ideas on how/where to order birthday gifts to be delivered?

Question

i want to get my friend a strawberry cheesecake but i dont know who to order it from that delivers... and how do i know if its gonna get there in one piece or even taste good?

OR

maybe sending a gift box of decorated cookies would be a better idea?

i dont want to embarrass him at work with flowers and balloons so im leaning more towards food for him.

can u help with ideas on WHO to order from or ANY OTHER suggestions other than cheesecake or cookies?
(he lives in arkansas and i live in houston)

Answer 1

Check on Amazon.com. You wouldn't believe the stuff they have now. A man I know just had a case of Hamburger Helper delivered to his younger brother (don't ask).

Answer 2

There are bakeries in Arkansas that you could call to place your order, that way the gift isn't going to be shipped, only delivered across town. I'd suggest some kind of coffee cake or strudel, unless he's really big on cheesecake. A strudel has less chance of looking like it has been demolished if the trip goes bad. :)

Answer 3

look up local caterers in his area, also try to find some bakeries online. If they have a decent website, look it over, give them a call if you have any questions. If they seem to know what theyre talking about and can deliver, I say go for it. It may be slightly difficult to find out whether the food will be good or not, but if theyre an established company, chances are they know what they are doing any your present should be well received!

Answer 4

I like to shop on eBay for unique things just have them ship it to him. You can e-mail back and forth so you could even get them to wrap it.

Answer 5

Try Figi's. I order from there and I've never had a problem
