The Chocolate Tower Gift
The Chocolate Tower Gift
Shop : Biens Chocolate Happy Birthday Truffle Tower from Simply Chocolate
For all you chocolate truffle lovers out there, get ready to take your birthday to new heights. Fifty, yes, 50, milk chocolate cake truffles, which are dipped in milk, white, or dark chocolate, are the stars of this gift tower. One of the best things about this gift is that the truffles do not need to refrigeration so you can leave them out on your counter, staring at you, daring you to eat one, just one a day, for the next 50 days. Are you up for the challenge? Oh, wait, they only last up to two weeks, so you better be up for eating three-and-a-half truffles per day.

Shop : Cheryl’s Celebration Cookie Gift Box from Cheryl's Cookies
Eight is certainly enough when it comes to celebrating a birthday with cookies. The Celebration Cookie Gift Box will help your loved one from stealing cookies from the cookie jar, unless, of course, these cookies are inside said jar. With types like chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, and a whole bunch of buttercream frosted ones, you better hire a security guard to watch over the cookie jar.

Before there were digital voices, like Alexa and Siri, that could wish you a happy birthday, there were analog gifts that had the message waiting for you to read. These delightful chocolate-covered strawberries, hand-dipped in Belgian dark chocolate, wish the recipient a "Happy Birthday" in white chocolate lettering. Who knew fruit could be so eloquent... and literate?
