Whatever the occasion, there’s a pun for that.
Greet ‘N’ Potatoes (note the brilliant name) is a Brooklyn based greeting cards company created by Merrily Grashin, an illustrator obsessed with food themed puns (H/T Buzzfeed).
And we’re obsessed with her, because her cards are truly brilliant.
Each greeting card has the perfect food or drink related pun for whatever sentiment you could think of – apart from the really serious stuff, which is probably not the time for delicious wordplay.
Anyone with a pet knows the urge. The one you can’t refuse. The urge to buy ridiculous tiny outfits for your cat or dog, put it on them despite their protests, and the laugh/coo over how adorable they are.
Despite the expense, most crazy cat and dog people have already run through the traditional costume options. Bees, Father Christmas, hot dogs.
But what about a table?
Unihabitat – the same people behind the onesie with a special pocket for your cat – also sells a blanket/coat thing that makes your cat or dog look like a little table.
Everyone knows the song The 12 Days Of Christmas but how realistic is it?
We may all love five gold rings but we’re more likely to get a five-day hangover.
In reality Christmas makes us broke and fat, so here is what actually happens on the 12 days of Christmas.
Day 1 – Christmas Day
Excitement overload! The day we have all been counting down to has arrived.
It’s time to stuff the turkey, rip open those presents and eat and drink as much as we can.
Day 2 –… Read the full story
Rule #34 of the internet says that if you can think of it, someone has almost certainly already made a dirty movie out of it.
Going by this list of unusual fetishes, there are some REALLY strange films out there.
Sploshing
Aka Wet and Messy (WAM).
Women (it’s almost always women) sit in gunk tanks and/or roll around in paddling pools filled with baked beans.
Gloopy.

This is Mort, my smooth-coat chihuahua.
I’ve had many dogs over the years, but never a tiny one.
These are some of the things I rapidly learned (and have had confirmed by other chihuahua owners).
It’s like having a tiny, needy baby
Chihuahuas like nothing better than to clamber up you to demand cuddles and baby talk.
Sometimes I waltz around my bedroom with Mort in my arms, singing into his furry face and breaking only to kiss his teeny nose.
Other days my patience wears slightly thin.
Ninja poop
Mort happily goes outside to the toilet first thing, then 10 minutes later he’ll run up two… Read the full story
So we’ve stumbled into the no-man’s land of sofa naps, muddy walks and 80s film binge-watching between Christmas and New Year.
Naturally this is also the time to get well and truly into the magnificent cheeseboard Mum bought before Christmas but you weren’t allowed to touch, despite the fact no one had room for the smallest slither of Brie on December 25.
But wait.
Before you go cramming that crumbly Stilton into your gob you might want to know how to do things properly.
Because apparently certain cheeses go better with certain biscuits in that bumper box than others.
Cheese and wine expert Matt Day has come… Read the full story

Whether you’re planning a New Year’s Eve engagement or a big night out, London is the place to be on New Year’s Eve.
You can conquer the sales, watch the fireworks, head out to a party then, if you’re not too hungover, catch the New Year’s Day Parade.
And, if you’re thinking of heading to the big smoke, you’re going to need a base, whether it’s five-star or none.
Here’s 5 London hotels to stay in over New Year’s from budget to bling.
A couple with a combined age of 187, who’ve been ‘living in sin’ for 10 years, have finally decided make things official.
Bill Griffiths, 91, proposed to Flo Marshallsay, 96, earlier this month at their home in Oldbury, West Midlands, over a cup of tea.
Flo said yes and the couple are now getting ready to marry in front of friends and family – they have five children, 14 grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren between them – at St Hilda’s Parish Church on January 16.
‘Bill looked at me and said “Flo, will you marry me?”‘ said Flo, who… Read the full story
This is possibly one of the most thoughtful Christmas gifts of the year – and it’s definitely the most heartwarming reaction.
Anthony Morse, from Lamar, Colorado, shared a short clip of his dad opening his present from the family on Christmas Day and it’s now been retweeted more than 94,000 times and liked over 146,000 times.
Anthony explains: ‘My dad hasn’t seen his mom in 8 years and she doesn’t have much time left so we got him plane tickets to go see her.’
You’re going to wish you’d bought gran some virtual reality glasses for Christmas after watching this.

Anyone else suddenly got a crick in their neck?
A clip of a little boy twisting his body a full 180 degrees so he can hug his dad behind him while still looking at the camera, is freaking everyone out.
Because it’s mesmerising and deeply unnerving at the same time.
He then goes on to repeat the Exorcist-style trick. In slow motion. While smiling.
The video was posted on YouTube by user Sergio Tapia on Boxing Day and has already been viewed over 800,000 times.
Binge watching a show takes special dedication and is not something to be taken lightly.
Welcome to the emotional rollercoaster that is being able to watch a massive serving of a show you become obsessed with in a relatively short period of time.
You can wave goodbye to sleep, sanity, friends and patience, because you want it all and there is nothing that you wouldn’t consider sacrificing just to watch one more episode.
Sound familiar? Yep, we thought so.
You can promise yourself all you like that you will take it slow.
But why bother lying?
We all know you’re going to dive in head first and not come up for air until you’ve watched every single episode.
Wave goodbye to it, because it’s not coming around until 4am.
You probably get more excited about binge watching a new show than you would for your own wedding day.
Your rituals include selecting… Read the full story
A cool new London bar is here to cure Christmas hangovers.
Before Christmas you might have wondered, ‘what sort of person would visit this place?’ Now though, three boxes of Celebrations and a few turkey dinners in and that spirulina ain’t looking so bad, huh?
If you are one of the many (read: all) who have y’know, maybe overindulged just a bit over the past few days, but you feel it’s time to venture out of your mince pie-infused hovel, Redemption is here.
Redemption is an all-vegan, booze-free drinking spot that says its detoxifying methods will tackle festive headaches with one swift Beet-O-Tini.

2015 may just go down as the cutest year on record.
Remember Pumpkin the rescue raccoon who thought she was a dog? How about Tonka the depressed wombat who found comfort in his stuffed wombat toy? Don’t tell us you’ve forgotten the short-legged corgi and his unique way of getting down stairs.
We give you 15 animals that prove 2015 was a very, very cute year.

Everyone has a friend who’s Christmas AF. The one who has been rocking the Christmas jumper, socks, earrings and hat since November.
Or maybe it’s you, Whatever, power to you. It’s fun to be festive.
But no one is having as much festive fun as this woman, who is literally dressed up as a Christmas song.
She is Christmas AF and she just doesn’t care.
Neither does her dog, who looks so casual we are guessing he has seen it all before.
A very high percentage of people in the UK wear glasses, however that doesn’t mean we need to be reminded of it frequently.
Here are some things that we really don’t want to hear anymore:
1. Can I try them on?
No. No you can’t, because if you try them on how will I be able to see. I won’t be able to tell you whether they suit you or not, or whether you should get some fake ones and no I can’t tell you how many fingers you are holding up…
2. Wow – you are blind!
No I’m not – I’m technically visually impaired. We are lucky enough to… Read the full story

As the video shows, it’s a password designed to cause mass confusion and irritation.

Which is great for people looking for free WiFi hotspots.
People are now leaving their own suggestions for world’s worst passwords underneath the video.

Christmas food is amazing and, if you’re anything like us, you’ll have eaten bucket loads of it over the last few days.
What’s not so amazing is the button on your jeans popping open every time you bend over.
You might be tempted to join an expensive gym around about now, one that you’ll only visit three times, but will still be paying for over the next 12 months.
Instead of kidding yourself that you’ll keep your New Year’s resolution and go to the gym three times a week while wasting a tonne of money, you could try these exercise videos instead.
