We all know how special our Mum’s are, and how rewarding it is to be a Mum.  All us mother’s deserve a little treat now and again, and I can think of no better indulgent treat than these fabulous chocolates from Prestat.  These Milk Chocolate Marc de Champagne Truffles will make any mother feel loved and appreciated this Mother’s Day.

I had the absolute pleasure to sample these luxurious chocolates, and I can honestly say they were spectacularly yummy!  I am a huge chocolate fan and have to have some everyday, so this delightful box of treats was perfect to accompany a few drinks on a Saturday night.

For any mother with a passion for chocolate truffles, a box of the Milk Chocolate Marc de Champagne Truffles will make the ultimate present for this mother’s day.  Champagne is gently turned into the smoothest of brandies before being combined with Prestat’s finest milk chocolate and enrobed in a smooth chocolate shell.  They make the most perfect self-indulgent moment!

The box itself is presented with the trademark gold swirls of the chocolatier to The Queen, created by the renowned artist and illustrator Kitty Arden.  It looks great, and the contents are utterly delectable

The Independent have stated:-

“Exquisite, rich and dangerously moreish.”

This fabulous box of wonderful truffles is priced at £9.98, which I think is a really good price!  They are available at http://www.prestat.co.uk, in Waitrose, Selfridges, Liberty, John Lewis and the Prestat concession in Harrods.

Before Martha Lane Fox, Jacqueline Gold, Tamara Mellon, Lara Morgan and Michelle Mone there was Dorothy Purdew! Starting with just £60, Dorothy built up Champneys, one of the largest spa companies in the world. Her clients over the years have included everyone from the Beckhams to Barbara Windsor.

This fascinating autobiography by Dorothy Purdew tells the extraordinary story of how she became one of the world’s most influential spa operators.

image

From an impoverished background in pre-war London to a wartime evacuee, Dorothy Purdew quickly had to overcome many of life’s hurdles. Through hard work and dedication, she began to take her first entrepreneurial steps in the health and fitness industry by launching WeightGuard, in 1970 with just £60. Eight years later she started her first health farm, Frimley’s. With her son Stephen, she went on to open Henlow Grange, Springs, Forest Mere and finally Champneys at Tring.
This book is full of stories about celebrity visitors past and present, along with revealing anecdotes about what some guests really do get up to when they are supposed to be being healthy! Clients over the years have included George Best, Jimmy Saville, Paul Gascoigne, Tony Adams, David and Victoria Beckham, Barbara Windsor and Naomi Campbell. I know that there are many people who would love to hear some secrets about the stars!

I think that The Long Road to Champneys (£25.00) will make a great gift for many. It isn’t available until 29th April so you have plenty of time to order it!
