Give the Best This Year With Amano Chocolates

October 27, 2008 | Posted by bLavish as Holiday Gift Ideas, Luxury Gifts at 10:00 am | Comments off

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.

A sword that was given as a wedding gift to his brother by Napoleon in 1805 has been auctioned off for $6.4 million.  The auction took place in Paris & the buyer has of yet remained unidentified.

The sword was actually carried by Napoleon before he was emperor into the Battle of Marengo back in June of 1800.  The weapon was declared a national treasure by France in 1978 which means that if it was ever sold to a foreign buyer, they have to remain in France for five months out of the year.  Not too bad a deal, eh?

What About Some John Steinbeck for Mother’s Day?

May 9, 2007 | Posted by bLavish as Luxury Gifts at 10:22 am | Comments off

Amid boxes & inside a cardboard box itself, some of writer John Steinbeck’s letters have been found. Among the effects of the late Guys and Dolls producer, Ernest H. Martin, letters of the author have been located as well as a missing draft of Sweet Thursday.

So, to be short, this is a piece of Steinbeck history that has been recovered. And just in time for a Mother’s Day auction. PBA Galleries in San Francisco will be auctioning off these gems on May 24. The almost lost lot is worth an estimate of $300,000 to $500,000.
