Chocolate for the Christmas
Manolo says, speaking of the food, the gourmandise and the refined tastes, here is the truly opulent gift for the holidays: the collection of the fine chocolates from the French chocolatier, Michel Richart, the scion of the famous Richart family of the chocolatiers.
Or, if your taste for the chocolate it runs towards the literary and historical, perhaps you could present your loved one who loves the chocolate with this engaging book about the history of the chocolate.
What Do Women REALLY Want? Chocolate!
Or perhaps if you believe the person who is to receive the gift likes to laugh while enjoying the fine chocolates, then you must, must give them this book of the very funny cartoons from the Manolo’s internet friend, the Donna Barstow. It made the Manolo laugh, repeatedly.

The Deja says many thanks to the Manolo for the suggestions for the chocolate lovers. The husband of the Deja is just such an individual, and will be receiving the “History of Chocolate” book for one of the nights of the Hanukkah.
