 When it comes to sweet decadence, chocolate stands head and shoulders above other candy confections with its delightfully smooth, rich, and creamy sweetness that can only be achieved by using high quality chocolate. Neuhaus has been making luxurious chocolates in Belgium since 1857, and as my mother always says, practice makes perfect. Sumptuous gorgeous gems of chocolate presented in the impressive Neuhaus Holiday Premium Box may be the perfect gift for the chocolate lovers on your gift list. You may want to buy for an extra box or two for yourself though to ensure that the recipients receive their gift boxes fully intact. |

 Passionate about beautiful linens, I recently "discovered" Attiser, a company that makes gorgeous handcrafted bedding and linens, and was thrilled to make their acquaintance. Founded by Seema A, head designer and creative director in Menlo Park, California, Attiser linens are handcrafted in India and designed to appeal to the senses and draw compliments from guests. I love how I can change the "personality" of my indoor and outdoor dining spaces by simply dressing the table with linens to match my theme of the moment, and Attiser has a rich diversity of high-quality offerings.

 As a lover of wine and food, I found The Psychology of Wine, Truth and Beauty By The Glass by Evan Mitchell and Brian Mitchell published by PRAEGER, an Imprint of ABC-CLIO to be a revelation if you will; similar to that of appreciating a bottle of excellent wine, in that it should be read slowly, allowing time to savor each experience, remember the nuances, and then reference back to it like a favorite label or vintage.
