Easy ways to please your boss...Find the perfect holiday giveaway

Has your boss handed over the most important job of the year to you?

Mine has... Find the Perfect Giveaway for our Holiday Client Event and I need it in two weeks...

Let me recommend this sure crowd pleaser, your boss will give you a promotion and your clients will love you and give you lots more business :) It's Called:

Vosges Haut Chocolat




Their corporate guru was great to work with and really got things together so we could have a sampling of a few top picks and even get the 50 chocolate boxes we ordered within two weeks.

They have exotic, amazing flavors that caused my whole office to melt into little puddles (My female boss: Began "Oh My goshing"...and "No Waying" followed by a completely dramatic canter around the office, exclaiming the absolute to die for flavor of the Black Pearl Truffle ( Vosges describes the flavor as an initially sharp, quickly dispersing fire of real wasabi and ginger that are traditionally linked to Japanese cuisine. Then wrapped in dark chocolate and topped with black sesame seeds to add intrigue.) )
My Favorite was called Absinthe ( Vosges Description: Chinese star anise + fennel + pastis + dark chocolate + cocoa powder. Flavors of aniseed and fennel are reminiscent of the infamous French liqueur made fashionable in the late 1800s. The green fairy flutters. )
Absolutely amazing...so if you are looking for wedding give-aways or a very special and unique gift this definitly tops my list.



YUM!


My other very successful mission: Was to find one of our sales managers a Pineapple Upside Down Cake...you might think it would be easy in this town but it was not easy!

However I discovered this small bakery called Amelia's Cakes and it was fabulous! The pineapple upside down cake was moist, delicious and just sweet enough to tickle the whole offices tongues!!

Amelia's Cakes was started by a DC mom and her friends who apparently needed something to do, but Thank God they did because it was great and so simple to work with, you pay by paypal (they email you a link) and you only have to order two days in advance which was nice (since we definitly thought about it last minute)
They also deliver which was amazing...

You can find them online at ameliascakes.com!
