Do you love picking through a box of chocolates, but hate that, like life, you "never know what you’re going to get?"
Coco Luxe chocolates may just be your newest obsession. Chocolate fanatic Stephanie Marcon creates playful chocolates inspired by classic dessert flavors. But her genius doesn’t stop at her chocolate recipes–she cleverly "labels" each chocolate with a cute illustration identifying the contents, be it devil’s food (mmm), angel food, gingerbread, double cherry, or banana split (oh so Willy Wonka!).
Coco Luxe chocolates come in three boxed collections–a Blue Box of Milk Chocolate, a Pink Box of Assorted Chocolates, and a Red Box of Dark Chocolates.
Is it time for your sugar high?
$17.95 each box (of 9 pieces) at Coco Luxe.

On the topic of cool wallets for men, we present The Jimi, courtesy of Christy!
Why’s it so amazing? It’s compact, water resistant, slim, has a detatchable money clip…AND it’s "Made With Respect." That’s right–it’s socially conscious too! 1% of sales go towards the environment, the wallet is made out of recycled materials, and they even pay their workers a fair wage to make the spiffy looking wallet!
What’s not to love?
$15.75 at The Jimi.

Scharffen Berger chocolate has a deliciously creamy texture and a full, rich flavor. Chocolate connoisseurs would agree that the Milk Chocolate is to Die for.
Let’s just say that once you go Scharffen Berger, you don’t go back.

Disguised as a lighter, this truly pocket-friendly digital camera is an essential part of any respectable secret agent’s bag of tricks. The l’espion S not only takes photos, but it also records movies and sounds. And with a super small file size, the camera holds up to 150 pictures at 640 x 480, and up to 310 pictures at 320 x 240.
Particularly interesting for the paranoid? Surveillance mode, where you can record images at pre-set time intervals. Perfect for covert observation for up to 19 days.

Ever lend out a book to a friend, only to have it disappear into a black hole, never to be seen again?
Knock Knock’s Personal Library Kit is the perfect antidote. You can easily keep track of where each of your books is, and the handy-dandy "Return Date" is a polite reminder to the borrower to give you back your stuff.
Problem solved!
$24.95 at Knock Knock.

Perfect for the friend who always has a book in her bag.
I love the retro-feeling colors and the cool punctuation marks. Prettier than Post-its, AND it appeals to my obsessive-compulsive side!

It’s always hard to find something that everyone in the office will appreciate, but you really can’t go wrong with this gourmet combo of organic figs, organic dark chocolate and vintage port all in one bite. Mmm…Scrumptious!

I think this makes the perfect gift because it’s an item someone might not purchase but would love to receive. Not only is it ergonomic — it’s designed to be held with only one hand and can hold a pair of chopsticks — but its sleek design makes for great conversation.
$30 at Flavour Design.

One part functional, and one part cutting edge chic, these laptop cases are the coolest we’ve seen yet.
Maloo’s laptop cases are made of 100% wool felt (not the standard neoprene…or worse, nylon) and are multifunctional. Not only do they serve as laptop cases with their velcro straps, but they also serve as heat-absorbing mats on which to place your laptop while in use. And you can leave your mousepad at home, because they also double as a chic mousepad.
If you like what you see, snap it up fast–they’re for sale for the next Two Days Only at Charles and Marie. After that, check out Red Maloo’s site for these cases.
Thanks, Marcus, for bringing our attention to these laptop cases!
$75 at Charles and Marie.
