Why are donuts a good choice for teens, Him and Her? Sweets are often great choices for birthdays. If you can not get a cake or cupcakes for The Birthday One, donuts are the next best thing. The sweet, indulgent bakery good is often a delightful treat especially for the morning, or it can be considered as a nice snack.

If you purchase half a dozen, a dozen, or more, it can also be shared with others if there are other people, such as at work or a party. If you don’t want to share with others, one or two donuts just for the Birthday One is already a nice treat. Donut holes is also another simple option.

The best thing to do is to get the donuts that the Birthday One likes. However, if you do not know the Birthday One’s taste, it does not really matter. You can always purchase a mix of donuts, and there is bound to be one that the Birthday One would like.

Some donut shops like to artistically decorate the donuts. The normal birthday suitable ones are the ones with the sprinkles! If you want to be creative, you can get some birthday decorations or candles and put it on the donuts to make it a donut birthday cake. If you don’t want to give donuts directly or do not have time to select the donuts, you can also purchase a gift card at the donut shops.

However, if the Birthday One is on a diet or does not like sweet or high-calorie foods, it may be best to think of other gift ideas.

Where can you get donuts? There are many local donut shops in town, but the popular Dunkin’ Donuts, Shipleys, and Krispe Cremes should always be around the corner. Technology is so advance that donuts can be ordered online as well. The bakery at grocery stores often makes donuts too.

If you are on a budget, you can get just one or two donuts rather than getting half a dozen or more. Donut holes make a nice treat that is generally less than $2. Donuts are generally less than $1.50 at popular shops. The grocery store may offer donuts at lower prices and older donuts at discounted prices. There are also powdered donuts that are packaged at the gas station if you need something quick.

**NOTE OF CAUTION: Be cautionary about any allergies that the Birthday One may have. *
