A shopping blog of cool gift ideas

Most of us will be doing our share of traveling this holiday weekend and what better way to spread some goodwill with your hosts then a big box of truffles. I will admit I have a soft spot for Vermont. I love all their delicious exports: maple syrup, cheddar cheese, and most of all chocolate.

This holiday chocolate box from Lake Champlain really won me over. Made on the premises in Burlington, Vermont, they're filled with fantastic concoctions like maple crunch, peppermint, and honey caramel. It's a real crowd pleaser. Plus I love the wintery scene printed on the box, even though I'm dreading snow! So if you're looking for a gift in a pinch, these chocolates make for a thoughtful last minute gift.
