Valentine’s Day is coming up quickly, again. You know what that means; flowers and chocolates!
So today I bring you chocolate, and I’m not messing around this time. ZChocolat has quite possibly the World’s best chocolates, as far as I can tell. I was just clicking around their site and it’s seriously impressive stuff. See the little assortment in the drawer in the picture there? I thought that the brown and white things were little boxes that the chocolate came in, but no, that is the chocolate! Each one is individually numbered with a real nice font.
Since I can’t come anywhere close to typing something as magical as they have, here’s what ZChocolat has to say about this 30 piece Mahogany set:
Chocolate Reflections. A very wise man once mused Fortunate is the chocolate thus roaming the world through women’s smiles finds its death over a flavorful and melting kiss in their mouths. This quote by Anthelme Brillat-Savarin comes to life in a most sumptuous way as the 30 chocolates in this selection are unveiled. Two drawers open to reveal a magnificent display of handmade chocolates held in a beautiful mahogany box that is adorned with the French version of Monsieur Savarin’s words. An evening of chocolate and poetry has never been so inviting.
See? So if you have the funds (I know I don’t) and want to show your true love how much she means to you, and if she loves chocolate, then do it the right way!
Even if you don’t plan on buying any, go check out the site here. It’s crazy impressive for a chocolate site.
Here is a more practical gift idea than what I usually put up here. Perhaps it’s because I’m at my desk, which happens to magically gain clutter over time. It’s crazy how it happens!
Do you know somebody like me? Maybe if I had some of these desk organizers this auto-clutter feature of my desk would turn off. Hmm, maybe I’ll get some for myself because they’re half price right now. Woo!
They are made of faux (yes, fake) leather and come in red, black, or brown. The size is 6″ x 6.25″ x 12″ so there is ample room for paper and big envelopes and what not.
While you’re over at Wrapables, check out their other stuff. There are quite a bit of spiffy things to browse. Clickity click here to help somebody organize their desk.
Over the holiday season I had a chance to play the New Super Mario Brothers game for the Nintendo Wii. My goodness it was awesome! It looks and feels a lot like Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, and Super Mario World all combined.
So what makes this one so awesome? Well, of course there is a whole new group of worlds and levels, but there are all kinds of new things as well. If you play multi-player, you get to play at the same time. When I played, it was two of us playing together. You can pick up and throw each other to help get through parts of the level. We found, however, that it was more fun to pick each other up and then proceed to throw the player into a bad guy or down a hole. Good fun!
There are new costumes for the players, and you can play as the traditional Mario and Luigi as well as a couple differently colored Toadstool characters. The fun really doesn’t end. And if you’re like me and would rather play using your thumbs than swinging the controller around, don’t worry, this is played with the classic style controller. There is a bit of shaking involved, but it isn’t extraneous.
So go over to Target.com and pick this game up for you or a friend!
