Peace, Love & Chocolate

I can't think of many things better than chocolate and books. So, that's what I'll be giving for Christmas this year. Fortunately, most of my friends agree.

There's also the option of challenging your mind while satisfying your chocolate craving – all at once. Vosges Haut-Chocolate has some of the most interesting flavor combinations around. Chocolate and chile? Chocolate and anise? How edgy! Founder Katrina Markoff was recently named a "chocolate visionary" by Food & Wine Magazine, and she's got to be one smart lady. The concept and marketing is very clever, the packaging is pretty and the chocolates are organic and out-of-this-world scrumptious.

And how fitting that she also offers Exotic Chocolate Bar Libraries. I'll need to have some custom mini-bookshelves fitted for my kitchen to hold the entire collection, as I'll want to do lots of studying in this library!

Wonderful chocolates. I think they make very elegant gifts..., being Swiss I'm spoiled that way with Teuscher Pralines and so many others. Merry and Sweet Christmas!

I don't think that one can ever go wrong with books or chocolates!

I LOVE vosges! We have a client who gives us a large box of it for the past 2 years. I hope he does again this year! They also come so beautifully packaged -I love the big purple ribbon!

Maya & Patricia - chocolates and books are hard to beat, aren't they? There is almost always something for everyone.

Stefan - lucky you! And I agree about the packaging. I'm always a sucker for great package design.
