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.

Cakes and Biscuits and Perfumes, oh my!

Well, I'm putting the Ashers Bakery gift hampers onto the site now... and they look even better than I'd thought. I still haven't gotten to try the Chocolate and Grand Marnier cake, nor the Cranberry and Orange biscuits.

That said, this week has been surprise coffee week. We're taste-testing some coffee that might just wind up being on the site, and with a new flavour every day so far, we're having a lot of fun. And this time I did get to be on the tasting list, because I was the one who found the company in the first place. Today's flavour was Mocha Orange. Very, very nice. If you're interested in us stocking gourmet flavoured ground or instant coffees in our gift hampers, please tell us about it!

Keep your eyes out for some new gift hampers in the next two weeks - with name-brand perfume and aftershave gift packs.
