The Lucky Pig is darling.  He will be great for any larger dinner or a potluck.  I think he will "charm" all.  Presently he sits on my counter holding onions and sweet potatoes ready for future cooking.  I imagine many creative uses for him:  holding lots of varieties of peppermint candies at Christmas; add a small ladle and serve eggnog; on counter holding a pile of tangerines; using floral foam making a beautiful flower arrangement;  at Easter holding a ton of colored eggs; if you are a lady that collects bangle bracelets, seems like he could conviently display them for you; or how about holding little guest towels for convenience.  I bought a Lucky Pig for my daughter and one for myself...she may plant succulents in hers--we love him!!!     Megan in California
