Give the Best This Year With Amano Chocolates

October 27, 2008 | Posted by Allison as Holiday Gift Ideas, Luxury Gifts at 10:00 am | (1) Comment »

The fact that Amano means “by hand” & “they love” in Italian, says how serious Amano takes their chocolate.

Back in 1996 while on vacay, the founder of Amano Chocolates, Art Pollard, decided it was high time the U.S. had something more delicious than Mars bars.  Taking on the mission to create artisan chocolate, Art delved into the cacao process, and boy was it worth it.

With the help of traditional machinery and lots of love, Art creates small bathes of his artisan chocolates high in Utah’s Wasatch Mountain range.  From the Madagascar premium dark chocolate with its hint of citrus to the sensuous Ocumare with its deep, rich flavors, Art Pollard should never fear to go on vacation more.

One taste of these 70% minimum cacao bars will have you giving Hershey the boot this holiday season.  So, let them know you really love them this year with Amano.

Well, the holidays are right around the corner & I know you’re ready for them.  But if you still have room for some improvement on that Christmas list of yours, take a look at these beautiful Precious Gems Christmas Ornaments from the legendary Waterford company.

These lovely ornaments are designed by Jim O’Leary & made of optic glass decorated with gold glitter topped with gold-plated caps.  I feel like if you’re going to use the word ‘Gems’ in your Christmas ornament description, they had better have some precious gems, but these babies do not unfortunately; these ornaments are just “inspired” by the gemstone colors.  Too bad & so sad.  Cost, $40 - $60.
