I need to send business gifts to clients in Germany and Australia (NSW)...

I am sending Godiva to my US clients so I am looking for something along those lines ...
Good chocolate... that can/will ship to addresses in Germany and one for Australia as well...
websites?
suggestions?

Thanks!

Well, first of all, you left it for too late.

Second...buy yourself, ship UPS or FedEx. I don't know if there is anywhere that you can buy and ship overseas. And, it'll let you avoid the whole Christmas shipping wars.

Good luck!

First of all "I" didn't leave it to late - trust me it was a group effort

Secondly I am not at all concerned with it getting there prior to the holidays...

Third having it shipped here - then turning around and shipping it internationally is just silly and a waste of $$ - not to mention how banged up they'll be when the DO arrive...

I know there are plenty of chocolatiers in both Australia and Germany... I just don't know who the 'good' ones are ...

I am basically asking in an effort to avoid sending someone the equivalent of a box of Hershey Kisses ...

meant to say "leave it until too late" ... blah

[slutwhores]

yeah there's an english version but it's allemagne if you prefer to order in french.

If you want to send zee shocolat, send zChocolate.

You could also try Gifts To Europe.

Although I have to recommend Neuhaus chocolates, since my great great grandfather Jean started the company. :-b But technically that's Belgian/Swiss chocolate.

I love you Dan

Now to sort out Australia

[ivy_red]

their web site is down for some reason. But the shop is at 3489 16th Street in SF.
Also http://www.scharffenberger.com/ is great.

Remember that anything that you buy at Under One Roof, 100% of proceeds go to HIV/AIDS organizations. They have really cool Bay Area themed items too that the Aussies and Germans might enjoy. This is my favorite place to buy gifts.

oh and the store always has more things and rotating cool stuff then the web site.
It's run by a bunch of gay men, trust me, it's good fun stuff.

for your own chocolate lust, make sure to go to the Ferry Building Market and try the Recchiuti chocolates. I have never tasted any chocolates like these...

I also got a bottle of body oil there.. chocolate saffron scented. it's total aphrodisiac for me....

btw, Jan 3rd Sunday. Can you shoot? I think it's the 22nd.

OMG!!! YEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!

Those chocolates are S E X ... I love the lavendar vanilla, terragon grapefruit, and honeycomb (and jasmine, and mint tea, and...)the pates de fruit esp passionfruit... holy hell... they are ALL so good...

There is a little shop around the corner from me that sells them...

If you like those you should give these a whirl too - definately on a par... mmmmm http://www.richart-chocolates.com/

I think the 22nd will work - I might be in LA though... I will know a bit later this week...
