Hold the pickles! Cheeseburger wrapping paper set perfect for burger lovers

This holiday season, wrapping gifts might make you hungry. For the food lover in your life , Gift Couture has created a realistic cheeseburger wrapping paper set .

The company uses realistic photography to create its cheeseburger set: two sheets of bun paper and one sheet each of patty, cheese, lettuce and tomato paper. For $20 you get the whole set, or you can purchase individual sheets for $5 each, say, if your special someone really loves tomatoes!

You can order the mouthwatering paper at Kickstarter. Who knows what gourmet gift wrap the future holds -- ice cream sandwiches or maybe a club sandwich?

“Brew” takes on new meaning: Starbucks to offer wine, beer at some Chicago locations

“I’ll have a grande cabernet sauvignon please.” Not sure if that’s how the order process will go, but it might! In 2012, several Starbucks coffee shops in the Chicago area will have a new menu: Beer, wine and small plates will be offered after 2 p.m.

The coffee giant tested the concept in several shops in the Pacific Northwest with success. The new menu will be aimed at increasing evening sales and will also entertain guests with poetry, live music and other live theater. The Chicago-based locations will include existing shops that will be remodeled as well as some that will be newly built.

Only time will tell if Starbucks will expand this concept to a coffee shop near you!
