A healthy birthday gift:

Wednesday this week was Teacherman’s birthday and I was at a loss what to get him and celebrate the day midweek - without doing the cake with candles route.

Friday night I was making him dinner (since I get off work early on summer Fridays) and Saturday I got him tickets to a baseball game. But I wanted something special for the actual day of his birthday, then I remembered the Edible Arrangments shop I have passed several times that isn’t far from my house. They are nationwide, so you can order from any where. Since the shop was so close they could deliver that day, even though I didn’t place my order until noon.

The edible arrangement was lovely and fresh. I opted to have only have the strawberries coated with chocolate (I only had one as a special treat). It was a wonderful birthday gift that we could all enjoy and Teacherman was suprised and smiling.

The fruit was awesome, juicy and fresh. The cantelope and pineapple were the best we have had. The chocolate they use is rich and wonderful (they will also dip bananas and pineapple). At there shop they sell jars of the chocolate separately and they have a sugar free version (so you can opt for that on your bouquet also).

There arrangements come in various styles and sizes with different types of containers (I chose the football for my hubby since that is his favorite sport), so the fruit bouquet makes a nice gift for a variety of occasions - such as house warming, dinner parties, and holidays.

So if you are looking for an alternative to a birthday cake or box of chocolates, the fruit bouquet is a nice choice.

My rating: 4 halos

(NOTE: I know the chocolate on the strawberries isn’t “healthy”, but there were only 8 (the other 8 strawberries were not chocolate covered), also it was his birthday and he isn’t on a diet, the arrangements can be purchased without the chocolate.)
