers. They are nicely detailed and will make any cupcake look like our favorite little droid.

These are the droids your stomach was looking for. You just bake your cupcakes in these wrappers and slap on the fondant domes. Instant edible R2 army.

You can get a dozen wrappers and toppers from Etsy seller Devany for $50(USD). They’re not cheap, but droid maintenance costs are on the rise these days. I don’t know about you, but I must have these. With a large glass of blue milk.

‘Liberation’ Wrapper Lets Japanese Women Eat Burgers While Looking Demure

Posted on by

A lot of people I know tend to avoid eating two things in public: chicken and burgers. Chicken, because it’s harder to eat without using your hands (and the smell lingers on your fingers when you do) and burgers, because you can look quite unsightly when you open wide to take a bite.

For the former, there’s finger tongs (or trongs). For the latter, there’s the Liberation wrapper to hide you behind a demure facade while you stuff your face.

The burger wrapper was debuted by Japanese burger chain Freshness Burger. Printed on the outside side of the wrapper is a half-face of a smiling woman, which is meant to cover the diner’s actual half-face while she eats.

The wrapper essentially masks the person’s face from the front view, although I don’t think anything can be done for the side view at this point. After switching their wrappers to this, Freshness Burger reported a 213% increase among women who ordered their burgers.

I wonder if they’ll make a male version of the Liberation Wrapper for the men who do care about how they look when they eat.

Meat Gift Wrap: Give the Gift of Unedible Meat

Meat Wrapping Paper

Just imagine the look on people’s faces when you hand them a huge, chunk of meat packed in styro and cellophane. They’ll say the obligatory “thank you’s” but it’ll take them a while to process the fact that you just gave them the present of raw meat. Of course, they’ll eventually figure it out and everyone will have a few laughs. On a side note, you can see the true measure of your friendship with them during those critical moments: will they scoff at your gift, or will they accept it wholeheartedly?

Kidding aside, this Meat Gift Wrap by Gift Couture takes novelty wrappers to the next level. The steak wrapping paper transforms any present into something that resembles class A meat. It also comes with a bunch of extras, like cutting board paper and meat trays to give it a more authentic, straight-from-the-butcher look.

It’s currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where $15 will get you a standard set which includes two sheets of steak paper and a sheet of cutting board paper. For $5 more, you can upgrade to the Grade A set, where you’ll get the standard set plus a sheet of white butcher paper, twine, a meat tray, and two gift labels.

I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas: ecoChici Reusable Fabric Gift Wrap

Posted on by

ecoChici

Every year, hundreds of millions of presents are packaged in giftwrap or presented in exquisite gift bags to the recipients. And each year, the world’s landfills just keep getting fuller and fuller.

While the ecoChici Reusable Fabric Gift Wrap is, by far, not the solution of all solutions to get rid of all this seasonal waste, it presents a fun and quirky alternative. ecoChici was thought up by graphic designer Amy Lewis, and she was able to come up with the reusable fabric gift wrap kits with the help of her husband.

ecoChici

The ecoChici gift wrap is available in three sizes and comes in a variety of designs. Each wrap is hand-printed in Australia and comes packaged with two ribbon clips. Wrapping gifts using the ecoChici might be confusing at first, but no worries, because each kit comes with instructions on how you’re supposed to use it.

Go green this Christmas with ecoChici. You can get them online for about $23. A Christmas Family Pack is available for $165.
