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.

Not Your Mama's Snack Attack

Where do you put those gifts you don’t want? Come on, admit it - you’ve got a regifting closet or shelf stuffed with vases, shower and bath sets, loofahs, spoon holders, and scarves and hats you don’t like. And just like anything else that misbehaves, gifts do too - that’s why we put them in time out until we can figure out what to do with them. Consider the ugly sweaters you’ll wear - over your dead body. We all have well-intentioned loved ones and office workers who wouldn’t leave us out for the world come holiday time. The problem is, how well do they know us? How could they possibly pick out something special? And for that matter, how can we pick out something for someone we hardly know? We can’t - that’s the problem... which brings us to the solution. Let’s face it: not everyone shares our tastes and vice versa. What to do? Send food! Comfort food! Snacks. Ah, but what kind of snacks? We’re talking Try My Nuts, of course. We take the fear out of gift-giving every singl...

All the Best in Delicious Gift-Giving

They were the worst of nuts; they were the best of nuts. They were drugstore nuts; they were Try My Nuts. So you don't know what to give a friend? A coworker? The boss? You are nut alone. Some people are difficult to buy for. It's a universal problem, trying to figure out what someone else likes, what they can use, what they won't re-gift. After all, you are buying for them, not their friends, right? Perhaps we can help. Make a list of things that are important to that person. Does that person like horses? Antique furniture? Classic cars? Sorry, we can't help with that. We can, however, help with munchies. And not just any munchies, but the kind you remember long after the last nibble is gone. The kind that makes you want to take the box and hide it under your shirt, sneak into the closet, and eat the whole thing. Who says you can't find that kind of gift? You can here at Try My Nuts.
