Ghiradelli Wedding Chocolate Squares, Free Shipping Ghiradelli

Free shipping on ghirardelli Chocolates

Diet or no diet, this girl needs her chocolate. Ohh ya it has completely been one of those weeks. It was one of those weeks where you ended up having to deal with those extremely frustrating people and you run into those people at work that love to set everyone else up to fail and create trouble for everyone even though there really was no reason why. We all know those people and most of us hate them. Personally I think they should all be fired since they really actually add little to no value in a company and actually make it less productive for other people. Anyways., enough venting and onto the point of this post which is why I am craving chocolate and why I think that the Ghiradelli Wedding Chocolate Squares and Ghirardeli Chocolate Wedding Favors are completely a great solution, diets and beach season aside.

ghiradelli chocolate squares

Ghirardelli Wedding Chocolate Squares

So one thing I love about walking into a wedding reception is finding my seat and finding a candy or a piece of chocolate or something sitting there waiting for me. It isn’t only that I completely love junk food, candy and my very favorite anything covered in chocolate, but it also helps to recharge and refresh you after a long day of sitting through a ceremony, wishing the happy couple the best of luck and also because you are usually starving and know that dinner is still just a little to far away.

The thing is that leaving a chocolate, especially a nice chocolate like the Ghirardelli wedding chocolate squares, you know the ones they give out free when you walk in the Ghirardelli stores that are flavored or solid chocolate and come individually wrapped.  Not only do these help energize people and tide them over until dinner, but they also just make people smile.

Almost everyone loves chocolate and the flavor of the Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares and Ghirardelli Wedding Chocolates also just leave you and your mouth feeling happy and refreshed and sort of also clean and clear your pallet for dinner.  I love the taste and absolutely love when brides and grooms leave out Ghirardelli wedding chocolates at every seat at the wedding reception.  It is not only classy but also functional.  God, right now I sort of wish I was living in Chicago again and I could go to the Ghirardelli store off of Michigan Avenue for a chocolate mocha and a free Ghirardelli chocolate square sample lol.

Anyways, leaving chocolates and candies to help bring people’s sugar levels and energy levels back up is a serious must at weddings and although some people go for a popular “high end” mall store chocolate which we won’t name, that is just a brand name.  If you want to really impress your guests and really give them something to enjoy, you have to give them a real chocolate and although there are a million ones to choose from, my favorite wedding chocolates are by far the Ghirardelli Wedding Chocolates.  Sure Lindt and Sees are also amazing chocolates and if I had a Sees candy by my house I would probably never leave the store, but when you need a refreshing wedding chocolate and have to buy chocolates for your wedding favors, Ghirardelli is the only chocolate company that should come to mind.  I love when people give out Ghirardelli chocolate squares at weddings and know that as long as your guests aren’t allergic to chocolate then they will love the Ghirardelli Wedding Chocolates just as much as I do, then again who doesn’t love chocolate.

Now you may think that Ghirardelli chocolates may be to expensive to give out to everyone but if you price around the quality chocolates, Ghirardelli is actually extremely affordable and if you click any of the links or images in this post to go to the Ghirardelli website, you’ll also be able to automatically get free shipping on your orders over $60.  You don’t even need a coupon or to do anything else.  I know this offer is currently live but I do have to warn you that the free shipping offer from Ghirardelli may not last forever so if for some reason the Ghirardelli Free Shipping offer ends, please feel free to come back here and post so we all know.

Anyways, I love Ghirardelli Chocolate Wedding Favors and know that your guests will to.  Whether you want to give out Ghirardelli Chocolate Wedding Favors or just want to order Ghirardelli chocolates for yourself, click this link to visit their site and don’t forget to save a few pieces for me.  Click here to visit the Ghirardelli Chocolates site.

Ok,I am a complete sucker for everything Las Vegas.  Not tha gambling, not the trash and not the smoking everywhere,,,unless the theme is cigars or smoking themes, but for all of the shows, the food, the hotels and everything else that you can pretty much only find in Las Vegas.

I love pretty much everything you can find in Las Vegas and also have a ton of personal favorite spots to go to and visit like my friend’s Gay Hotel The Blue Moon Resort on Westwood drive and the Wynn Las Vegas Buffet.  I love the deep fried twinkies and other snacks you can find in old downtown Las Vegas that Kathy Griffin and Bette Midler ate on Kathy Griffin’s show My Life on the D List which is on Bravo.  I love the night clubs both straight and gay like Gypsy, Rain, Moon, etc…  And I love all of the fabulous wheel of fortune and progressive penny slots where you can play for a couple hours (usually for me at least) for $20 and load up on free drinks before you head to the bars so you actually win out in the long run.

The thing I love most though in Vegas are the Bachelorette and Bachelor parties in Las Vegas where everyone goes absolutely crazy and has an amazing time.  For some reason, people just let go when they are in Las Vegas Nevada and because I also love all the tacky lights and signs and clothing you see walking around, I love to tie it into parties and weddings.

I am completely opposed to poker chip wedding favors when you do a Las Vegas themed wedding, but I do love things like Crystal or glass dice topped wine stoppers or Las Vegas sign chocolates for Las Vegas Wedding Favors.  I love the Dice theme for Las Vegas wedding favors as well because getting married sometimes is like rolling the dice and dice can easily help to tie the Las Vegas Themed Wedding together for you as well.

You can also find and use other Las Vegas Wedding Favors like slot machine gum dispensers and even Las Vegas labeled breath mints so you can kiss someone with confidence at the wedding or even give our personalized cards so that people can have something they will actually use after they leave your wedding on the plane home if they traveled.

I love Las Vegas and love Las Vegas Wedding Favors and know that you will to.  Click any of the links or pictures in the beginning of this post and you’ll visit one of my favorite online Wedding Favor stores and find a ton more ideas for your Las Vegas Themed Wedding Favors.

Heart Shapen Chocolates Heart Shaped Chocolate Favors

Ok, it is almost Valentines Day and that also means all of the Valentine’s Day Wedding Favors and heart shaped everything. Now although doing a Valentine’s Wedding is sweet but also kind of overdone, and can ruin a Valentine’s Day if for some reason you ever split up, one thing I do love is that when I think of Valentine’s Day I think of Chocolate.

Not only do I think of Chocolate, but I also think of Hearts and a perfect reason to be able to break your diet with a ton of really bad food like Dips, Spreads, Carbs and everything else you aren’t supposed to eat when you are on a diet.  What better day to break the Diet rules to either celebrate with the one you love or Celebrate being Single and eat tons of fatty foods and Garlic.  What better reason to also celebrate your wedding and let everyone else who wants to eat tons of bad food break their diets and celebrate with you by eating tons of fatty foods and carbs.

Anyways, with Valentine’s Day and Weddings both giving you the perfect reason to eat chocolate and be tacky with hearts, I wanted to share a few different heart shaped chocolate wedding favors and heart shaped chocolate candies.

These creamy milk chocolate hearts wrapped in silver and red foil make great favors when you present them in an organza pouch, cello bag or favor box. The choclates are made by Astor Chocolate which has been producing delicious, premium Belgium chocolate for more than 50 years.

Treat your guests to a small yet scrumptious gift. This elegant chiffon pouch with a red pull string comes with 4 deliciously creamy milk chocolate hearts wrapped in red and silver. The chocolate is made by Astor Chocolate which has been producing premium Belgium chocolate for more than 50 years.

A fresh and whimsical design represents two hearts joining as one. Our pink and blue pastel wrapper is personalized with your names and event date on the front, and a special message from you on the back. It’s then wrapped around a delicious milk chocolate bar for a ready-to-give favor.

Poken, Buy Poken, Poken Reviews, Poken on Sale

Filed under: Non Wedding,wedding favor,Wedding Gift — Tags: , , — rollerbladerdc @ 1:25 am
Do You Poken?

Buy Poken Online

So I have been seeing Poken spring up everywhere lately and had never heard of them before.  Poken are these seriously cute, but they also have really professional and mature looking ones for adults and business people or people who want to bring them to conferences or work or a bar, which contain all of your social media data like your Facebook account information, your twitter information and I think 18 other major sites which you may be on so that you and your friends and anyone else you want to keep in touch with.

Poken make your social life easier to keep connected by bringing everyone together and remembering everyone’s contact information so that when you leave the party, the bar or wherever you are you don’t have to spend an hour searching each social media network looking for the person you met.

Not only are Poken a great way to keep in contact with new people, but it is also a great way to not have to use or carry or try to not loose business cards at meetings and conferences anymore.  The other great thing about havign and using your poken is that they are actually kind of fun to have and show off, especially since most people don’t know what they are yet so you look really advanced or ahead of the times.  I can easily see Poken becoming one of the next biggest trends because of all the cool things they can do and because of all of the extra things you can do when you upload all your poken data to your poken website so you can see who you met, when you met them, etc…

The other cool thing about Poken and how Poken tie into weddings is that when you are at weddings, everyone is there to show off.  Miserable married couples show off to show how much better they are than other miserable married couples and Poken let them show how much more advanced and trendy they are than others.

Single people go because they know everyone will be emotional and weddings are a great place to meet people and with your Poken you won’t have to try and find a pen and a napkin to write with since all you have to do is tap your Poken together and you can easily stay in touch without having to worry about having to search for each other after the wedding.  Or, if you want to give a wrong number, buy two Poken where one has your real information and the other has fake so you can give the people you like the Poken with your real information and the people you don’t want to talk to a fake Poken contact information page with fake listings telling them that they got fake info.

Poken are also great for wedding favors to leave on wedding tables for your guests so everyone at your wedding can keep connected after the wedding is over.  Not only are they cool,  but the wedding guests will go crazy over them and talk about the Poken wedding favors for a long time after your wedding is over.  I love Poken and the place I am probably going to buy Poken from for myself and my friends is PokenZoo.com.  PokenZoo.com is a pretty cool site with a great video on how to use and set up your Poken and you can also Buy Poken Online at PokenZoo.com, so hurry up and buy your Poken today so you don’t miss out when everyone else in the world has a Poken and you are the only one left without.  Buy Poken Online by clicking here.

Tea, Hot Chocolate and Hot Drink Wedding Favors.

Filed under: food,wedding favor — Tags: , , — rollerbladerdc @ 2:13 am

Ok, I cannot believe I caught the flu again!  This is the second time this year so far I have caught the flu.  This seriously sucks.  Anyways, just like every other time I catch the flu I need tea and hot drinks because my sinuses go absolutely crazy and this time I have a really bad sore throat.  The sore throat could actually be from Karaoke last night in a bar that allows smoking and I don’t smoke or am not used to it so singing with all the cigarette smoke could have made it sore, or it could be from going into the warm and cold air over and over again that is causing it to hurt, but regardless of anything, my throat is killing me and thank god I bought a ton of tea last time I had the flu and tonight I made an amazing mix of tea.  I took one bag of organic white tea that had vanilla in it and mixed it with two bags of moroccan mint organic tea and it not only tasted amazing, but it also helped my throat feel better almost instantly.

I love all of the antioxidants in the white and green teas and the mint is soothing and the vanilla tastes great so this was an amazing blend of teas for a sore throat and got me thinking that I should recommend more tea wedding favors to you all so here are three different tea wedding favors from three of my favorite online wedding stores that sell these and about a million other wedding favors including more tea infusers, tea steepers, customized tea bags, tea glasses, tea stirrers, tea plates, tea pot wedding favors and pretty much everything else tea wedding favors that you can think of.  I love these stores and thank god for tea when you have the flu to not only help you feel better, but also keep you warm if you have a fever and the chills.

Here are three fabulous tea wedding favors for you to choose from from three different online wedding stores.

Chocolate coffee cup wedding favors
Ok, this isn’t actually a tea themed wedding favor, however it is still a hot drink wedding favor and even better it is chocolate.  If you have read and followed this blog you know that I love food and I love chocolate even more.  These chocolate cups come with a hot choclate packet and also a heart shaped wisk to mix the hot chocolate in to the cup and because the wisk is heart shaped this is the perfect hot chocolate wedding favors.  Each chocolate cup is engraved with the word “chocolate” in white lettering and measures 3.75″.

heart shaped tea infuser wedding favors
This heart-shaped tea infuser presents elegantly in a beribboned gift box with a matching gift tag that reads “thank you”. For an additional 35-cents you may choose to have the tag personalized with your names and wedding date. These heart shaped tea infuser wedding favors are perfect for any wedding and especially for winter weddings when everyone loves a hot cup of tea.  Gift box measures 7.5″ long and approximately 2″ wide.
tea cup shaped tea infuser wedding favors Teacup Infusers With Giant Cup (Set Of 24) – $ 84.00
“Teacup tea infusers are unique party favors for bridal tea parties, weddings and birthday parties.”

These are perfect tea wedding favors.  They are not only cute and classic, but they are also perfect gifts for your bridal shower and for the wedding party at the wedding.  I love these tea infuser wedding favors and your guests are going to love them as well.

Ok these are cool as heck.  Everyone has wine stoppers and everyone gives wine stoppers at their wine themed weddings, but noone ever thinks to give something seriously cool like the grape themed wine toppers.  They aren’t only cool, but they will also be the favorite wine wedding favor for all of your wino friends.


Tropical Fish Glass Wine Stopper

Price: 6.00″Wine stoppers are a great way for wine enthusiasts to share their hobby with family and friends. Be a little creative and select a stopper from our six designs that best fits your theme. Each stopper comes individually boxed in a stylish, blue gift box”

These are pretty cool as well.  I don’t know if I would give them out, but they are completely modern, unique and pretty cool to have.  I would definitely use it if I got it and recommend buying these wine toppers for wedding favors, but for me, I probably wouldn’t for my wedding.


Spire Glass Wine Stopper

Ok I don’t like these so unless you are having a wedding in napa valley or by the beach, these are not good wedding favors. Even if you like them, unless your wedding is on the beach and you love them and don’t want any other favors, don’t use these ones….you are much better off with a different styled wine stopper.

Not only does everyone drink wine, but they are completely practical and everyone will appreciate them.  Everyone can use another wine bottle opener or a wine stopper and everyone loves wine glasses, especially if they are customized wine glasses from their friends wedding.

Wine is not only perfect for the party, but in many religions and cultures, wine is also part of the wedding ceremony and part of the actual way that people have celebrated for years.  I love the fact that this one drink is one thing that not only ties most of the major religions of the world together, but is also a drink that can completely bond a group of people together and help everyone have a good time.  I love the idea of wine themed weddings and love wine themed wedding favors even more.  If you haven’t picked out your wedding favors yet, you should seriously look at using wine themed wedding favors for your wedding.

Heart Shaped Wedding Favors Sale, Valentines Day Wedding Favors Ideas

I can’t believe it is already just about winter and thanksgiving and all of the winter holidays.  And with winter comes cold air, winter coats, nights indoors with a fire or tv and a blanket, and although the cold air can stink, the one thing I love most about winter is the Winter Weddings.

Everything is silver, you can bring in ice colors and cold colors, you can use things that shine and everything seems to be more magical like a winter wonderland and you also have valentines weddings, christmas weddings, hanukah weddings, new years weddings and things that scream shiney, glittery, hearts and love and even silver and cold themed favors and gifts like snowflakes and ice. However, the one thing I love most about winter weddings and Valentines weddings is the favors that you can choose, use and give out and because a lot of them are out of season, you can actually get winter wedding and valentines wedding favors on sale or at a discount since they are technically not on season since most weddings are in the spring and summer when the weather is warmer and people can get married outside, so I actually prefer the winter weddings and valentines weddings because you can not only choose more heart shaped wedding favors, but you can also use warm themes, wine wedding favors and heart shaped wine stoppers and warm themed wedding favors are all also perfect for winter and valentines weddings.  Anyways, if you are lost on what I am talking about with winter wedding favors and valentines wedding favors being warm and heart shaped, I made it easier for you to find them and find them on sale because I went to one of my favorite online wedding shops and picked out a bunch of winter and valentines day wedding favors for you and heart shaped wedding favors which might be on sale since it is the off season to show you what I mean and what I love for winter weddings and heart shaped valentines wedding favors.

I love wine and wine gifts and wine wedding favors so of course I am going to love this one….however I am not too much of a fan of the heart on top of the wine bottle stopper.  I kind of like the opened heart in the image next to this one better, but buy the one that you and your partner like better because it is your wedding and should reflect your taste.  I completely don’t think you could ever go wrong with a wine wedding gift and especially not heart shaped wine stoppers for your winter and valentines wedding.

Tea Wedding Gifts Tea Wedding Favors Tea Weddings on Sale

Well, I flew to Florida to visit a client and on the way back there was a flu shot stand at the airport and with H1N1 finally just about done, I almost stopped and got a flu shot, but figured there are other people that could use one more than me so I passed it up.  Then again, I guess I jinxed it since I got a sinus infection the minute I got back home.

Anyways, even though my sinus infection passed, it is completely time to switch from iced and cold drinks to tea and hot chocolate for the winter and the fall.  Hot apple cider, hot tea and hot drinks are amazing when you are coming in from the cold and are perfect for when it is too warm to turn on the heat in your home or apartment and too cold to keep it off.  I love to have a glass of tea and lay under my blankets when the weather is between freezing and jacket and when you turn on your heater your house gets way to hot.  If you just snuggle up under your blanket and enjoy a hot cup of tea, especially if you have a cold, a flu, a sore throat, sinus infections, a cough, or anything when you don’t feel good, you’ll stay nice and warm and the tea will help to make you feel better and fix what is wrong.  At least tea works for me for most of the time and actually I need to go to the store and buy some tonight.

Anyways, with cold and flu season coming on and everyone wanting to stay warm, I decided to go to one of my favorite online favor and wedding gift stores and see if they had anything for tea or tea gifts and tea wedding favors and as they always do have everything and anything I ever want to find, I found a ton of fabulous tea wedding gifts and tea wedding favors.

Cookie Surprises Wedding Baskets and Cookie Gifts. The Perfect Wedding Invitation and Gift!

The other week I had a friend get sick and ended up sending him some flowers and gave a call.  It sort of reminded me when I was younger and I would always catch the flu or break an arm or end up getting hurt somehow doing something stupid or get the flu because I used to love to play when it rained outside in the rain.  Not to mention I always loved the snow, and everytime I would end up with the flu or in the hospital I would always get at least one Cookie Bouquet which was always my favorite gift.
http://www.CookieSurprises.com
People would always send a huge tin of popcorn or stuffed animals or one time I got a roll of steel pennies and another time a really cool balloon gram gift, but my favorite gift which someone always ended up buying was definitely the cookie bouquet.

Not only did the cookies always make me smile and the icing taste amazing, but they also were like artwork and I loved getting to show them off to people.  The best part, besides eating the cookie bouquet was the cool wrapping and all of the colorful paper that came with it too because we would fold it up and use it to make decorations and even use it to regift the things I didn’t really like to my sister so she wouldn’t feel left out.  Anyways, the point of this rambling is that when my friend was sick and I sent flowers to him, I should have actually thought of something more creative and original like a cookie bouquet from Cookie Surprises.

One of my nieghbors up the street is a single mom and raising two kids and was looking for a way to start a new business and bring in some extra money.  I ended up running into her accidently and ended up having a really good conversation with her.  She told me about what she was doing and about how she decided to start a business online that she could not only do from home, but also get her kids involved in to not only teach them responsibility, but also about business and let them really earn their allowance by helping their mom get her new business off the ground.

She told me about her mom always buying her ginger bread cookies when she was younger and how much she loved them and when she thought about something fun she could do that would also help her earn some extra money and help to teach her kids about business, she combined one of her favorite childhood memories with her passion and something fun and created Cookie Surpises which delivers cookie bouquets and cookie boxes that are not only decorated and themed, but wrapped gorgeously and look fabulous.  She also told me about how much fun she has getting to watch people open then like when she randomly sent one to her mom without her mom knowing about her new company and when her mom opened the cookie bouquet, she not only light up, but she put the colored paper in her hair and immediately started to show off the cool and perfectly decorated cookies to everyone in the room.  That story reminded me of my favorite cookie bouquet basket from when I was a little kid which was a bunch of dinosaur cookies in multiple colors and different types of dinosaurs.  My favorite dinosaur cookie was always the blue or green brontesoraus (spelled wrong) or the red and orange tyranasorous or the stegasorous,,,,wow my spelling is bad lol….and then my second favorite cookie gift was the hot air balloon cookie basket I got from my uncle who loved hot air ballooning.

Cookie Gifts are not only something people remember for a lifetime, but they are fun and almost liek artwork that people love to show off…not to mention delicious to eat and even more fun to play with…ohhh and eat and that is why I wanted to recommend buying a cookie bouquet for your next gift for someone.  They are perfect for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, the holidays, barmitzvahs and everything else where you need to buy a gift and what makes the cookie gifts from Cookie Surprises unique is that you can custom create your own cookie gift instead of having to rely on them creating the basket or box for you.

This also means that if you would want to order them for a gay wedding or for a special occasion that normally wouldn’t happen or be available, you could order to brides dresses or two tuxedos and also wedding bells and flowers or other decorative cookies and if you need something for someone who has a million interests, you can easily mix and match the cookies to make the perfect cookie gift for anyone.
