Stop outside of Chapelfield mall for carnations, 75p each for 6 ("Cost more 'cause of the holiday, sorrey," the vendor said, as if 4.50 GBP was going to break my soul). 2. Go to Hotel Chocolat for AMAZING chocolate. 3. Head to your local wine vendor, for a bottle of cheap but pleasant shiraz to go with said chocolate. 4. Distribute the carnations and chocolate to your girls, watching their faces light up because they also do not have men. 5. Go back to your room and watch "Hitch," while eating the remaining chocolates and drinking that whole bottle of shiraz... alone. (Queue sad Charlie Brown music...) Point is, Hotel Chocolat has a fantastic array of chocolates, from my favourite espresso-flavored, to decadent truffles. The gift boxes are also amazing, and can be ordered for various occasions (though I must say that I ADORE that they made "self-indulgence" an occasion). The best bit about Hotel Chocolat is that it's not a cutesy candy store; it's a chic, sexy, modern chocolate shop. NBs, the sales people were not always so knowledgeable about chocolate itself (which I thought would have been an asset), and they insisted that they didn't take Scottish currency... in case I had any, I guess. (p.s. I'm pleased to report that Hotel Chocolat is now available in the States! Yayyy!)

Last Christmas he bestowed upon me a lovely little white box of mixed truffles made locally in Colchester. I love gifts, I love chocolate, and I love local, so it was splendid. I waited until well after my return Stateside before diving in because I know me and chocolate - we begin and end quickly. The truffles were wonderfully indulgent, not large, and just the right amount of sweet when you need to treat yourself. Have to many and you go to far. Minerva has done a wonderful job of making it just right. All the flavors were grand such as vanilla, strawberry champagne, salted caramel and others. Some were dusted lightly on the outside as well. The flavors were lovely. I highly recommend just picking yourself up a small box, it's all you need, and indulging once in a while in these hand made lovelies.
