Balloons, Cake, and a Fendi for Everyone

My son and my birthday’s are just one week apart and the big days are approaching. He will be six and I will be… much older. Would it be tacky for me to ask for a joint present? Because I thought we both might enjoy the Fendi Artist baguette.

Lest you think I’m selfish, let me explain. My son is an aspiring artist and at the risk of sounding like on of those mothers, he is quite gifted. He even had two pieces of his work commissioned for the school art show last month: a multimedia piece (construction paper, glue and images cut from a magazine) and a crayon on paper sketch.

The Fendi Artist is a plain white canvas baguette. But it comes with ten permanent Pantone markers so buyers can create personalized designs. Wouldn’t it be fabulous if I had a one-of-a-kind baguette covered in Magic Marker dinosaurs? And how fun for my son to be able to draw Mommy a picture that won’t just get stuck to the refrigerator door. I’m sure he’ll love it.

Now that I have the gifts covered, I can start planning our joint party. I was thinking of serving a fromage blanc tart and a meyer lemon confit. I’m sure he’ll love it.
