Who knew cups of coffee had dreams?
Though it may not have been the artist's intention, the coffee.doughnuts framed tile from Nichols Company Design looks like it features a coffee cup dreaming (or at least thinking) about a pile of doughnuts dripping with pink icing.
The mountable ceramic tile is framed by stained cherry wood and is available now for $13.49.
Gee, I wonder why Donutman looks so sinister. And who on earth is he getting ready to punch? His extended left arm looks to be in classic superhero-flying position, so I can only assume that the "hero of unhealthy breakfast" is about to knock out a bird, a plane, or some other flying object with a right jab.
Actually, given what he stands for, I guess I can understand why he'd hold a grudge against the entire fowl race (turkey bacon, egg white omelets, and all that). But couldn't he have let it go for one second while he was getting his picture taken?
Now every time I set my coffee cup on this 4.25" x 4.25" tile coaster ($10), I can't help but wonder what he'll do if he finds out about that grilled chicken dinner I ate the night before.
This is nowhere near as exciting as a 3D doughnut magnet or even a realistic photo magnet would be for me, but the thrillingly named White Iced Doughnut Magnet is still something I'd stop to take a look at if I saw it stuck to a refrigerator, filing cabinet, or some other magnetic surface. If said surface were covered in the same "scratch- and UV-resistant mylar" used to protect the frosted doughnut's "vibrant colors," I may even be temporarily fooled into thinking the magnet had a hole in it.
Available in small (1.25"), standard (2.25"), and large (3") round sizes for $2.20, $2.35, and $2.95, respectively.
I'm really going to have to learn how to sew.
Even though I took a sewing class to keep a friend company and somehow ended up making a nightgown for my mom a few years ago, I still behave as though the needle-and-thread community took out a restraining order against me. My stitching was far from straight, I'll give you that, but it wasn't that offensive.
Still, I admit that I haven't come within 100 feet of even a travel sewing kit in years. The compounded effect of finding the beaded cupcake pattern last month and the Donut With Sprinkles Pattern ($7.50) today, however, has shown me the error of my avoiding ways.
Described as a "great beginner project," the one-page pattern sold by JustDessertsSweets looks to be right up my alley. Assuming I can handle the solitary pattern piece involved, my living room should be filled with piles of 4.25" handstitched doughnuts in no time.
Hmm. Unless your friends are very young children, I can't say that these 3" tutti frutti" knitted doughnuts stuffed with polyester would fool anyone. Your pals may scratch their heads over what they're meant to do with the plate of soft frosted treats placed before them, but I'm quite sure that they will not, as suggested by the creator, be crushed when you reveal that "juicy jam" isn't waiting to be set free by a big bite.
A set of six doughnuts (light pink, dark pink, green, purple, orange, and brown) can be yours for $17. Naive audience not included.
If you don't mind seeing baked-in evidence of their handmade-nature (i.e., fingerprints), these doughnut stitch markers are an adorable asset to the knitter/crocheter's toolkit.
A baker's dozen sells for $18.29 and can be ordered in different sizes (4mm to 8mm) and flavors. Not a hook-and-needle gal? Don't worry. Kishcrafts will gladly convert any stitch marker into a piece of jewelry, cell phone charm, or whatever else you want.

Naming this glazed earthenware piece "Doughnut Bowl" sort of lowers the sophistication level a bit, but if that's what artist Matthew A. Yanchuk wants to call his hand-painted work, then that's what it's called.
The $140 bowl stands 5.25" high and has a diameter of 11.25", making it better suited as a decorative home accent than a dish to heat up last night's leftovers, but evidently it's both "food and microwave safe." That take-out container in your fridge better be filled with caviar stew, truffles, and gold flakes.
Here's something that defies the natural order of home decor: the DoNut beanbag. On the surface, it looks like your everyday, average beanbag filled with "high density EPS pearls (best quality expanded polystyrene)." It looks like something you'd happily flop yourself into after a long day, right?
Right. But it can also serve as "your personal buoy" and outdoor seating because it's fashioned out of 100% polyester protected by a water-resistant PU coating that can be handwashed or placed into a pillow case and thrown into a washing machine.
Strange, intriguing, and available in nine colors (red, orange, light green, dark green, taupe, dark gray, nut, beige, white) for £148.
I've actually only seen cops in movies and cartoons eating doughnuts in the car or at a coffee shop, but I suppose the police-pastry cliche exists for a reason. Why else would The Cop Stop, an online shop featuring designs created by actual law enforcement folk, have come up with something like this doughnut wall clock ($12)? The design is simple and clever (I'm actually surprised no one has done this before) and the "it's all about the doughnut" line printed at the bottom definitely pulls no punches.
I don't have any police officers in the family or even known one personally, so I'd rather the pastries be used to spell out the word "doughnut" instead. Even "donut," a spelling I usually don't like, would make more sense hanging in my house.
Look at these mini doughnuts.
If they were set in front of you at a friend's house, wouldn't you pick one up and eat it? Now of course you know from its inclusion on Doughnut Bites, where edible doughnuts and anything related to making them is off limits, that the multi-colored treats are 100% inedible, but wouldn't you be tempted to taste one anyway?
The doughnuts are actually hand-poured 6-ounce fragrance melts ($5 each). When you heat them up on an electric warmer or tart burner, they melt and release an aroma. The pale orange ones shown in the photo are infused with a sumptuous blend of pumpkin pie and vanilla.
