Presents! A Holiday Giveaway Exclusively for Fans of The Swelle Life!

The word fan makes me a little uncomfortable; l prefer 'minion' or 'groupie'. No! Seriously, we all share a common love of beautiful things whether they take the form of an haute couture dress, a compelling painting, an art deco brooch, a field of wild flowers, or a photo of the moonlit water of the Seine. Well, I assume we do if you're a fan of The Swelle Life! 

So, in the spirit of holiday giving and to show my appreciation for your support of my labour of love, I'm doing a giveaway exclusively for fans of The Swelle Life (as Facebook has facilitated such a thing), and what better way than to share another of my passions - French chocolates! One of my favourite Paris foodie paradises is Fauchon, and I was squealing with joy when I discovered I can buy some of their heavenly confections locally, here in the north east of England! (I did squeal just a little and I muffled it, but the raised, clenched fists pulsating at my sides aroused some attention along with the high pitched vocal leakage.) 

What I've decided to do is pick out three gorgeously packaged, decadent treats for a first, second and third prize. The first will be the magenta heart shaped box of To Die For praline-filled chocolates as you see above (I promise you, you will make weird noises as you eat them), and I haven't decided on the second and third yet but one may be their spiced ground Christmas coffee - any votes for that?  I'm going to buy them this week and then I'll let you know what delectables await.

If you aren't yet a fan of The Swelle Life on Facebook you have time to become one, but this is the only announcement I'll be giving before making the draw of all the names listed in the Fans list on Monday, December 14. So, if you're already a fan you don't have to do anything at all, just keep reading! I'll announce the winners on the day of the draw. Bonne chance!

Yum! How exciting! I was lucky enough to go to Paris around Christmas a couple of years ago & we stumbled upon Fouchon in Madeleine sq (I think it is?) as my beau at the time wanted to visit (another) gallery - I was so pleased we did! Fauchon have taken over like every building there, one's a specialist chocolate/tea shop with a wine cellar, the other a delicatessen & the other a grocer I think? I just love their packaging. Do get some of the Chirstmas coffee it is divine!! I brought some back for my parents then drank more than they did :)
