Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A set of adorable little crocheted chocolate bonbons, with a rich chocolate scent.
Why we love it:
There are those who enjoy an occasional chocolate confection, there are those who profess a certain love of the cacao bean, there are (we're told) even those who don't find that delectable little dessert item pleasant on their palate, and then there are those for whom chocolate goes beyond mere flavor sensation, to something we might even call (were we psychiatric professionals) an obsession. It is for these noble (albeit nutty) souls that our latest cool gift is really meant. You would need an above average dedication to cocoa to truly appreciate these tiny crocheted bonbons. There are four in all, presented in a box just like real bonbons, but these are cunningly fashioned out of yarn. They even smell eatable... edible... like chocolate. These little sachets will create a chocolate aroma for months to come, even better than the real thing! You may have to talk your chocolate-loving friend out of eating them, they smell so good, but once they give in they'll definitely appreciate being able to bring that sweet scent with them, absolutely calorie-free.
