Tresor Paris has created two special limited edition bracelets for this Valentines Day 2012.  These will both delight and surprise your loved one immensely on this romantic occasion.

Aptly named Amour and Je’taimé these bespoke bracelets will make that special someone feel even more special.  They are completely gorgeous and quality oozes from them!

The Amour bracelet is made up of 20 red crystal spheres and finished with a silver heart shaped charm.  Similar to the iconic Neptune design, the Amour bracelet shows off sparkling red crystals to perfection.  The Tibetan cord runs through each sphere giving it that classic 1950’s look – I love it!  This Amour bracelet (black cord) costs £169.

The Je’taimé bracelet has the trademark Tresor Paris Tibetan cord with a hand finished red heart shaped sphere.  It looks simple, elegant, and I’m sure very striking on her wrist!  This Je’taimé bracelet costs a more affordable £29.

The Amour and Je’taime bracelets are available for a limited time.  Don’t worry if you miss out on them as Tresor Paris has further delectable products to choose from.  Visit http://www.tresorparis.com for a peek at their fabulous range.

Who doesn’t like a bit of chocolate?  Well, I know I certainly love a good chocolate bar, and trust me – it doesn’t get better than this one!  Yes, these fabulous bars from Jamie Oliver will not only put a smile on his or her face, but will deliver a message as well!

These bars have been made to really make a statement so you might not even need a card this Valentine’s Day!!!  Yes, pop a bar into the post and let Mr Postie deliver it to your chosen lady/man and sign it off from their secret admirer – now, that I like the sound of!  With statements such as ‘Big Love’ and ‘Smooth Operator’, sending the right message is easy!
Jamie Oliver’s Chocolate Bars are all organic, fair-trade and incredibly delicious!  All have different flavours which are utterly mouth-watering!  If you’re a lover of Dark Chocolate, the ‘Light My Fire’ is the one for you!  This is a rich dark chocolate with spiced with warming ginger and orange.  Simply eat it as it is, or add to a homemade pudding for zingy chocolate flavour – yummy!

Each bar will only set you back £2.00, so it’s well affordable for all.  They are available to buy in Debenhams and from http://www.jamieoliver.com where you can also check out further stockists.

Thank you Jamie, I’m sure you will make many a person happy this Valentine’s Day.

I reviewed Chocolate Shop a little before Christmas, and think it is just the thing for Valentine’s.  Yes, The Chocolate Lover’s Wine makes the perfect match and will delight many on Valentine’s Day. This really is the ultimate treat for chocolate lovers, and will be an experience like no other.

A fine balance between a seductive rich dark chocolate and premium red wine delivers a splendid twist over regular wines of choice for this special occasion. With inviting aromas of black cherry and rich dark chocolate combined, these continue on the palate surrounded by hints of cocoa powder and soft vanilla.

Commenting on Chocolate Shop, Lewis Jones, Managing Director of D&D Wines International, said:

“Chocolate and red wine is a classic pairing, so our new chocolate infused red wine is a truly indulgent treat for chocolate lovers. We believe it will make a fantastic Valentine’s Day treat”. 

As an alternative to serving at room temperature, try Chocolate Shop as a short drink over ice or as a refreshing long drink by adding to fresh orange juice. 

Or if you’re cooking up a delicious meal to celebrate try our simple recipe for sumptuous Chocolate Shop Tiramisu for a truly seductive and indulgent experience.
