juanadeal Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm fresh outta ideas and time. Can anyone help me with ideas for a gift for a diabetic? $50 range. Gift card to a website, gift basket, etc... It's for my father. Over the years, I've already gotten him cookbooks with choose the recipes and I'll bake them gifts, for Father's Day, my kids and I made him SF cookies and surprised him at work with them, stuff like that. I'm just at a loss. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanadeal Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Figi's has a lot of sugar free stuff.Thanks ladies. My father is more of a chocolate and bakef goods person but the jelly belly site did give me an idea for someone else. autumnroser, have you ordered from figis before? I'm thinking of going with the ribs (2 #'s for $18) and the SF fudge. Found a code for free shipping and it comes with 6 free gifts. Not too shabby if it's a good site.

My grandmother and aunt are both diabetic, and it just so happens my little sister works there! Their SF stuff is delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanadeal Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Thanks for all the tips eveyone. I went ahead and got the ribs and fudge from figis since my father had me make ribs everytime they came this summer. Just alittle something to hold him over until spring. Well, I ordered on Friday and didn't get confirmation until Sunday. I came super close to calling and cancelling thinking I wouldn't get it in time but it shipped Sunday night and got here on Tuesday. Now that's some good service:yup: The ribs aren't as big as I thought. I got 2lbs and imagined they would be like those Flinstones ribs. The fudge looks good and I got petit fours for my family. OMG they're good!!!! I wish I had gotten more as gifts. There's always next year. I have the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory bookmarked for Father's day though:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
