I usually don’t like the traditional Valentine’s gifts: red roses, a teddy bear or¬†a box of chocolate. How boring! However, there is¬†nothing to snore at with the new additions to the Godiva line — just in time for the holiday (funny how that works).
You could go with the Dark Chocolate Gift Box Set ($32): “Godiva’s dark chocolate pieces are legendary; embrace the moment as you let the intensity of the flavors slowly unfold” and dark chocolate is good for you, right?!
I have to try these and see how they stand up to the rest of the cupcake companies; your special someone might want to too. Not to mention the Godiva Limited Edition Pink Vanilla Buttercream Cupcakes ($28) have a surprising “¬†luscious center of Godiva chocolate ganache.” Mmmmmm.
Lastly, the Dark Chocolate Truffle Heart Biscuit Gift Pack is a a slim $8.50. You still get the punch of the Godiva name and quality, but less of a commitment. Pair it with some Cafe Godiva Coffees or yummy Hot Chocolates — so sophisticated.

Two sisters, Kerri and Patti, are the dames behind the game What’s a Dame to Do?! They live on opposite coasts, but the love of games from their childhood and not being able to find a fun game geared towards adult women kept them playing with different ideas. They knew What’s a Dame to Do?! was a hit when they couldn’t stop laughing, and even their mom played until 2:00 a.m. in the morning. You can buy this game on the Web site Games For Dames and watch the how-to video to see just what you are in for. This would also be a great Mother’s Day gift.
