Gifts on a Theme

Top 6 Bacon Themed Gift Ideas

Love of bacon is very popular these days. Chef Michael Symon from Food Network and The Chew often mentions his love of bacon, among other meats.  Why not take someone’s favorite food (or food obsession) into consideration when thinking about what to buy? The quantity and variety of bacon products on the market – excluding actual bacon! – is remarkable. These are my top 6 bacon themed gift ideas, in no particular order.

Bacon Novelty

Of course we’re going to start here. This category includes such things as bacon flavored toothpaste, dental floss, and tooth picks. There are also bacon themed bandages, piggy banks, action figures, drink coolers, and so much more. These tended to be the lowest price items, so if you’re looking for a small gift, this could be good.  Check out these novelty novelty bacon themed gift ideas.

Bacon Office Supplies

Yep. There are bacon themed gift ideas for home or office. Some of these would be good for kids, too. This collection includes useful everyday items with a fun twist. Here you’ll find calendars, lanyards and ID holders, mouse pads, notepads, planners, several kinds of tape, scented erasers, notecards, and more.

Bacon Games

If you’re going for lasting fun, its here. I had no idea there were so many bacon themed games out there! Seriously. You’ll discover bacon themed card decks, bacon dice games, board games, several puzzles, and even bacon hacky sacks. There’s a road trip bacon game, Bacon-Opoly, and of course, 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Gifts found in this category are bound to bring humor and good times to any gathering.

Bacon Clothes

There are bacon clothes! Who knew? Not me. I thought maybe I’d find a novelty bacon tie, some t-shirts, and maybe some socks. But there’s way more than that! I found a bacon suit and a bacon dress, too. (Not sure this is appropriate office attire, but it sure would be lighten the mood!)

For men, women, and kids, there are t-shirts, hoodies, tanks, pants, boxers. There are also things like bacon themed aprons, wallets, and towels.  And if you really want to go crazy, there’s bacon jewelry. Yes, some is made of bacon flavored candy, but nonperishable earrings and necklaces are available, too.

Bacon Pillows and Blankets

I think this is my favorite category of bacon themed gift ideas. Everyone needs a bacon pillow, and most could use a bacon blanket at some point during the year. If it’s always too hot where you are for a blanket, scrunch it up and use it as a pillow! These items may or may not go with a room’s color palette or decoration style. But they definitely add some personality and will serve as a great conversation starter!

Bacon Home Decor

Here you’ll discover bacon wall art and other bacon home decor items. Included are bacon themed gift ideas such as ornaments, coasters, candles, plaques, signs, wall clocks, door mats, pillow covers, and more. I’m not sure I’d want my entire house to reflect a bacon theme, but having a few of these items would mix in a little fun. They’d be great for a basement bar, rec room, man cave, or grill area, too!
