Big Head Squirrel Feeder — "Humiliate and feed squirrels at the same time"

From the website:

.............................

If you get a Big Head Squirrel Feeder, you'll be able to simultaneously nourish and shame the squirrel population.

Hang the hollow vinyl feeder in front of a window or near a porch, fill it with something squirrels find delicious, and try to contain your excitement.

When a squirrel sticks his head in for a snack, he'll look like he has a comically-oversized head and a goofy bucktoothed smile.

Perfect for birdwatchers, nature lovers, or anyone who thinks squirrels could use a lesson in humility.

Feeder has holes in the ears for hanging with string (not included).

$15.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY MUG

From the website:

................................

What’s the best thing to do in an emergency?

Have a nice cup of tea and think about it that’s what — it's the British way, after all.

Our mug helps you overcome all kinds of small emergencies including lost keys, missed meetings, and running out of bread.

It doesn't solve them, mind, just makes you feel a whole lot better.
