Va Va Va Vosges

Deb Savvy — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 02:40:31 +0000

After a much too brief vacation in France, I’m craving all things haut. While I must concede that the French reign supreme on most culinary delights, there is chocolatier right here in Chicago whose delectable creations rival anything you’ll find in Paris. Or anywhere else on the planet. Vosges Haut-Chocolat

Perfection does not begin to describe these chocolates. Vosges Haut-Chocolat are made from the finest ingredients offered around the world. Owner/Chocolatier, Katrina Markoff, personally chooses every spice, flower and chocolate that comes into their Chicago kitchen. The Vosges Haut-Chocolat mission is to create a luxury chocolate experience rooted in a sensory journey of bringing about awareness to indigenous cultures through the exploration of spices, herbs, roots, flowers, fruits, nuts, chocolate and the obscure.

I popped by the Vosges Haut-Chocolat boutique on Armitage Avenue today. Where else would I go for exotic truffles to bring to a gastronomic wine pairings dinner party? I sampled my way around the selections, finally settling on the Rock & Roll (dark chocolate truffles with clove) and a Balsamic and Hazlenut creation that made me weak at the knees. The y was surprisingly tempting – smoky yet subtle. Not at all what I expected.

If you’re lucky enough to live in or visit a city that includes a Vosges Haut-Chocolat boutique, I strongly suggest you stop by and check it out for yourself. If not, you can shop online and sometimes find Vosges Haut-Chocolat at your local Whole Foods or other luxury food purveyor.

Vosges Haut-Chocolat definitely fall into the ‘very expensive’ category – with prices comparable to most other ultra-luxury chocolates, but they are well worth the splurge. Especially for a special occasion. My truffles will be the perfect finishing touch to a lovely evening of wining and dining.

Getting Potted

Deb Savvy — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 03:54:54 +0000

It’s still a bit too early in the season to do much outdoor gardening other than clean-up, but it’s not too soon at all to get some beautiful containers planted and ready to enjoy once the weather improves.

I’m absolutely enamored with these eden planters I found over at Chiasso.

The larger one is $98; the smaller sells for $68.

Check them out at Chiasso, along with a lot more beautiful decorative pieces for the garden, elegant gifts for any occasion and exquisite modern furniture as well.

Crystal Cravings

Deb Savvy — Thu, 01 May 2008 20:41:51 +0000

I browsed a lot of crystal when I was in Paris and Madrid last month. Lots of crystal. I visited Baccarat and Lalique. All the biggies. And a lot of smaller crystal makers, too. The one brand that sparkled brighter than the rest this trip was Swarovski . The stores are impeccably merchandised, which totally highlighted the beauty of each piece. And their new collections are SPECTACULAR! Especially the jewelry and gift items.

From whimsical butterflies to simple geometrics, their crystal jewelry and accessories are one of my top picks for luxury gift items this season. Perfect for Mother’s Day or just about any other occasion. And, by the way, there’s no reason to exclude yourself from your gift giving list. Indulge yourself. You deserve it.

Can’t Go Wrong Gifts of Chocolate

Deb Savvy — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 07:58:00 +0000

It’s true that in many circles the Brits are not known for their fine cuisine. But there are exceptions to every rule. And we’ve found one such exception. Hotel Chocolat began 14 years ago in the UK, when co-founders Angus Thirlwell and Peter Harris embarked on a journey to reset the stakes of the chocolate market in terms of quality, variety and inspiration. A mail-order catalog preceded their award-winning Web site and retail stores across the UK. The unbeatable combination of authentic premium ingredients with imagination and flair has translated into success in the UK and beyond. Hotel Chocolat is now bringing its luxury chocolate to the States.

If you’re looking for gifts of unbeatable chocolate bliss, look no further. And if you’re a true chocolate freak – don’t wait for anyone else to send a taste – indulge yourself with some chocolate bliss today. And don’t forget to check out The Purist’s Library – Pure Chocolate from Hotel Chocolat

An Unusual and Perfect Wedding Gift

Deb Savvy — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 01:02:07 +0000

Sometimes it’s really hard to come up with a memorable wedding gift. This is particularly if the bride and groom are a bit older and better established – it’s not as if they need towels or a toaster anymore. And I think a really great wedding gift is memorable. Something just unusual enough that the happy couple will always remember where it came from yet not so unusual to be quirky or kitschy. I also think a perfect wedding gift must be elegant, romantic and symbolic of the occasion.

Like this “Happiness Vase” -by artist Richard S. Jones. Blown glass is hand painted with the Chinese characters for happiness in enamel and silver leaf. The vase measures about 6 inches across and 8 inches high so it will hold a nice sized bouquet or make a lovely imression on it’s own. I think it would be nice with some black river rocks and a few sprays of orchids. Wow! It’s $250 at Artful Home where you can shop the largest selection of contemporary art glass online. Explore an incredible selection of art glass vases and other perfect gifts for weddings and just about any other occasion. Prices begin at well under $100 for art glass and other gifts.

Say It With Bubbles

Champagne is the perfect symbol of celebration and makes a terrific gift for many occasions. It’s more festive than a bottle of wine or gift basket. A great bottle of champagne urges the recipient to do one of two things – either pop the cork immediately and celebrate or plan a special celebratory evening around the champagne. Either way, you’ve provided the backbone for a lovely little party. For a great selection of champagne gifts or to send a bottle of champagne, check out this specialist in bubbly. Cheers!

Champagne can be a great gift choice for clients and colleages. Also a wonderful wedding or engagement gift.
