Find all your holiday shopping made easy at Touch of Europe !

Enjoy !

In an innovative way of course! We had a very cool vintage bird cage in the store and while it garnered a lot of interest it was still in residence this fall. So, so we decided………MAKEOVER! We brought the bird cage to a friend of ours who can turn just about any item into a lamp.

The Cage 'Before'

We were inspired by:

And this was our interpretation:

We had the bird cage spray painted in a glossy black and had it wired to hang upside down. With one of our new retro light bulbs in place this ensemble became a useful, innovative, chandelier that all your friends will be gabbing about….Just picture it in an entryway…awesome!

 

Wait.. you’re thinking.. “it’s Thanksgiving Season, Holiday Season, Shopping Season, but Chocolate season?”

Yes, Chocolate Season at Touch of Europe… because we only ship our Touch of Europe Gourmet Chocolate during cold months to ensure you get the freshest, best condition product in your shipment.

So this time of year, we can’t WAIT for the new chocolates to come in and there are some GORGEOUS chocolates this year. They are perfect stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, teacher and neighbor gifts.. the list is endless, because really, not many people don’t like chocolate and this year we have something really cool for the guys !

For the Guys ! Swiss Army Knives Swiss Chocolate.

And for ANYONE.. the NEW Large Size Gavottes Dark Chocolate Crepe Dentelle Cookies – 720 gr

Gavottes are a range of fine biscuits (cookies in Europe, Australia etc are called Biscuits), delicate plain or chocolate coated crispy crepe dentelles, perfect for snacking any time of the day.

The authentic Gavotte crepe dentelle is a fine biscuit made following a recipe handed down since 1920. Gavottes are light and golden, composed of super fine crusty layers all rolled up. The absolutely unique manufacturing process is a closely kept secret,and these cookies are exported world-wide. Great on their own, with coffee, Champagne, or wine, as a finishing touch for an ice-cream or creme dessert.

This box contains about 150 pieces, and is designed with a dispenser.

We also have all sorts of chocolates in gift boxes, bars, spoons and more at Touch of Europe ! So take a look and pick yours early.

Enjoy !

We hope you enjoy this traditional childrens’ song from France, along with a selection of pictures from our store taken on the first day of our Holiday Open House, November 4, 2011. The video is about 3 minutes long.

This version is a bit slower. Music is White Christmas in French
