Edible Chocolate Flowers: The Perfect Gift
My sister and I are very close. That is why I was thrilled when we had children that were only 11 months apart. My son is younger and he absolutely adores his older cousin. They spend a lot of time together, and as they have aged, that time has morphed from simple play to attending each other's school events and sporting games.
My niece recently began taking piano lessons. Last week, she had her very first recital. She called to invite us to her event, and she was very excited to perform for her family. Naturally, my son was thrilled to go, and he told me that he wanted to pick out something special to give to his cousin after her performance.
We brainstormed for a long time about what to get for her. Nothing seemed quite right. As the recital date drew closer, I was a little frustrated that we did not have a gift. However, when we randomly went out to the mall to pick up a set of summer clothing items for my son, we stumbled upon the perfect gift.
My niece, like much of her family, has a sweet tooth. I had considered getting her a candy bar or something similar from the store, but that just did not seem special enough. At the mall, however, we came across edible chocolate flowers. They were perfect! The candy was special enough for her event and looked delicious at the same time. My son was so excited to pick up one for her.
Her recital was incredible. Not only did she play at a pretty special "venue," but she did a wonderful job with her song selection. She was the second child to play, so we waited for several of her peers to perform as well before we were able to congratulate her. When the recital was over, my son took her edible flower to her, hugged her and congratulated her. The look on her face was priceless! She was thrilled with her gift and could not wait to eat it. Although I did not get one for myself, she proclaimed it "awesome," so I know it tasted as great as it looked.
I now know what my "go to" gift will be for my little niece. She is involved in a lot of different activities, so I am sure this will not be the last time that I need to pick up something for her! http://chocobouquets53.jigsy.com/chocolate-gifts-of-all-kinds-for-all-occasions
