    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.

    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.

    check 1st what foods s/he likes but if it's cake then may I suggest silvana at frozen section rustan's supermarket in rockwell. 3 pcs * 69 lang before not sure how much now. di ito sobrang matamis na cake gaya ng iba pero tama lang ang pagkatamis nya.

    How about sa ideal things as gift to a close friend na girl naman. Any suggestions???

    Vargas stall at Rustan's Rockwell has good frozen brazo din. They sell something that's similar to a silvana, brazo bomb ata.

    Vargas is like the normal brazo but the filling is like gooey yema. I like it better than the Frozen Brazo from Dasma.
