Buy Cupcakes Online!
Last week I was racking my brain to think of what to get my one of my best girlfriends for her birthday, and I came up with the idea of buying cupcakes online. She is EXTREMELY difficult to shop for, because she has picky tastes and she owns every designer bag already! Plus, I was a bit strapped for cash, it being post-holidays and all. I decided to get her delicious cupcakes delivered to her work! Not only would it give her a quick break from a job she hates, but it shows my appreciation for her friendship.
The best part about gifting cupcakes? You can personalize it for cheap or for no extra cost. Choose her favorite colors for the frosting, and get the "bakers" to write a message. I went for an online cupcake shop, just because I didn't have much time to go cupcake hunting, my car was trapped in 7 inches of snow, and doing things online is so much more convenient!

Babycakes is probably my favorite on this list. They are extremely unique because all of their cupcakes are free of refined sugar, gluten free, soy free, and vegan!?

The store looks adorable!
