FREE JELLO JIGGLERS CUTOUTS (JUST PAY $2.95 SHIPPING)

Kraft currently has a promotion here for the above set of 6 Jello Jigglers cutouts for Christmas that they are offering for free, just pay $2.95 shipping.  

I have previously ordered Krafts Brain Mold for Halloween and it arrived promptly and I was happy with the results.  It looks like they could also double as cookie cutters and but used in craft applications, whether it be tracing around the molds on paper to create a gift wrap or ornaments, make Play-doh ornaments or covering them in glitter and hanging on a Christmas tree.

Disclaimer:  I have received nothing for this post - I just think they are cool.

 You can also use the mold for ice to put in a punch, like this decayed looking brain made of ice and grape Kool-ade
at Hub Pages 

Another use would be to make a brain dip using mushroom soup, shrimp, cream cheese and unflavored gelatin - recipe at Gapers Block

BACKYARD BUGS CAKE MOLD

This would be a fun prank to take to a picnic and tell everyone that you brought "backyard bugs" for dessert.

They are made by pouring cake batter into a cast iron mold by Nordic Ware and are available at Target,
Amazon, and the Nordic Ware website for between $22.50 - $32.00; a steeper price than aluminum shaped pans for a novelty item, but they are quality and do last as they are made out of cast iron and bake more evenly than aluminum pans.  Nordic Ware is a family owned household and industrial kitchenware manufacturer out of Minnesota and they have been in business since 1946.

If you aren't into decorating cakes, you could even just use a red velvet cake batter like Amazon user HB 
and give them a "bloody" bug look that you could use around Halloween.
