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?)

Chocolates always work.

March 10th, 2014 02:37 PM #6That'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.

March 10th, 2014 04:25 PM #8What'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. Originally Posted by zap.FREEDOM

March 10th, 2014 11:51 PM #16Since the TS is also from the south, how about Mango bravo from Conti's? Less expensive and di mo na kailangan lumayo.

March 11th, 2014 12:25 PM #19it'd be nice if you could think of some favorite food your friend hasn't eaten in a long time , it doesn't need to be fancy per se. A lot of my old college friends were very happy when i gave them some brownies na galing sa bakeshop near our old school(tinigil ko na, sobrang mahal :p). an officemate of mine who came here from Cebu was very appreciative of the danggit i brought him earlier this year.
Kung wala kang maisip...i think you can't go wrong with kakanin :D
