Bigger is better...

My girls recently found a love for fortune cookies a few months back. We don’t get to go out for Chinese food often as I have a food allergy that prohibits me going to Chinese restaurants or eating Chinese takeout. However our first trip to a Chinese buffet for a birthday dinner provided my girls with a world of new foods (to most of which they wouldn’t touch) as well as introduced them to the fortune cookie. Ever since then my parents have saved all their fortune cookies whenever they have Chinese just for the girls, and it’s a big treat for them they were always so excited to get them. I say they were always so excited because now, those little broken fortune cookies from takeout have no comparison to the fortune cookie that they got their eyes, hands and mouths on recently.

Feast your eyes on the Giant Fortune Cookie from Fancy Fortune Cookies.

This baby is HUMONGOUS! When they say giant fortune cookie they mean GIANT! I’ve never seen a fortune cookie so big in my life, and to a 3 year old and 5 year old you can just imagine what the look on their faces looked like when I opened up the box. How did they do this? Do they have a secret ray gun stocked away in their warehouse that makes things giant? Because seriously that’s what it looks like.

Covered in chocolate, smiley faces and sprinkles the Giant Fortune Cookie looked so yummy yet so amazing at the same time I didn’t want to eat it, or break it open to see my fortune, yes there’s a fortune inside just like a regular fortune cookie, thing about this fortune is that it’s customizable. If you were to purchase one of these giant fortune cookies for someone (or even yourself) you tell them what the fortune inside should say, this could make for a great surprise gift for someone!

I delicately pulled the paper out with my fortune on it I really didn’t want to break this cookie! I wrapped the cookie back up and stuck it in the fridge for safe keeping. Until the children kept bugging and bugging me to try it, we finally caved and OH MY GOSH it was DELICIOUS! Definitely not something that’s allowed on my diet, but I couldn’t help myself, so tasty, so good, so YUMMY! It was finished in a matter of days.

This is the perfect gift for just about anyone when you’re looking to give something a little ‘different’ as a gift. Father’s Day is coming up in June and I think MANY a father would enjoy chomping down on this delicious fortune cookie along with finding a surprise fortune inside.

Fancy Fortune Cookies not only customizes chocolate covered Giant Fortune Cookies but they have a variety of colors, flavors and sizes you can choose from both giant and small. It’s no wonder these fortune cookies were listed on Oprah’s favorite things TWICE!

My M&M's...

Tweet

One of my husbands favorite candies are M&M's and this past Christmas while trying to find a unique but great gift for him I was stumped. The girls actually wanted to get him some M&M's since they know that they're his favorite and lucky for me, Mom Central came to the rescue just in time to offer me the chance to check out Personalized M&M's!!!

I thought this would be GREAT to stick in his stocking for Christmas. You can personalize them in so many ways, from just text, to choosing your colors, or even putting pictures on the M&M's. I let the girls help me out in creating their gift to daddy. First stop was to head over to www.mymms.com, the girls decided they wanted to have their pictures on the M&M's so we chose the Faces on M&M's option.

The process was really simple, the girls first picked the colors they wanted, then I uploaded 2 photos, one of Lyric and one of Aria. Then we decided on a message, since we got two photos we were able to have two different messages. The first one would say “I Luv U Daddy” and the second one would say “Lyric & Aria”. The girls had a lot of fun with this process and were so excited. We then edited the photos to make sure they were just right for placement on the candy.

They still look like M&M's just with a little added 'flair' to them, the usual M logo on the one side and then either a picture or text on the other, so there's no mistaking that you've got the original M&M candy in your hands.

This would be a great gift for so many occasions when your stuck for just the right thing. I was thinking, it's too bad we didn't know about these when we got married, or when the girls were born, what great gifts they would have been to have for a wedding with our pictures, and wedding date. Or even for the birth of a baby with their birthday and a photo. The great thing is, you're not just limited to the packaging or the gifts that they have available on the website, you can purchase your personalized M&M's in bulk (think like 5lbs of M&M's) and then bag them up as you see fit..

So if you have a special occasion coming up and you want to impress the heck out of some people check out the My M&M's website for some really fun and unique personalized gifts that will last in people's minds..The M&M's are so great, when my husband got them, he honestly didn't want to eat them he thought they were so cute, but well, he did, we did and they were just as tasty as ever!
