Goodness knows I love a ceramic container, especially when they’re shaped like something cute and/or funny and if they’re wildly overpriced, but I tend to covet rather than purchase. Like the container for one thing. I love it, but I just can’t make myself spend $26 on a 3-inch diameter container, even if I can hang it from the ceiling and use it to hold my afternoon Skittle.
That’s why I need to get these instead: they’re cute in a kind of depressing way, they have airtight lids AND they’re wildly overpriced. Although when you divide $175 by 4 they’re only $43.75 apiece.
To be fair, the little head-only guy should probably be pro-rated to make up for his lack of body and corresponding inability to actually contain anything. That requires math more advanced than I’m willing or able to do, so $43.75 apiece it is.
My favorite thing other than the containers themselves is the low price guarantee. If you can find an identical set of Melting Snowman canisters for less than $175, they will match the price! So if you did your research, you could score a real deal, like $170, or $165.
It should surprise no one to learn that the designer is Canadian.
If you prefer to contain your foodstuffs in an equally overpriced but less morbid-looking container, there’s always the Bunny Cookie Jar. Although if I’m being honest, these freak me out more. Something about the idiotic smile coupled with the dead, dead eyes; they send a chill down my spine. I do not want to store my cookies in a vomit-orange ceramic zombie rabbit.

Not much creeps me out, but those bunnies? Are shudder inducing!
“Vomit-orange”? What did YOU eat that came up that color? Because I’ve never seen vomit that color.
Woah! I thought those melting snowmen were rising, haunting spirits, and that the (now I see how) carroty part was an open, howling maw. Could the high price be due to double-duty as Hallowe’en ornaments?
I thought the snowmen were ghosties, too. If I owned them, I would consider them ghosts. Howling maws, indeed. Love them.
I’m with Jenerita and Emily. I thought they were ghosts or the Scream monster or something. If you didn’t tell me they were melting snowmen, I wouldn’t have figured it out.
Of course I would have been scratching my head as to why one of them lacked a body.
ghosts rising from the earth, ghosts with …. buttons?!?
Hey, ghosts need to fasten their ghostly garments together too! What would you prefer they used – velcro??
