I'm suggesting the ice cream sandwich maker as well. I'll let you guys know if she decides on any!
 
Maybe you could use the end of the food chopper? But then again, if you were going to do that, I guess you would just use a glass...I vote for the bread tube or cut n seal!
 
I use the cut and seal all the time. I use it as a cookie cutter too.
 
My first thought was the bread tube and such a cute shape too!
