Milestone Birthdays

Here's my favorite gift idea for someone who's celebrating a milestone birthday. I like to give a combo of something classic and something campy; a bottle of champagne plus something fun and retro like Pez, a squirt gun, bottle of bubbles, yo-yo (that's a Chinese yo-yo pictured below with silly straws), those button candies on paper, Pixie Stix, or other things you haven't thought about since you were a kid.

The gift tag would say, "Something to make you feel young and something to make you feel grown up." 'Cause it's true.

Piece of Cake

Gift-giving is a piece of cake when you give a Bento Box Gift!

Celebrate a birthday or other cake-worthy event with Cake and Karma. Give a slice of chocolate layer cake that's a squeezable stress toy in disguise. The box also contains a bundle of candles plus Japanese wish paper. Priced at just under $5, it costs less than some greeting cards! Shop online at Funky Finds to get your cake (scroll down to see it).
