Sugar Savvy

I am a huge fan of giving unique and unusual gifts. While flowers are always lovely, if sending or bringing a token for special occasions, thank you’s, get wells, I want to make an impression.  In lieu of flowers, I always opt for an Edible Arrangements display. The different edible offerings cost around the same as any flower arrangement I might choose. And, if there is one my way, I save shipping/delivery charges with a pick up. (Thanks to my mom for introducing me to Edible Arrangements!)

But Chocolate?  I head over to Schakolad Chocolate Factory. There are stores in 12 states, which is great!  I adore the shop in which I stop.  Personable and welcoming, I have yet to experience a visit in my 6 years of stopping in when one of the owners of this particular franchise, Craig & Sheree D’Egidio, has not been present and greeted me hello. What’s more? Even though my visits have been more infrequent since graduating and not being on that side of town too, too often, Craig D’Egidio still remembers small details from past visits, like the fact that I am in education, often ship my gifts, and I always get one (1) chocolate covered strawberry with every visit.

Looking to add some spice into your relationship, or let someone know you fancy him/her?  The Schako Paint is sure to send a message. (Not that I have bought it, or anything… ha!) Want to bring a box of chocolates to that birthday party?  Forget Whitman’s. Show up with Birthday Cake Box filled with Assorted Chocolates and the guest of honor will ooh and ahhh, knowing the box is edible as well! What better way to leave a professional impression than with an edible business promotion item? Holidays?  I have sent a chocolate Santa bag filled with truffles, and my brother-in-law a chocolate menorah with blue candy sticks for candles.  It wasn’t like anything I had seen before.

Check them out. Schakolad Chocolate Factory is definitely something worth seeing.
