I'm really intrigued by these edible shot glasses. They come in two fun kinds: candy cane and mint chocolate. After you shoot the liquor of your choice, you can munch on the shot glass itself! They also add a kick of flavor to anything you put in them. I think they'll make a fabulous hostess gift and am super curious to try them out. What do you think?
Sometimes the day after Christmas can be such a letdown. After all the hype, it's a little sad to think that you have to wait another 365 days before you can go crazy making cookies in the kitchen or silly spending money shopping.
