Give Pancake Mix as a Gift

By Ruth Barner Peg

Do you ever have to get a gift for someone and you have no idea what to get? Every once and a while you get invited somewhere or you get a gift from someone and you need to give a gift to someone you barely know let alone know what gift they would like.

Don't worry, there are some great gift ideas out there for when you have no idea what to get. I understand that it can be hard because you don't know what to get but you need to get something.

When you have no idea what to get someone, go with the tested gift, food. Everyone eats, they have to in order to stay alive. This is why it makes such a great gift. Even if the person you give it to doesn't eat it, someone will probably eat it and it's the thought that counts.

What's so great about giving food is that it can be eaten and when it's eaten, it's gone. It's not like when you get home decor that just doesn't match anything in your home or is just plain tacky.

When this happens, you feel awful because you don't want to put it up, but you don't want them to feel bad when they come over and are looking for it. Don't worry, you don't have to be that person.

A great food gift to give is pancakes. Please, don't hand your friends plates of cold, soggy pancakes. You might not have any more friends after that. I'm not talking about IHOP gift certificates either.

Get them some pancake mix and they can make their own delicious pancakes. Don't just pick up a box of Bisquick at the store, get a pretty back of flavored pancake mix like blueberry.

Wrap up a couple bags with a bottle of real maple syrup and a nice dish towel for compliments. They could always use the dish towel as a rag if it doesn't match their kitchen.
