To be fair, it’s not like you need an excuse to throw a party. Sometimes you just want to throw a party, so you do. But just in case you wanted an excuse to pull out the party snacks and unique gifts, we’ve got it covered. It turns out that every year is full of excuses for parties. Sure, you can always party on your birthday or a major holiday, but have you ever considered celebrating one of these?

Squirrel Appreciation Day

Squirrel Appreciation Day! How great is that? Yes, it’s a real holiday, thank you very much. It takes place on January 21st. Look it up. And you know what squirrels love? Nuts. Obviously, that means you should go nuts with the party snacks. Just be careful if you share your nuts with the squirrels. Do your research on what’s safe for them to eat, first. The Wasabi Peanut Crunchies, for example, land squarely in the Not Safe for Squirrels column.

Pistachio Day

Well, there you go. It’s pretty self-explanatory. Party snacks? Pistachios, obviously. Unique gifts? Pistachios. We’ll leave it up to you to get creative with this one. You have until next February to figure it out.

Something on a Stick Day

Something on a Stick Day? That’s a perfectly good reason to throw a party! Again, your party snacks are covered because it’s right there in the name. By the way, The Toe of Satan Challenge totally comes on a stick. You’ll have to prep fast, though. Something on a Stick Day will be here before you know it. It shows up on March 28th, to be exact.

Eat What You Want Day

“Excuse me,” you’re probably thinking right now, “We already have an Eat What You Want Day, and it’s called Thanksgiving.” Well, it turns out that there’s another one. It takes place on May 11th, and you don’t even have to spend it with your relatives.

Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day

People ate nuts in the past, and we’re just assuming that they’ll eat nuts in the future. This one happens on December 8th. Watch time travel movies and eat party snacks. Or do something more creative. You’ll think of something by then.

Party Snacks and Unique Gifts

Whatever your reason for throwing a party, we’ve got all the party snacks and unique gifts you could possibly need. Let Try My Nuts take care of the food. Check out your options today.

What In Bob's Name Are Buffalo Bobs?

If you're like us, you like a little French fries with your ketchup. A little dressing with your salad. A little steak sauce with your New York Strip. If you’re like us, you’re drowning in sauce.

Feel the Burn

Hey, hot stuff, can you feel the burn? Do you know someone who loves the heat? In any group, there’s always someone with dragon breath. Typically a mild-mannered person, this pepper fanatic morphs into a fire eater who claims, “That’s not hot – I add a ton of hot peppers to my chili!” We all know someone who chomps jalapeno peppers like strawberries and who opens his cupboard – is it true that it’s always a guy? – to show you his spread of hot sauces. Well, here’s the world’s hottest gift for that character: a chance to grow the world’s hottest peppers with Try My Nuts. The heat in peppers comes from a chemical compound called capsaicin (pronounced cap-SAY-sin), which has all kinds of uses. It is used for bear spray and to reduce pain from arthritis, psoriasis, and shingles. And it’s used to put both pain and flavor in your food. When ordering peppers, most packages come marked with Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) that identify the intensity of the heat. Sweet peppers get 0 SHUs...

Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns Outta Bed!

How do you get your buns out of bed? Pick one: The cat is dancing on your face. You can't wait to clean the snow off your car so you can get to the office. You must get to the mirror so you can scare yourself to death. The thrill of one more Greek yogurt? Wrong. If you're like 30 million other Americans, you rely on magic in a cup. Black magic, that is - but we know it as coffee. Or brown magic if you add cream. Mmm, that first sip: there's nothing like it. Most people swear by their favorite brand, but we swear by ours. Try My Nuts has some awesome kick-your-butt-out-of-bed coffee; it's called Get Up and Go and it’s perfect for when your get-up won't go. Think of it as a machete slicing through the gunk - or toothpicks holding your eyes open. Either way, Get Up and Go means go, go, go! Our coffee pods will have you percolating in no time, and that's a good thing because there's no time when you're running late. But wait, there's more. Let's...
