Rude Ice Cube Tray Chocolate Molds - Another fun one that can be used as a time waster over the office Christmas shut down and with a price under the $40 budget, bundle this up with some chocolate melts or other fun creative ideas, the list is endless, from a bath of dicks (mini bath bombs) to mind cock candles. Have fun!
