Sometimes a little humor goes a long way, especially on the floor of a giant trade show. We always look forward to a stop at Fred & Co. - the items are silly (in a good way) and the folks are friendly. We took a few pics of what caught our eye at Fred:

Please take a sec and check out our new commenting policy...thanks!

I like the Splash bowl, but is it ceramic? Did it seem really fragile? I'd be worried about the drops on the far side. Otherwise, they'd be great dishes.

those beer glasses are pretty clever

I like the candles--perfect for birthday cakes of friends you like to tease are "older than dirt".

I am loving those beer glasses, too. Then again they remind me of one of my favorite Fred purchases... my Calf & Half creamer.

I have the 'calf & half' creamer from fred. It's my guilty pleasure novelty item.

The splash bowl is silicone. i talked to the Fred folks for about 30 minutes at Housewares, really nice people. Hilariously cute, punny items. I love the Flora spatulas. And the circular saw Pizza cutter.

I love that cereal bowl but that knife is sooo creepy. Why, Fred, why?

I love Fred & Co. So unique! My kids love when I add their humorous things to the kitchen! I have the voodoo man toothpick holder... it gets some strange looks. Might have to add that cutting board to my collection!
