The Breaking Bad Gingerbread House

Let's cook. No, not meth. Just gingerbread, but then let's go ahead and frost it and cover it with blue rock candy so it looks like it has two drug dealers and their product. 

Walt and Jesse look pretty adorable in this ginerbread house by Sugar Plum Cake Shop, but I love the DEA snowman the most (and the cotton candy fumes from the motorhome). He's so adorably unthreatening. While this cake was almost certainly made to be a promotion for the company, there's nothing wrong with that when it's this delightfully sweet.


The Crystal Advent Calendar

Everyone loves an advent calendar, but if you're looking for something a little less Christmas-y and a little more science-y, this crystal advent calendar is a great option. They even fit together to look like a real crystal grouping.

Mr. Printables is has the instructions to make your own, and the downloadable copy to print them out. The only downside is that they are a little small, so it's kind of hard to fit some larger presents into the boxes -but they're still big enough for small candies, which is all that's in many commercial advent calendars anyway.


Talk About A Bunch of Sheep

Harlow the weimaraner and Indi the dachshund may look like an odd coupling, but Harlow has been famous on the internet for years for being best friends with another wiener dog, Sage. Unfortunately, Sage, who was 13, recently passed away, leaving Harlow without a best friend.

But Harlow isn't all alone. While working through her grief, she has become fast friends with Sage's younger sister, Indi and the pair is now just as inseperable as they are adorable. You can keep up on their adventures on the Harlow and Sage Instagram.

Say Hello to Bun Bun

(Video Link)

Try turning on this video and listening to the sound before you actually look at the screen. You'll be amazed at what cute little critter is making this noise.

Little Bun Bun is simply the cutest thing on four legs, whether he's meowing like a weirdo, crawling around on his side or just mugging at the camera. It's hard to look away from this squishy faced little cutie pie.

50 States of LEGO

If you could make one scene to show what your state is best known for, what would it be? As a Californian, I certainly wouldn't depict my state as filled with hippies, but I know it really is known for that. So I won't be too hard on Canadian photographer Jeff Friesen for depicting my state as a land of hippies.

In fact, considering he's not even from this country, he did a pretty decent job summing up each state in only one image. I'm sure most of you can guess that the one up top is New Mexico and this one is Pennsylvania (specifically Philadelphia). How do you think he did on your state?

Cozy and Stylish You Are If Wear This Hoodie You Do

Feel like a Jedi master with a slight speech disorder? Then you'll love this great Yoda hoodie made by fan of the blog, Erin Marshall. These adorable hoodies are handmade, one-of-a-kind creations that are sure to keep you not only warm, but also stylish.

Of course, if you prefer Hogwarts over Hoth, she has you covered there as well with this great Dobby the Elf-inspired hoodie that can remind the world that you are a free elf with style. Just make sure to wear mismatched socks if you really want to sell the whole look.


Tastes Like Success: The Beef Jerky Business Cards

Why give someone an ordinary old paper business card when you can give them a beef jerky one? Sure most people won't want to hold beef jerky in their wallet and even fewer people will find it useful as actual food, but it sure sends an interesting message -one that says "I really wish you'd eat my contact information rather than actually using it to contact me."

Of course, it's important to remember Meat Cards are only edible for up to one year, so if you haven't given them all out about 11 months after you ordered them, you probably better enjoy a delicious feast of business cards.

A Cat's Guide to Caring for Their Humans

(Video Link)

This might be an ad, but when an ad is as clever and funny as this one Ze Frank created for Tidy Cats LightWeight litter.

Since humans are good at opening canned goods and cleaning kitty litter, they need to be well taken care of by their kitties, but despite the handful of abilities that humans have, they really can't care for themselves very well. Fortunately, cats are there to help keep humans warm, mentally stimulated and to remind them the importance of tongues.

The Honest Trailer For Home Alone

(Video Link)

Let's be honest, those of us who were youngsters when Home Alone came out thought it was pretty awesome, but once you see it as an adult, you realize it isn't just cheesy, but pretty terrible all around. Of course, if you haven't seen it recently, you might not realize just how terrible it is until this Honest Trailer reminds you that it's about a little sociopath with a horrible family who decides he needs to torture to non-violent criminals who are inexplicably obsessed with breaking in to one specific home -all of which makes for one delightfully bad movie and a great Honest Trailer

Lord of the Cake Pops

I'll be honest, I was a little hesitant to write about these Lord of the Rings cake pops at first because I'm a little over the whole cake pop thing. That is, until I saw that the bakers, Let Them Eat Cake Pops, made this amazing Bormir meme of their own pop. It is hard not to laugh at something this delightfully silly, even if you want to eat it at the same time.

All of these fantastic cake pops do look super realistic though, as do their wonderful Walking Dead pops that feature not only the living characters but also a few walkers.

Pumpkin Tres Leches Cake

Did you buy a little more pumpkin than you needed this Thanksgiving? Then try using it for something else -like this delicious pumpkin tres leches cake from Willow Bird Baking. For those unfamiliar with tres leches cake, it's translated into "three milks cake," meaning it's soaked in condensed milk, evaporated milk and heavy cream, making it rich, gooey and delicious. Now, just imagine adding pumpkin and a whipped icing into the mix and you can imagine just how heavenly this cake just might be -sort of like a pumpkin pie a la mode.


Happy Dogukkah Everyone

Now that Thanksgivukkah is over, it's time to enjoy Hanukkah on its own. While not everyone celebrate the holiday due to their religious beliefs, pretty much everyone can appreciate these adorable pooches in complete celebratory spirits.

By the way, if you want to help your pooch celebrate the holiday, we offer great Hanukkah dog toys in the NeatoShop. We also offer quite a few great Hanukkah goodies for humans as well.

Wil Wheaton As Everyone

We've already seen what happens when Nic Cage becomes everyone. But while we know that he has been in some terrible movies (whether or not you agree he is a terrible actor), it's way more exciting to see a geek actor we all love as just about everyone.

That's why it so fun to enjoy the new Wheaton meme that features Wil Weaton in all kinds of great movies. Unlike the Nic Cage meme, this one actually started out by Wil, who Tweeted a picture of himself in front of a green screen -motivating his fans to photoshop him into all kinds of fantastic situations.

152 Artists Try Their Hand At Drawing Pokemon

What happens when 152 Brazilian artists get together to draw famous Pokemon? Pure magic apparently. 2Minds Studio was inspired by seeing a worldwide Pokemon project organized by Justin Chan and was inspired to do their own Pokedex that involved only artists native to their country of Brazil. 

Even if you aren't a fan of Pokemon, you can still appreciate the fun artworks like this adorable Squirtle design by Danilo Fiocco.

Or this Clefairy piece by Patricia Versiani Cintra. Of course, if you haven't seen the original Pokedex that used artists from around the world, be sure to check it out too.
