Keep those chompers away from me! Hang them on a wall somewhere.

I keep finding him under the stove or in the bathtub or the fireplace when I get home. Stay put, Mario!

Do you have secrets that can only be hidden properly behind giant question marks? Gold coins perhaps? I've got some shelves for you.

I guess once you're seven it's not so scary for a tiny mustachioed plumber to come bursting out of your birthday cake anymore. Right, Stan?

Is the bloom off the rose? Is the novelty of your iPad wearing off? Spruce it up a bit with a mushroom case! Re-up that nerd cred and walk the cubicle maze with your head held high!

Keep your toes warm and your nerd cred intact.

Goomba, get out of my way, I need to get that question mark! I was always terrible at this game.

I'll endure ear-biters for fashion. Looking good comes at a price.

There are a million Mario cupcakes out there and pretty much all of them are adorable. I particularly like these because of how simple they are. The shapes are basic and effective, the fondant is smooth and not too thick, and Mario's mustache is as full as ever.

This is much better looking than the neighbor's dining room across the alley.

As long as a dude with a mustache doesn't pop out of my morning cuppa joe, I think we'll be all right.

This year, let's get creative with our lunches! Wouldn't a fancy bento lift your spirits in the afternoon? Let's resolve to cut a shape out of a vegetable or a piece of cheese or meat just once a week this year.
