Food and drink

 by: Tara Pearce

So you have a friend that has a sweet tooth and you need to get them a last minute gift, or just a gloriously well thought out gift? Consider give cake and candy as gifts. Of course, you don’t have to give both, cake or candy is fine also. There are lots of wonderful options for both, just visit our Sweet Gifts page (http://www.gourmet-food-gifts.com/sweet-gifts.htm) for more information.

Cake Gifts:

• Our favorite here is cheesecake. And yes, you can get cheesecake for delivery online. One store we recommend has several flavors, up to 4 pound cheesecakes, or even single serving size and truffle size!

• Another store that carries just about everything also has a wonderful selection of international gourmet cakes. Try some, you’ll be delighted, and so will your friend!

• How about white chocolate mint truffle torte? Or chocolate chip fudge cake? These are just 2 of our favorites from one of the merchants we recommend.

Candy Gifts:

• Candy gifts are especially perfect for milestone birthdays. Our favorite merchant for candy has “retro” candy gifts based on the decade. So for someone turning 30 or 35 for example, you might get them the 80’s package. All kinds of candy you can’t find now, but it’s still freshly made and shipped at low cost.

• If you have a preference for newer choices in candy, our second store has what you want. From Jelly Belly Jelly Beans to Pez to Bazooka, not to mention Altoids and Hershey’s chocolate (just to name a few, really!) you’re sure to find the perfect gift.

• If you need a sugar free gift for dietary reasons, this store can also help. With hard candy, licorice and even sugar free Jelly Belly’s, there’s something that’s sure to please.

I hope this has given you a better idea of what you can find out there. I had no idea you could buy candy and cakes like this online! Now that I do though, watch out – that’s what I’ll be giving as gifts all the time! Enjoy your shopping, but remember to eat first, otherwise you may buy out the whole store ;)
