Philly as a Gift

With wedding season upon us, it’s time to shell out the dough for that perfect gift for the happy couple. You could do the norm and pick something from the registry like a toaster or a set of coasters, or you could go against the grain and give them something you know they really want, CREAM CHEESE. Nothing says love like Philadelphia cream cheese, and just imagine the happy couple frolicking on the beach during their honeymoon, feeding each other from the same tub of Philly. I know, it brings tears to my eyes too.

Here are some creative ideas to pull off the perfect wedding gift for the bride and groom. Nothing is more universal, versatile, or beautiful than a piece of art, because it comes from the heart. Why not sculpt the bride and grooms likeness out of Philadelphia cream cheese; you could do the groom in original flavor and the bride in mixed berry. Not only will they love looking at it they can snack on it during the reception or in the getaway car.

The next idea is inspired by one of my favorite movies of the last year, Juno. I loved the scene where she stuffed all those orange tic tacs into her boyfriend’s mailbox. Take a note from the movie and fill your favorite couple’s mailbox with Philly! It may not make the mail man too happy, but the bride and groom will be so surprised.

Take Philly to the bridal shower too. Forget the edible chocolate body paint. Give tubs of Philly (in various flavors) and throw in a few paint brushes into a decorative basket and wrap with a big bow. The couple is sure to have fun with this on their wedding night. Throw some bagels in there too, in case they work up an appetite.

Use your imagination and a little Philly and you are sure to come up with an amazing gift.
