My day was made when I received a surprise box from Vosges with a few samples from their Easter 2010 line of goodies. Including this yummy Amalfi Bunny (lemon zest + pink peppercorns + white chocolate) and these delicious Bacon and Eggs (soft bacon caramel + dark chocolate). Can’t wait to dig in! PS: The rest of the Easter line is equally drool-worthy!
My mom has a collection of mini milk bottles from her hometown. I love the thick glass and raised ink of the logos. And I think that’s what draws me to this packaging from Ocean Avenue. Although the pretty colors and likelihood of tastiness are also high on my radar! {via The Dieline}
I’m what you might call, oh, obsessed with this packaging for Gelati Sky by Truly Deeply. Obsessed.
These heart macaroons made by Two Hearts Bakery for Williams-Sonoma look absolutely mouthwatering. And with Valentine’s Day being only a month from yesterday, they might just be the perfect sweet treat to send off to that someone special. Or that friend who rocks. Or (ahem) yourself.
Have you seen these deliciously vintage themed bottles for Schweppes? You can only get a hold of them in select bars, cafes and restaurants. The series includes Ginger Ale, Lemonade, Soda Water and Indian Tonic Water. Stunning work by Australia’s DeDonato. {via The Dieline}
I can’t read a syllable on 32 Via dei Birrai’s site, but I’d still like to drink all seven varieties after work tonight and keep the bottles.
Not this year, but hopefully next, I plan on going 100% handmade with all of my presents. As in, handmade by me. It’s a big undertaking, but I’ve been gathering ideas for a few months and know it’s totally do-able. My latest find: DIY flavored sugars. (PS: Don’t you just love how she wrapped them?!}
What a great idea from ticings – peel and press cake decorations. Their frosting sheets merge with soft frosting to create photographic quality art that won’t drag when it’s cut. Talk about looking like you slaved over something for hours! {via Something Old, Something New}
I’m tempted to make a batch of these little Hot Chocolate on a Stick sweets because they’re way too cute for their own good and I think they’d be great stocking stuffers. But I’m pretty sure I’ll be hard-pressed not to just eat them like lollipops before they ever find their ways to my gift listers. {via the kitchn}
I plan on making a heap of these S’mores kits to give to the mailman, my hairdresser and some other lucky souls as gifts. It’s amazing how deconstructing something and putting it in cute little boxes can look so professional! {via Twig & Thistle}
