Jack Ruby Tonic

If you are a gin and tonic drinker, then you will love this small batch artisan tonic syrup. It contains cane sugar, orange peel, lemongrass and quinine and will add more body and depth to your drink with a cool citrus kick.

Chantilly Berry Cake & Cookies Con Amore

The Chantilly Berry Cake from Whole Foods is one of my all-time favorites and has been my birthday cake of choice for many years now. It's made with almond sponge cake and layers of cream and berries. This cake is light, flavorful, and has just the right amount of sweetness.

I also received a box of Cookies Con Amore for my birthday this year. These Italian cookies are handmade and created with good, fresh ingredients. This would be a cute and yummy gift for any cookie connoisseur.
