It’s that time of the year again. The Mid-Autumn Festival has come and gone. That means you’ve probably got a whole stash of mooncakes from work sitting in your apartment collecting dust.
又到了每年的中秋节，小长假转瞬即逝。这意味着你很可能收到了一大堆月饼，吃不完的月饼只能放在公寓里积灰。
“No, Johnson! You can’t have a raise. You can enjoy these MOONCAKES though!!”
“不，Johnson！你不会获得加薪，但你可以享受这些月饼！”
Fortunately, your options aren’t limited to merely throwing them away or regifting them on any unsuspecting family members who are planning on visiting China in the nearby future.
幸运的是，你的选择并不局限于仅仅把它们扔掉，或者把它们转送给那些打算在不久的将来访问中国，并且毫不知情的家庭成员。

Yoga Wheel 瑜伽轮
Yoga is great. It keeps you fit and helps reduce stress. Unfortunately, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but no worries – you just scored a free yoga wheel from your repurposed mooncakes!
瑜伽很棒。它使你保持健康，并有助于减轻压力。不幸的是，这可能有点费钱，但不用担心——你可以利用的剩下月饼变成一个免费的瑜伽轮！
Coaster 杯垫
“Dude, how many times do I have to tell you? This isn’t college anymore. You have to respect the wood.” With mooncake coasters, you’ll never have to wake up the next morning after a great party to encounter water stains all over your table again.
“伙计，我要告诉你多少次？这已经不是大学了。你得尊重这片树林。”有了月饼杯垫，你就再也不用在一个盛大聚会的第二天早上醒来，桌子上又到处沾上水渍。
Park Spinners 公园扯铃
Alright, we admit it. We don’t know what those spinny things the old people play with in the park are called. Fortunately for you, you’ll impress the shu shus and ayis so much with your skills that it won’t matter how bad your Mandarin is.
好吧，我承认。我们不确定那些老人在公园里玩的那种到处转的东西叫什么。对你来说，幸运的是，你会用你的技能给叔叔阿姨们留下深刻的印象，所以你的普通话再差也不要紧。
Bikini 比基尼
You’ve already booked your Spring Festival flight to Thailand, you’ve chosen your sandy resort, and now you have the perfect bikini for the beach! Just make sure you don’t get hungry and nibble away too much.
你已经预订了去泰国的春节航班，你选择了你的沙滩度假胜地，现在你有了完美的海滩比基尼！你只要确保不会因为太饿把月饼吃光就行了。
Earplugs 耳塞
No more 6am jackhammer construction wake up calls for this laowai! The dense egg yolk and lotus root fillings will block out all unwanted sounds.
早上6点的装修声再也闹不醒这个老外了！浓密的蛋黄和莲藕填充物会阻挡所有不必要的声音。
Rat Trap 捕鼠器
The big raise at work came in and you made the move to that gorgeous renovated lanehouse you’ve been dreaming of. The only problem? – Those mice sure do like 1st floor apartments in the alley. Good thing you’ve got mooncake traps.
通过升职加薪，你搬到了你梦寐以求的重新翻修过的弄堂里。唯一的缺点是，弄堂一楼老鼠为患。幸好你有月饼来做诱饵。
Pothole Fix 坑洞修复
Just in case the city takes a little bit to fix that hole on your morning commute, you’re already prepared. Your scooter will thank you.
如果这座城市需要一些东西来修复你早上通勤路上的那个洞，你和你的月饼已经准备好了！你的摩托车会感谢你的。
Cat Bed 猫床垫
You’ve spent countless rmb on beds for Miss Fluff, but she just won’t use them. Leave a few spongy mooncakes out though, and we bet she’ll have a new favourite spot.
你为这个毛茸茸的小东西花了无数的钱挑选床具，但她就是不肯用。不过，如果换成月饼床垫，我打赌她会爱上这个地方。
VR Goggle Headset 头戴式VR眼镜
The kids have been begging for a PS4 Pro with VR goggles for Christmas for a while now. Too bad for them that whole setup is really expensive. Try out this knock-off set instead. It only plays Mooncake Mania, but its really, really fun. You’ll win parents of this year this upcoming holiday season.
孩子们已经吵着闹着好久说想要一个带VR护目镜的PS4 Pro作为圣诞礼物了。但整个装置真的很贵。试一试这套替代品。它只会播放月饼狂潮，但它真的，真的很有趣。在即将到来的假期里，你将赢得今年的最佳家长奖。
Frisbee 飞盘
Get out and enjoy the nice weather before the big chill comes! Your new mooncake frisbee is soft on the hands, and the bright colours make it easy to see. Perfect.
