There is more in the world than sugary treats. If you're one of those folks who has no interest in indulging in the traditional not-so-good-for-you birthday celebration ... 1-800-FLOWERS has come up with an adorable alternative. They've made beautiful cakes and cocktails out of flowers! The arrangements are beautiful, fun and absolutely guilt free!
Now, I'm not a girl who brings cake into my home or even orders it at a restaurant. I am, however, someone who enjoys a piece on my birthday. If true cake is a special component of your big day, than by all means ... have some! But if it's not, I think these cakes made of flowers make a wonderful celebratory substitute.
The other thing that struck me is that they'd make an incredibly thoughtful gift as well. We've all had the standard bouquet brought to our door, but these little masterpieces are the kind of flowers that would make me squeal! As a fitness trainer, I hold myself to a very high standard. I want to be a role model and I'd never want to contribute in an unhealthy way to a friend. I personally could never just grab a basket of chocolate and give it to someone I love. How contrary that would be!
Some truly unique gift ideas for the fitness junkie
As Christmas gets closer and closer every day, for some of us procrastinators the stress of Christmas gift shopping is getting greater and greater. But if you've got a fitness-lover on your shopping list this year you may find your answer in this list of unique items and gizmos. Depending on just how "gizmo" you want to go, there is everything on the list from workout DVDs to a massage tool nicknamed "The Stick." Or maybe a "buddy-system" fitness plan that's designed like a game, where competition helps motivate and the winner gets rewarded. There's also a wristwatch alarm that can sense your body's rhythms and wake you up at the most opportune moment in the morning, or a sports bra that has a heart-rate monitor built right in. Or, if all that is a bit too unique, maybe some cool upgraded headphones for your loved one's iPod/MP3 player would be a better fit.
Everybody loves to get thoughtful and unique gifts, and this list is certainly full of those! It's just up to you to decide if they fit anyone on your list or not.
