Kate Krader (@kkrader on Twitter) is Food & Wine's restaurant editor. When she tells us where to find our culinary heart's desire, we listen up. The gifts you give at Christmas say a lot about you. They can say, I Love You. They can say, I Didn’t Think About You Until the Last Minute Which Is Why I’m Blatantly Regifting This Gift to You. Or they can say, I Think You’re Pretty Weird and This Gift Reflects That. So, be on the lookout for the gifts below. They say a lot. Bacon Wallet. It’s not like bacon is hard to find: you’ve probably already had a bacon doughnut, bacon cupcake and bacon-tini cocktail today. But the folks at Accoutrements seem to have thought long and hard about the last remaining non-bacon frontiers and gone for it. Hence their bacon air freshener, bacon (shaped) adhesive bandages and Mr. Bacon Bendable Action Figure. And, yes, the bacon wallet. Says one satisfied customer on Amazon: “If you’re rakin’ in the bacon, takin’ a bacon wallet is the best move you be makin’.”
Mustache Egg Fryer Mold. If you got that bacon wallet as a gift and felt like something was still missing, voila: A mold that shapes your fried eggs into a handle-bar mustache. As an added bonus for the holidays, it works the same magic on cookie dough. Island Dogs, the group that distributes this inimitable piece, also offers gifts like the Three Wise Men Flask Set (those three wise men being Jack, Johnnie and Jim) and a ring that doubles as a beer can opener. Cricket LickIt Lollipops. Here’s what you need to know about these lollipops. They’re priced at around $60 for a box of 36. They come in blueberry, grape, strawberry and orange. And each one has a real, presumably not live, cricket inside. If you get sick of them, the same company makes scorpion apple suckers. The Grilled Cheesus. Maybe you saw that Glee episode where Finn thinks he sees Jesus’s face in a grilled cheese sandwich. Now that experience is yours to savor (no pun intended) every day. The Grilled Cheesus (a now trademarked name) is an electronic sandwich press that toasts Jesus’s face onto sandwiches. “Your prayers have been answered,” says the press release.

So..my husband came home this week with a copy of "Get in the Kitchen, BIT@HES! Cookbook" Seriously, google it.. the site is kinda funny.. anyway.. he tells me it's part of my Christmas present.. so I flipped through it.. found a recipe called "Eat Me Eggplant", made it for him and served it to him in a doggie bowl on the floor.. how you like them apples, bit@h!?!?

Where can I get the Grilled Cheesus? Is it avail yet? So need it for an xmas gift!
Howsabout a genuine chicken-foot back scratcher?!
I'd rather have a Darth Vader toaster than the Cheesus. The toast be with you. Sorry, couldn't help myself. :)
Excuse me sir, there's a cricket in my lollipop, and I demand a full refund!
Bam
JbJiNgle, I'll take those if you'll take my Cheesus. I like my grilled cheese unillustrated.
No problemo, I don't mind a picture on my grilled cheese, but no way am I eating a cricket even if coated in sugar!
Crickets are much better with a BBQ seasoning...seriously, delicious and full of protein.
Dear Santa,
I'll take one of each please, except the Lickit Lollipops. Thank you.
