Lucky those who like the run of the mill, plain vanilla options in the ice cream counter of life. My husband hardly dares to ask what I might possibly want as a birthday present. He knows that I have just too many exotic, bursting with flavour ideas in this department. So let me share with you some precious little creations that will surprise - in the best possible way - your loved one. Don't be like my friend's husband, who in a rush the day before Christmas, bought her the same ring as last year. "Well I knew you liked it," was his fumbling reply when she looked at him perplexed, the open box in front of her. Dare to be original if your loved one is not one to go for the safe bets.
