**zap.FREEDOM** · March 9th, 2014 11:57 PM

Hello Gearheads!

I just want to gather some suggestion from some of you,..ok, so..a special friend will be celebrating her birthday next week and I'm planning what good food to give as a gift? last time a gave her a cake...but this year, I want something different, (pakiramdam ko kasi masyado nang common ang cake sa birthdayhan) can I have some suggestions from yours? Some suggestions I got is to gift a donut this time (but still don't know what brand to get..J.Co or Krispy Kreme? since I'm not a foodie and don't have interest eating donuts at all) or just a personal/home-made specialty (Biko, Maja Blanca?)

Cake, maybe from a home baker so it's a little more special.

Chocolates always work.

Lechon Cebu, kung may kakilala ka doon, pa airfreight ka ng Zubuchon.

That's a great suggestion ms.Cathy, chocolates...hmm..siguro nga adding chocolates naman this time (pang-complementary dun sa pinaka-ireregalo ko)...but what brand? saka still need yung pinakapang-front.I'll take note of that.

What's your budget? For chocolates I wouldn't go for the commercial brands sold in supermarkets. Probably Royce or Patchi? Truffettes de France is my favorite. They have a stall in Glorietta but it's cheaper if you buy a box at S&R. I'm not sure if it's available now. I can check for you at the Fort if you want.
