10 Bacon-Themed Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Husband

Amanda King
Christmas shopping for a husband is one of the hardest tasks a woman can undertake. Your husband already has every gaming system available. He already has a collection of ties he never wears. He still uses his old wallet instead of the one you bought him last Christmas. Yet, when you ask him what he wants for Christmas it's always the same, "I dunno".

Surprise your husband this year with the gift of... bacon. Yes, seriously. It is no secret that most husbands love bacon almost as much as they love their wives. Your husband probably had no idea that a bacon themed gift would be anything he could request for Christmas. Yet there are plenty of unique bacon themed Christmas gifts available to the man in your life. Here are 10 of the most popular examples.

Bacon Themed Christmas Gift Idea #1: Bacon of the Month Club
Enrolling your husband in a Bacon of the Month Club will be the gift that keeps on giving all year long. Once a month you will receive a package of bacon at your front door. Each month will be a different type of bacon. Some companies will even throw in a recipe that is ideal with the bacon they send and other goodies such at coffee mugs, pens, and t-shirts. Depending on the company, the prices will range from $99-$300. A worthwhile price considering it is better bacon than a supermarket would carry, shipping is included, various freebies, and it is delivered to your doorstep. Check out The Pig Next Door for a decently priced Bacon of the Month Club.

Bacon Themed Christmas Gift Idea #2: Bacon toys
If your husband is into weird action figures or kitschy collectibles, bacon toys are the way to go. From bacon action figures to bacon decorations, these are all things that can be displayed around his office (or your home if you're willing) to proclaim his love of bacon. The best place to find bacon toys is Archie McPhee & Co.- they have the biggest selection of bacon themed toys among other bacon products.

Bacon Themed Christmas Gift Idea #3: Bacon air freshener
Sometimes it's not the taste of the bacon that's so wonderful, it's the smell. The bacon air freshener actually looks and smells like a package of bacon. Maybe not meant to hand in the car on a hot day, but it could be a very fun stocking stuffer.

Bacon Themed Christmas Gift Idea #4: Bacon cookbook
Bacon is great on it's own, there is no man that would deny that, but what about all the other ways bacon can be enjoyed? If your husband is good in the kitchen, he may enjoy a bacon cookbook. A search through Amazon.com will bring up bacon cookbooks that offer 100's of ways to cook and enjoy bacon.

Bacon Themed Christmas Gift Idea #5: Bacon flavored toothpicks and mints
Strange? Yes. The bacon flavored toothpicks and mints are great for any husband that is a hardcore bacon fanatic. It could possibly be the best way for your husband to freshen his breath after a big meal of- what else?- bacon.

Bacon Themed Christmas Gift Idea #6: Bacon lip balm
It's already hard enough to get your husband to wear lip balm- even when his lips are cracked and dry. But maybe you won't have to bug him if he had his own bacon flavored lip balm. It's a two-in-one gift: He'll get to enjoy the flavor of bacon when he wants, and you'll get him to take care of his dry lips.

Bacon Themed Christmas Gift Idea #7: Bacon board game
The bacon board game, known as Mr. Bacon's Big Adventure, is fun for everyone. It plays a lot like the classic board games with a spinner, cards, and alternative rules. If your piece is the first to reach the end of the trail (which is a frying pan) you win. It could be a game to play with you husband and kids or just a collectible to show off.

Bacon Themed Christmas Gift Idea #8: Bacon wallet
This may be the only wallet that you should ever give as a Christmas gift. The wallet looks like a package of bacon. It's simple, useful, and a little strange- but is a great gift for your favorite bacon lover.

Bacon Themed Christmas Gift Idea #9: A bacon t-shirt
If your man works a lot of the week, on his off days he may just want to lounge around in a t-shirt. Why not a bacon t-shirt? It's a fun way for him to proclaim his love of the food. There are a few styles available at Baconshirts.com or the Zazzle store Better Bacon. They're all fun and you may find one you like for yourself.

Bacon Themed Christmas Gift Idea #10: Bacon salt!
Bacon Salt is probably the best gift to give the bacon lover in your life. With none of the fat or calories as regular bacon, bacon salt can be put on any food to give it a bacon flavor. It even comes in all the different kinds of bacon, such as Hickory and Peppered. You can find it at this website and surprise your man with every flavor.
