Zero-Calorie Holiday Foods

The Inflatable Fruitcake

The inflatable fruitcake is the perfect gift to send for diet-conscious recipients or even those with nut allergies! It sure saves a whole lot of effort baking for Christmas, plus there are no freshness or crumb issues. As the website says, "Nobody eats them anyway!" Blow one up and put it on the dining table for all to admire and not have to eat.

It packs down flat and needs no special packaging other than an ordinary envelope. It's a great gag gift that the website suggests is reusable and re-giftable!
