There are some tschochkes that are so irresistibly cute, so miniature and fun, that we just have to have them.
For me, it's a Yummy Donut keychain by kidrobot, designed by super-talented, Pennsylvania-based My Paper Crane designer Heidi Kenney. If you think these donuts are cute, just wait 'til you see the rest of her work - she knits plush food accessories like eggs, milk cartons, and ice cream sandwiches, complete with little smiley faces and rosy cheeks.
The keychains are about one inch by one inch, and each are different - but the boxes aren't labeled, so the "flavor" you get is a surprise. I wound up with Honey, a shy lemon-glazed, but there are tons of them available: from Sugar Daddy, a jolly chocolate-glazed with sprinkles to Pinky, a smiley hunk of chocolate cake with pink frosting to Cris Cringle, who sports white frosting accented with red and green sprinkles.
And at $2.95 a pop, you can afford to start a collection. Go on - you know you want one.
