There is something festive about a colorful paper straw. Just like a special party, the magic can never be repeated. As the good times fade, the paper straw deteriorates and then its back to the daily grind. And boring old everyday plastic straws. Unless of course you have a box on hand. Say of 144 count.

These Kikkerland Red And White Striped Biodegradable Paper Straws happen to come in a box of 144 and guarantee weeks of good times. (Well, as far as a straw can guarantee good times.) And not to worry about everyday straw use for those less-than-festive occasions: these paper straws also come in drab, boring old gray.

It wasn’t too long ago that dinosaurs were all the rage with the kids. Well, those kids grew up and moved on from mac and cheese to more grown-up tastes. That includes ditching the juice-filled sippy-cups for more sophisticated beverages. Like tea. But that doesn’t mean the fun has to be left behind.

The Tea Rex Tea Infuser gives those who don’t want to grow up just yet something to hang on to. The little dinosaur is made to hold loose-leaf tea and includes a chain for easy tea steeping. Fill with your favorite tea leaves, hang it off the side of your teacup and transport yourself to the past.

Using Rice Krispies Treats as the rice and candy and Peeps as the fish, the familiar shapes of sushi can be represented as sweet-to-eat treats. You’ll never look at Mike and Ikes or Hot Tamales the same way again. Peeps however, always did seem to have a fishy existence, so using them as sushi somehow seems appropriate.
