Solo mini birthday celebration
August 8, 2022 9:33 AM Subscribe
A relative is celebrating a milestone birthday (older than 30) in Northern California today. They are a bit sad that they celebrated said event over the weekend with another relative and now there is zero birthday action on the actual day. I am in Sweden, not California. What can I have delivered today that is fun for a solo birthday person? They like movies, crochet, old versions of the SIMs, hate cleaning, hate cooking but like eating. Enjoy iPhone games. I am lost. Any ideas?
Best answer: Cowgirl Creamery Even Cowgirls Get the Blues.

Here are two Northern California local businesses that may have something you will find appealing.
You are an awesome friend!

Seconding Cowgirl Creamery and Farmgirl Flowers. I have had great success with both services. Be aware that they both work better if you order a few days ahead of time.

Send a small cake or some other festive, celebratory dessert! If they're in a relatively populous area you should be able to use a delivery service like Doordash to pick something up and bring it to them, since I gather you want this to arrive specifically today on the actual birthday.

I got flowers from a friend from Farmgirl a couple years ago and can confirm, they are GORGEOUS. Lasted for weeks. This is them, partly opened up.

Just Desserts This was one of my favorite sweet spots back in the day; glad to see that they are still going strong. Happy Birthday, Just Desserts!

I know this is a little late in the day but an Apple Arcade subscription might do the trick for someone who enjoys playing games on their iPhone.
