Great Gift Idea!
April 26th, 2010 @ 2:56 pm
Have you ever wondered what to give to your friend for his/her birthday or to help him/her celebrate something special?
I came across something that I think is a great gift idea. It won’t break the bank, is fun, thoughtful, something no one would expect, and very tasty! 
A couple of years ago, I came across a little Etsy store called Fat Daddy’s. It sold cakes in a jar (cute concept, huh?). Over the past couple of years, this little store has gotten very big and has changed its name. It is now called Bangerang Bake Shop and is no longer on Etsy, but has a site of its own.
I’ve ordered three as gifts for others (my sister, Mom, and neighbor’s kid) and have ordered a few for myself, to of course try (had to make sure they were worthy of giving as gifts). They are packaged very cute and perfect to eat all by yourself or share with one other (if you’re feeling generous). There are quite a few flavors, even one that is sugar-free without the sugar-free taste, along with some holiday and special flavors. There’s something for everyone.
Feeling really generous? Give someone “The Cupcake of the Month Club” gift. You would be SO loved (um, pick me, pick me).

Oh my goodness, Jan. You are detrimental to my weight loss.
Looks so yummy! I’m shocked how reasonable the prices are too. Thanks for the perfect idea for gifts!

Tell me about it. It’s hard trying to eat right and look at how incredibly yummy these cakes are.

Yes but you’re doing awesome with your weight loss plan. Congrats on your progress so far!
Maybe next week we can take a walk with Brody or something.

I’m always up for a walk and thanks for your encouragement about my weight. Lunch for us will be interesting (we are definitely eating in).

oh, YUM! I might actually do that myself as a gift – it seems like the best way to ship a cake!!

Hahaha! Whatever you want to do is fine. I’ll either save up points or eat light later. You let me know what you want to do and that’ll work for me I’m sure.

I can vouch for these being VERY yummy. (Thanks Jan!) I did not share. (I almost felt bad about it). I don’t even want to think about how many calories and fat grams are in them!

Ok, so it looks like toilet paper and cake are the most popular topics on my blog. Good to know. LOL! And Danielle, are you saying that you think it’s a great gift idea for yourself or for you to give to someone else.

Toilet paper and cake… the essentials in life!
I think that should be the next wall word design you put in your house, Jan! Haha!
