Giant Fortune Cookie: Gift For Valentine Surprises

Choose a giant fortune cookie gift for Valentine surprises! If your loved ones are used to receiving a box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers from you on Valentine's Day, why not stir things up a bit? What do people love even more than receiving gifts? Receiving "surprise" gifts!

Nothing seems to delight the human spirit more than a pleasant surprise. It makes people smile and laugh. A surprise is an automatic mood brightener. And if you are the person giving the "surprise" gift, you get the added enjoyment of watching other people's responses.

The great thing about a gigantic fortune cookie is that no one is ever expecting one. You can hand someone a box tied with lovely ribbon, and they'll be pleased to be receiving a gift. They'll smile, be polite and say thank you. And if it's Valentine's Day, they'll usually be expecting chocolates.

They will continue to smile as they untie the ribbon and open the box. But then, instead of seeing a collection of chocolate truffles, they see that gigantic fortune cookie. Suddenly the smile explodes into a broad grin and you'll hear peals of happy laughter.

It's all about creating that element of "surprise" on Valentine's Day. You just don't normally associate the day with "fortune cookies"... until you've received one for a Valentine gift. And once it happens to you, you will forever remember the Valentine's Day that you received the gigantic fortune cookie. It's quite a remarkable and memorable gift!

So take a few minutes to think about who is on your Valentine's list this year that you want to make sure remembers you? Gift giving on Valentine's Day is not limited only to lovers. Giant fortune cookies are appropriate for a lot of different situations. They make great funny and playful gifts for early in a relationship (or for later in the relationship when only something unexpected will do). They make great Valentine's gifts for kids, who are always delighted with anything that comes in a "giant" size. And they make wonderful gifts of appreciation for employees or bosses. People of all ages, creeds, genders and political beliefs are always delighted to receive their giant fortune cookie.

You can choose traditional Valentine's colors (red, pink, or white), or take the element of surprise one step further. Order your custom cookie with purple sprinkles or yellow smiley faces. Choose the recipient's favorite colors and favorite chocolate: White chocolate with blue sprinkles? Dark chocolate with green sprinkles? As long as you give your gift on February 14th, it officially counts as a gift for Valentine's Day.

And don't forget that you also have the opportunity to compose your own custom message. You can make that surprising too. If you're not a poet yourself, let other poets speak for you. Do a search online for "public domain poetry" and find one that expresses how you feel. Choose lyrics from a favorite song, or quote a famous person from history. Make your message heartfelt, funny or inspirational. Or, in keeping with the fortune cookie theme, make it a message of good fortune.
