Manic, Panic and other things ending in "ic"

This last week has been incredibly hectic. We've been kicking into high gear for Christmas - I don't even want to think about the fact that there are less than fifty days to go! I think we have gone through more coffee in the last seven days than we can account for. Speaking of which... we're still testing the flavoured coffees for a new line we're looking at introducing in the new year - what flavours would you be interested in? Possibilities at this point are Double Chocolate, a Hazelnut/Cinnamon flavour and Toffee Cappucino - these have certainly been favourites in here!

We're also thinking about doing personalised Terramundi money pots - names, personal messages and more. The idea, of course, is that you pick any colour and design of pot you like and then we put your message of choice onto the pot in a permanent textured paint. Finding a paint that won't peel is easier said than done, though - we won't do anything that won't last!

Of course, the reason I've been beside myself all week is adding all of the new Christmas hampers and Italian fine food hampers that we're sorting out for the holidays. I've got my eye on one of the Winter in Venice gift sets - I really like the wooden cabinet with the Honeysuckle scented bath products.

Whisky and Liqueur Cakes - Sneak Preview

I have to admit I have a terrible sweet tooth. And the new cakes and biscuits sitting behind me, all waiting for photography and adding to our festive hampers, are absolute torment, especially since our tasting crew has told me that they are absolutely fantastic. Of course, I'm not allowed to try any yet!

The whisky and liqueur cakes come in round collector's tins, and I can't wait to see what they look like once we start putting together some gift ideas around them. The nice folks at Ashers Bakery have certainly done some beautiful work with these.

Here's to hoping someone will decide I get to be on the next tasting trip :)
