Personalized Fortune Cookies for Baby Showers

Hey all! It's been a bit since my last post and for that I apologize. Right now I am six months pregnant with my first child and it is tough figuring out everything you need for a newborn. Once you figure it out and get a decent list... it almost seems worse! There are at least a 100 types of strollers, car seats, bottles, swings and bouncers and I am finding it difficult to figure out which one to get.

In the stores, I pull strollers off the shelves, take them apart and put them together again to see how difficult this will be once the baby is here. Then you have your registry, and the baby shower, and the childbirth preparation classes. Wow! I don't know about you but help would be great.

So below I have put together some links and resources for all the other soon to be moms out there and even for those of you that are moms and have even more to juggle and more experience.


First, lets talk baby showers. Since a baby is the most fortunate gift of all, why not share your good fortune with some personalized fortune cookies! The blueberry fortune cookies are perfect for a boy and the raspberry fortune cookies are SO cute for a little girl! Personalized fortune cookies are great birth announcements, baby shower favors, christening favors, and could even be used for fun baby shower games.

Next week I will have a great list of resources for expectant moms. But something I did run a cross that was pretty cool is Oprah wants you to share what you have been given at your baby showers. The worst gifts and the best gifts.

What is your idea of the PERFECT gift for an expectant mom? Share it with us!

Calling All Charities

Okay, I'm new to blogging, but thanks to one of our customers, yes you Jeffrey, we have put together this blog to give you some instant ideas on great uses for custom fortune cookies.

So for my first blog, I decided to start off big!

We do TONS of cookies every year for various charities. People like The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation, and many others. Not only do we give away thousands of cookies a year, but we also give discounts to charities. And most of our cookie colors go great with logo and event colors.

So if you are with a charity or organizing a charity event give me a call, mention the blog, and I will give you 10% off your order.

Most recently I got a call from Anna at Ronald McDonald House Charities who needed 400 chocolate dipped cookies for their Asian themed gala fundraiser dinner. They did 10 different messages and I have included a few samples below.

We make a living by what we get,
we make a life by what we give.

Children are the only form of
immortality that we can be sure of.

Generosity is one of
your outstanding traits.

Anna sent us a testimonial and here is what she had to say:

The cookies were excellent and added such a great effect to our Asian themed night. They not only tasted great, but we loved the chocolate dipped flavor. It adds a great touch to a normal fortune cookie. Your staff was very helpful, and we loved the fortunes we picked to have in the cookies! Nothing could have been better. Thank you!!!
