Today we're featuring a gingerbread house kit by Candy Cottage and we have a sugar rush just thinking about all of the endless gingerbread house ideas we can create. The cool think about this kit is that it doesn't include stale pre-baked gingerbread or require you to bake it from scratch. Nope -- the fun is in the decorating and that's what these kits let you focus on.

These are reusable houses that are easy to assemble and ready to decorate -- all year long. Left over Halloween candy? Check out these spooky gingerbread house ideas:

Now you can create gingerbread houses all year (isn't that fun?). Check out other holiday ideas:

And of course, you're kit will be put to good use around Christmas.

Are you inspired to come up with other gingerbread house ideas? Tell us, what type of candy house would you create?

It's safe to say that last week's feature of Cuppow (to-go lids for mason jars) was a huge hit. In addition to the steady flow of orders, they took off on Pinterest and we've noticed all of your comments and excitement around these little problem solvers. If you missed Cuppow the first time around, be sure to check out or video (here) to see them in action and learn about how after a few too many spills in the car, Joshua Resnikoff starting thinking there must be a way to make a Mason jar more travel friendly. He teamed with his friend Aaron Panone, a mechanical engineer, and together they created Cuppow, a BPA-free plastic lid that turns an ordinary Mason jar into a travel mug. Now you can fill up yor mason jar and take your favorite beverage to-go.

Since Cuppow seems to be such a hit, we thought it'd be fun to give some away! Enter to win your own Cuppow lid.
