Chocri Customized Chocolate Bars

If you or your boss wants to get someone a fun sweet treat, chocolate bars you can customize seem like a unique and fun idea.

Now Your Face Will Melt In Your Mouth, Not In Your Hand

If you have never sent custom M&M's to someone, you should. It's a great little gift and it isn't insanely expensive. I did them last year for my sister when she got married (I put Soon To Be Mrs. and her new last name on them) and she adored them. It's just a nice little way to put a twist on a classic and make it more surprising. Now you can even put any image onto an M&M. Imagine it, instead of your name up in lights, you can have your face on a piece of candy. At least until someone eats your face. I swear there's a movie idea in there somewhere -Chocolate Zombies From Hell, maybe? My writer friend Jordan came up with something better, not a movie title, but more of a tagline for the candy - Feed Your Inner Cannibal and Eat Your Face. Okay, he wins.

More Rare Short Postings :)

Okay, so as I said no long rambling postings today. I know all (10 of you?) who read the blog love the long ones, but you'll survive. I've gone on at length about the key thing for me with gifts is something fun, unexpected and unique. One place I like to order from that people really seem to like is Elenis. They are in NYC and deliver locally there, but ship anywhere. They can do custom cookies, but they do a bunch of different types of already cleverly designed cookies in a variety of themes. I blogged regarding the golf cookies here before, but I also love this cookie set to give to someone who is in NYC or going to visit. If someone isn't feeling well, you can send these. I do also like this other company that does custom designed cookies of all sorts.

Custom Swooshapalooza

For some time now Nike has had something called NIKEiD (it looks weird, but that is how the logo is supposed to be) that's pretty cool. You can go on their website or give someone a gift certificate to make a custom pair of shoes. For the right sports fanatic or even just someone who likes to get outside and/or exercises regularly, this is a fantastic gift. I just read this month that Nike has upped the ante and now there is one speciality NIKEiD location in SOHO where you can can do something called NIKEiD Bespoke (scroll down a tiny bit) that is even more custom and you get to have a consultation with a Nike designer. The great thing about this type of gift is that it's an experience and a gift. I'm not sure yet if you can give this as a gift certificate, but I'm guessing it's pretty likely. I've heard it costs upwards of eight hundred dollars, so hopefully you have a big budget or your company is buying the gift for an actor that makes the studio millions :)
