ABC* Cookie Cutters - Gingerbread Men


*Already Been Chewed!

The Perpetual Kid's cookies are so delicious that all he's ever left with are crumbs, so he devised this devious ploy. Just bake them with bite marks built-in and watch your friends leave them behind on the tray. It's famous ABC (Already Been Chewed) Cookie Cutters!

They're made to the highest culinary standards from luxurious cast aluminum so there are no seams or sharp edges and they're easy to clean. Displayed in nifty clear display boxes - great gifts.

Gingerbread Men set include 3 designs - one missing a head, one missing a leg, and one missing an arm. These poor poor Gingerbread Men! Their loss is your gain.

Money Frog


With a face only a mother could love, this little character is believed in some Feng Shui sects to pack a real wallop when it comes to prosperity and good luck. Almost always seen chomping down on a Chinese coin, he symbolizes not only good fortune that can come in all sorts of forms, but also protection from bad luck. Businesses typically place him near the cash register or where business is normally transacted. At home, he's usually found in one of the corners near the main door and enhances the chi of the household.
