This is a wonderful Christmas gift for your love one! Artisan du Chocolat London has a wonderful Christmas chocolate collections that bring out the holiday season nostalgia. I'm envy of those who live in Chelsea, Notting Hill or Selfridges where you can visit their shops there...

Christmas Snow Globes.

'A little Christmas retro and collectible kitsch with our chocolate snow Globes Marvellous edible decorations, shake them (not too hard!) and you can hear the caramel, cocoa nibs and biscuit bits inside soon to be eaten. Our globes are made in dark chocolate and decorated in edible silver and gold with a snowy London landscape, Santa sleigh or winter trees. Unfortunately they are too fragile to send but reserve your adorable and delicious kitsch globes to pick up in our Chelsea, Notting Hill or Selfridges shops from Nov 1.'

Winter Chocolate Bird House.

'Delicate chocolate bird houses with snowy roofs and bright facades filled with chocolate coated pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Winter is a perfect time for long walks in the woods. This inspired us to create these wonderful chocolate bird houses. Unfortunately they are too fragile to send but you can come and pick one up in our Chelsea, Notting Hill or Selfridges shops. Designs may vary so pick up the one you like as the perfect present to attract beautiful winter birds. Out of stock! ~sigh~'

Swarovski Magical Christmas Tree

I was browsing through Swarovski crystal web page and found this lovely figurine! Designed by Eva Maria Reid, this Swarovski Magical Christmas Tree (USD 300) would certainly add a taste to your house-proud friends when you presents this accent as a Christmas gift.

'It glimmers in faceted clear crystal with what appears to be floating stars in Comet Argent Light crystal. The tree top flaunts a shining star in Golden Shadow crystal. Let the enchantment come your way with its magically play of light.'
