Pig is the new dog

by Polly

On February 18th, 2007, the Chinese calendar will change from the Year of the Dog to the Year of the Pig. People everywhere are gearing up for a big Chinese New Year celebration, so sales of pig-related merchandise is on the increase.

Here are some things I found that are fun, and will break the piggy bank.

From Pearl River, these ceramic piggy banks are fun, and run from $4.50 for a 6″ bank to $21.50 for a 12″.

Then, decorate your digs with a strand of embroidered pigs, also from Pearl River, for $19.50.

Make a pig of yourself with some cute pig chocolates. Available from Chocolate Fantasies, the pig lollies are just $2.50 each and come wrapped in a cellophane bag.

I am a cocktail napkin fanatic (seriously, it’s almost an obsession), so I may have to snag these myself. They’re from Party America, and they’re just $1.99 for a package of 16. While you’re there, be sure to check out their other Chinese New Year party supplies.

Celebrate the Year of the Pig with cute, cheap pig products!
